This Service Descripon Document (“SDD”) describes the Juniper Custom Soware
Support Service (“Services”) that Juniper makes available for purchase by end users
of Juniper products (“End User”) directly or through its authorized resellers and
distributors. The Services provide annual support for “Custom Soware,” which is
dened as a soware-based soluon that has been designed, developed, and tested
by Juniper Networks® Professional Services and delivered as a specic project
deliverable that is part of a Statement of Work (SOW).
The Services are subject to the terms of this SDD and of the Juniper Networks End
User Support Agreement (a copy of which is posted at www.juniper.net/support/
guidelines.html), or another wrien master services agreement signed by Juniper
Networks and the End User and covering, within its scope, the terms and condions
under which Juniper will render support and maintenance services (herein, the “End
User Services Agreement” or “EUSA”).
All license terms for the Custom Soware provided by Juniper as part of the
Services are subject to the Juniper Networks Script Soware License Agreement, a
copy of which is posted at hps://www.juniper.net/support/legal/scriptlicense/ (or
another wrien master license agreement signed by Juniper and the End User and
covering, within its scope, the terms and condions under which Juniper will provide
soware and soware updates and releases).
In the event of any conict between the terms of this SDD and those of the EUSA
or Juniper Networks Script Soware License Agreement, the terms of the EUSA and
Juniper Networks Script Soware License Agreement shall take precedence. Unless
otherwise stated in this SDD, capitalized terms used in this SDD will be as dened
in the EUSA.

solely for their own internal use and (ii) by Juniper authorized resellers or by

Custom Soware Support Service
Services Features and Deliverable Descripon
Juniper will use commercially reasonable eorts to provide
the End User with the Services. The Services comprise access
to Juniper Technical Support engineers who will diagnose a
Custom Soware issue or outage and restore the applicaon
back to working order.
The Services as described in this document are an annual
maintenance contract that can be renewed each year, and
are only applicable to custom soware developed by Juniper
Professional Services. The Services include break-x work only
and soware patches and updates.
JTAC Access
With Juniper Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) support, the
End User will have unlimited access to JTAC engineers by
phone and online 24/7/365. JTAC Technical Support engineers
will diagnose a custom soware issue or outage and restore
the applicaon back to working order, generate workaround
soluons using reasonable commercial eorts, or provide a x
to a discovered defect. Automac escalaon alerts to senior
management are triggered on all priority issues. Customers will
be noed of the availability of a patch or update by JTAC.
For details on JTAC support center structure, how to access
JTAC support, JTAC response me guidelines, problem reporng
and escalaon procedure, case workow, and customer
communicaon guidelines, please refer to the JTAC User Guide.
Online Support
During the term of the Juniper Service Contract, Juniper
provides End User with self-service access to the Juniper
Customer Service Center (CSC) online portal, which provides
informaon, answers, tools, and service opons for the End
User’s use in supporng supported Juniper product. Oerings
include, but are not limited to:
Online case management: Create new cases, check
the status of exisng cases, update cases with new
informaon, search by case numbers, and search by End
User’s own internal case reference numbers.
Soware Patches and Soware Updates
During the term of the Juniper Service Contract, soware
patches and soware updates for the End User Soware are
included, if necessary, to restore system funconality and are
ed to the specic code release that the End User accepted.
End Users will be noed of the availability of a patch or update
by JTAC.
Soware Patch means minor modicaons to the Custom
Soware to address a specic problem and help restore the
system.
Soware Update means a release to the Custom Soware or
its underlying component parts (such as a soware library)
comprising primarily error correcons (a collecon of soware
patches) to the Custom Soware, somemes also referred to
as “maintenance releases.” Soware Updates do not typically
include any new or addional features beyond what was
provided in the latest available Soware Upgrade.
Please note that a custom soware upgrade or enhancement
is not included, but can be purchased separately from Juniper
Professional Services. A Soware Upgrade means a release
of the supported soware that may contain new features or
enhanced funconality.
Please note that a Juniper Networks Junos® operang system
upgrade or enhancement is not included, but can be purchased
separately from Juniper Professional Services.

not obligated to provide the Services.
End User Responsibilies
The End User will provide Juniper or its authorized service
representave with access to the aected network
environment, and will assign a technical contact for
Juniper.
Furthermore, if Juniper determines that its technical
personnel need access to the End User’s network in order
to remotely diagnose a problem, End User will ensure that
Juniper personnel have the necessary level of authorized
access to such network. The End User has the right to
observe such access.
The End User will implement any Soware Patches and/or
Soware Updates as directed by JTAC sta and/or Juniper
Professional Services sta.

due to modicaons not authorized by Juniper at Juniper’s
then prevailing rates for me and materials.
The End User shall inform Juniper about any role changes
or the resignaon of its support engineers so that their
