Should the Aircraft fail to [*] complete the Technical Acceptance Process requirements, the Seller shall without hindrance from the Buyer be entitled to carry out any necessary changes to the Aircraft and, as soon as practicable thereafter, resubmit the Aircraft to such further Technical Acceptance Process as is necessary to demonstrate the proper functioning of the Aircraft, which will include an additional Technical Acceptance Flight (defined below) of the Aircraft if reasonably required to verify correction of the failure. Each successive failure of an Aircraft to [*] complete the Technical Acceptance Process will be governed by the preceding sentence. [*]

 

8.1.2 The Technical Acceptance Process shall:

 

  (i) commence on a date notified by the Seller to the Buyer as per clause 9.1.2 and in any case will commence no fewer than ten (10) days following the Buyer’s receipt of such notice;

8.2.3

If, following the Buyer’s receipt of notice pursuant to Clause 9.1.2, the Buyer does not attend [*] and/or fails to reasonably cooperate in the Technical Acceptance Process in respect of an Aircraft, the Seller acting as a reasonable buyer, will be entitled to commence the Technical Acceptance Process and, if Buyer or its designee does not thereafter join the Technical Acceptance Process, complete

12.3.2.1 In the event any Supplier, under any warranty obtained by the Seller and transferred to the Buyer pursuant to the Supplier Product Support Agreement, defaults in the performance of any material obligation with respect thereto and the Buyer submits in reasonable time to the Seller reasonable evidence that such default has occurred, then Clause 12.1 shall apply to the extent the same would have been applicable had such Supplier Part been a Warranted Part, except that the Supplier’s warranty period as indicated in the Supplier Product Support Agreement shall apply.

 

12.3.2.2 In the event any Supplier, under any Supplier service life policy obtained by the Seller and transferred to the Buyer pursuant to the Supplier Product Support Agreement, defaults in the performance of any material obligation with respect thereto and the Buyer submits in reasonable time to the Seller reasonable evidence that such default has occurred, then Clause 12.2 shall apply to the extent the same would have been applicable had such Supplier Item been listed in Exhibit F, Seller Service Life Policy, except that the Supplier’s service life policy period as indicated in the Supplier Product Support Agreement shall apply.

12.4 Interface Commitment

 

12.4.1 Interface Problem

If the Buyer experiences any technical problem in the operation of an Aircraft or its systems due to a malfunction, the cause of which, after due and reasonable investigation, is not readily identifiable by the Buyer but which the Buyer reasonably believes to be attributable to the design characteristics of one or more components of the Aircraft (“Interface Problem”), the Seller shall, if so requested by the Buyer, and without charge to the Buyer, promptly conduct or have conducted an investigation and analysis of such problem to determine, if possible, the cause or causes of the problem and to recommend corrective action. The Buyer shall furnish to the Seller all data and information in the Buyer’s possession relevant to the Interface Problem and shall cooperate with the Seller in the conduct of the Seller’s investigations and such tests as may be required.

At the conclusion of such investigation, the Seller shall promptly advise the Buyer in writing of the Seller’s opinion as to the cause or causes of the Interface Problem and the Seller’s recommendations as to corrective action, including materials, if applicable.

 

12.4.2 Seller’s Responsibility

If the Interface Problem is primarily attributable to the design of a Warranted Part and Buyer has notified Seller of the problem within the Warranty Period for such Warranted Part, the Seller shall correct the design of such Warranted Part and either repair or replace the same in accordance with Clause 12.1 to the extent of the Seller’s obligation as defined in Clause 12.1.

 

12.4.3 Supplier’s Responsibility

If the Interface Problem is primarily attributable to the design of any Supplier Part, the Seller shall, if so requested by the Buyer, reasonably assist the Buyer in pursuing any warranty claim the Buyer may have against the Supplier of such Supplier Part.

 

12.4.4 Joint Responsibility

If the Interface Problem is attributable partially to the design of a Warranted Part and partially to the design of any Supplier Part, the Seller shall, if so requested by the Buyer and without charge to the Buyer, use reasonable commercial efforts to provide a solution to the Interface Problem through cooperative efforts of the Seller and any Supplier involved.

The Seller shall promptly advise the Buyer of such corrective action as may be proposed by the Seller and any such Supplier. Such proposal shall be consistent with any then existing obligations of the Seller hereunder and of any such Supplier towards the Buyer. Such corrective action shall constitute full satisfaction of any claim the Buyer may have against either the Seller or any such Supplier with respect to such Interface Problem unless (i) reasonably rejected by the Buyer in which case Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to determine an alternative corrective action taking into consideration the reasons for Buyer’s rejection or (ii) such corrective action fails to resolve the Interface Problem.

AIRMAN SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE SERVICES

 

1. Corrective Maintenance

Corrective Maintenance means the processing of problems or functionality issues (“Incidents”) relating to the use of Airman or Technical eLogbook (the “Software”). Incidents shall be classified as follows:

Critical

The Buyer cannot move forward with the Software until the issue is resolved or significant aspects of the operations are impacted, which makes the Software either non operational or operational but severely impaired or restricted.

The incident has a critical impact on the Buyer’s activity.

No timely and cost effective workaround is available.

Examples include but are not limited to system or application crash, data loss or corruption.

High

A major functional problem forces the application to run under degraded modes and performances.

A timely and cost effective workaround is available but is not practical for long term or permanent use.

Medium

The Buyer requires information or assistance on the usage of the Software. The Buyer submits an evolution request or a defect report describing a problem that does not significantly affect the usage of the Software.

The Buyer reports an incident that does not significantly affect the Buyer’s activity.

Both parties agree to the following response times:
