The Professional Agreement is designed and optimized for installations managing approximately one thousand (1000) network devices or fewer. For the purpose of this Agreement, a "network device" shall refer to any individual piece of network hardware that is managed, monitored, or configured using the rConfig software.
It is recognized that certain installations may fluctuate above this number due to the dynamic nature of network environments. While the Professional Agreement does not impose a hard ceiling on the number of managed devices, rConfig advises that installations managing a number of devices significantly exceeding this guideline may not experience the optimal performance and may not be able to take full advantage of the support and maintenance services offered under the Professional Agreement.
For installations that consistently manage more than one thousand (1000) network devices, or for those that require advanced support, customization, or enhanced performance capabilities, rConfig strongly recommends transitioning to an Enterprise Agreement. The Enterprise Agreement is tailored to accommodate larger installations and provides a higher level of support, customization options, and dedicated resources to ensure the software meets the specific needs of the organization.
Companies operating above the advised capacity are encouraged to contact rConfig to discuss how an Enterprise Agreement can better serve their needs. rConfig reserves the right to assess and recommend an appropriate agreement level for customers based on the scale and requirements of their installation.
This guidance is intended to ensure that all customers receive the most effective and efficient use of the rConfig software, aligned with their specific network management needs.
The Technical Support and Maintenance Terms and Conditions, which are incorporated by reference, apply if Company has purchased Support. After the Support Period or service subscription period specified in the applicable invoice has expired, Company has no further rights to receive any Support including Upgrades, Updates and telephone Support. rConfig may change the Support offered at any time, effective as of the commencement of any Support renewal period. The software may continue to be used beyond a support period under these terms in perpetuity.
4.1 Fair Use Policy for Support Requests: To ensure the equitable distribution of support resources among all our customers, rConfig adopts a fair use policy for support requests. Customers are encouraged to make reasonable use of support services. Excessive use of support services, as determined by rConfig in its sole discretion, may result in the customer being advised to seek a higher level of support package or an enterprise agreement for more dedicated support resources.
4.2 SLA for Support Requests: rConfig is committed to providing timely and effective support to its customers. For Professional Agreement holders, our support request SLA includes:
4.3 rConfig reserves the right to change the Support Policy at any time.

4.5 Modification and Customization: Under the Professional Agreement, any modification, customization, or alteration of the software or its dependencies is strictly prohibited. rConfig is designed to operate as delivered by rConfig without any modifications. Customization or modification of the software or its dependencies may lead to issues that fall outside the scope of standard support services.
Customers seeking to customize or modify the software or its dependencies must enter into an Enterprise Agreement, which covers such customizations under specific terms and conditions, including support and maintenance for the customized software.
4.6 rConfig reserves the right to refuse support for issues that arise from any unauthorized modifications or customizations.
5.1 Without prejudice to Company’s payment obligations, Company may terminate Company’s license at any time by uninstalling the Software.

All payment obligations are non-cancelable and non-refundable. If Company considers an invoice is incorrect, Company must contact rConfig in writing within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice to request an adjustment or credit.
6.2 Transaction Taxes: If Company purchases the rConfig Products directly from rConfig for use or resale, Company will pay all applicable transaction taxes, including sales and use taxes, value added taxes, duties, customs, tariffs, and other government-imposed transactional charges however designated (and any related interest or penalty) on amounts payable by Company under this Agreement (Transaction Taxes). rConfig will separately state on its invoices the Transaction Taxes that rConfig is required to collect from Company under applicable law. Company will provide proof of any exemption from Transaction Taxes to rConfig at least fifteen (15) Business Days before the due date for paying an invoice. If rConfig does not collect the required Transaction Taxes from Company but is subsequently required to remit the Transaction Taxes to any taxing authority, Company will promptly reimburse rConfig for the Transaction Taxes, including any accrued penalty or interest charges if the failure to timely collect and remit was not due to the fault of rConfig.

6.5 Income Taxes: Each party is responsible for its own income taxes or taxes based on gross revenues or gross receipts.
6.6 Audit: rConfig may request, and Company must provide within thirty (30) days from the request date, a Software-facilitated system-generated report ( System Report) verifying Company’s Software deployment. Company acknowledges that the System Report is based on technological features of the Software that provide Software deployment verification. If the Software does not contain technological features that provide Software deployment verification, Company will prepare and provide to rConfig an accurate Software deployment verification report for the Software within thirty (30) days from rConfig’s request. rConfig will only request the System Report (or Company’s prepared Software deployment verification report) once per year and will not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Company’s business. If a System Report or Company’s prepared Software deployment verification report identifies that Company is out of compliance with the license terms of this Agreement, Company will be required to purchase the additional licenses and pay any reinstatement fees associated with the licenses and Support. rConfig may also charge an out-of-compliance fee.
