    3. Support Response Times.  Panopto will use commercially reasonable efforts to address Errors based on Priority Code in accordance with the table below. For clarity, all target timeframes set forth in the table below shall be deemed to be timeframes during Normal Working Hours except as otherwise expressly provided in this SLA. 
      • Priority Code: P1 (High)
        Target Service Ticket Generation Time: 30 minutes
        Target Response Time: 4 hours

        1. For Customers that purchase the Standard Service Plan, any Support Services requested outside of Normal Working Hours will be queued for the next business day. 
        2. Customers that purchase the Emerald Service Plan or purchase 24×7 on-call Support Services (“24×7 On-Call Support”) on a standalone basis, as specified in the relevant Order Form, will receive 24×7 On-Call Support in respect of Target Service Ticket Time Generation and Target Response Time.  24×7 On-Call-Support is available to all Authorized Users of Emerald Customers and standalone 24×7 Support Customers, but will only address issues typical of an End User (and not a system administrator with P1 or P2 questions). If such issue cannot be resolved by 24×7 On-Call Support, then such issue will be escalated to Panopto. 
      • Contact; Support Personnel.
        1. Contact. Whenever Customer requires Support Services, Customer’s Authorized Support Contacts should submit an Error notification to Panopto via support.panotpo.com.  
        2. Support Personnel. Panopto will assign support personnel responsible for providing Support Services to its customers generally. In addition, if, pursuant to an Order Form, Customer is entitled to 24×7 On-Call Support, 24×7 On-Call-Support will be provided to Customer by a third-party service provider and not Panopto, and Customer expressly consents to Panopto’s use of third-party service providers to provide such 24×7 On-Call Support. Panopto works with such third-party service provider to ensure that 24×7 On-Call Support is provided in a professional and workmanlike manner but does not assume liability to Customer for such 24×7 On-Call Support. For clarity, all Support Services delivered by Panopto and/or its third-party service providers will be in the English language.
      • Updates. During the Subscription Term, Panopto will provide or install Updates if and when they are made generally commercially available by Panopto to its customers. 
      • Scope; Out-of-Scope Services.
        1. Scope. Panopto has no obligation to correct Errors or support queries arising from (i) use of the Technology Services other than in the accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, including the Acceptable Use Policy; (ii) Customer’s use of incompatible data or systems; (iii) Customer’s incorrect configuration of or integration with the Technology Services. If Panopto, in its sole discretion, elects to address Errors or other problems, then Panopto may handle such Errors under a professional services arrangement at Panopto’s then-current rates, or such other rates as may be agreed in writing with Customer, and otherwise on a reasonable efforts, as-is basis. Panopto is not required to configure or assist with migrations to or from the Technology Services as part of the Support Services. Panopto is not required to provide the Support Services if Customer is in breach of its obligations under the Agreement.
        2. Out-of-Scope Services. Customer may, from time to time, request assistance from Panopto for services that are outside the scope of the Support Services. Panopto may make resources available for mutually agreeable time periods to provide such assistance under a professional services arrangement at Panopto’s then-current rates, or such other rates as may be agreed in writing with Customer.
