- Support and Escalation Process. Partner agrees to provide timely and professional Tier 1 support to End Customers and to remain actively engaged throughout the lifecycle of all reported issues, including after escalation to ArmorPoint. At a minimum, Partner shall:
- Tier 1 Support Requirements
- Receive, acknowledge, and log all service issues and support requests from End Customers;
- Conduct initial triage to determine whether the issue results from Partner-side misconfiguration, customer misuse, unrelated systems, third-party involvement, or any cause not attributable to ArmorPoint;
- Attempt to reproduce the issue and verify whether it is documented in ArmorPoint’s Knowledge Base, service bulletins, or other published support resources;
- Where a known resolution exists, relay the guidance to the End Customer and support them through implementation;
- For unresolved or unknown issues, isolate the behavior, collect relevant data and diagnostic information, research potential workarounds, and confirm the End Customer’s environment is running currently supported versions of all required software or platform components.
- ArmorPoint reserves the right to reclassify ticket severity upon triage, and Partner agrees to remain engaged in diagnostics and follow-up as requested.
- Support Escalation to ArmorPoint. If Partner is unable to resolve an issue through its Tier 1 support process, the issue may be escalated to ArmorPoint in accordance with this Addendum. Prior to escalation, Partner must:
- Confirm the issue cannot be resolved using Partner’s Tier 1 process;
- Replicate the problem where possible;
- Verify it is not a known issue already documented by ArmorPoint; and
- Collect and submit all relevant supporting data, logs, and error details.
- Escalation is appropriate when:
- The Partner lacks the technical capability to resolve the issue;
- The issue materially impacts the End Customer’s business operations;
- The issue involves a confirmed or suspected security incident; or
- The ArmorPoint Service is wholly or partially unavailable.
- Tier 1 Support Requirements
- Joint Ticket, Alert, and Incident Management. Submitting or escalating a ticket to ArmorPoint does not relieve Partner of its responsibility to manage the End Customer experience. Partner must continue necessary communications with the End Customer and perform required remediation in coordination with ArmorPoint. If Partner fails to provide timely, professional, or complete support, ArmorPoint may intervene directly with the End Customer at its sole discretion. For alerts or incidents generated by the ArmorPoint platform or reported by the End Customer, Partner shall:
- Monitor and triage assigned alerts using the ArmorPoint platform;
- Determine whether each alert is a true positive, false positive, or informational event;
- Communicate high-severity or time-sensitive findings to the End Customer in accordance with agreed protocols;
- Participate in related incident response efforts led by ArmorPoint; and
- Ensure partner-led remediation or containment activities are completed promptly and professionally.
- Service Restoration Priority. For issues impacting service availability, data access, or alert fidelity, Partner shall first check armorpoint.com/status to determine whether there is a known or ongoing system incident that aligns with the symptoms observed. If no relevant status is posted and the issue persists, Partner shall notify ArmorPoint within one (1) hour of initial detection. Restoration efforts will take priority over all other technical matters until functionality is restored or a temporary workaround is implemented.
- Cancellations and Financial Obligations
- Notification of Cancellation. In the event an End Customer intends to terminate their Service Contract, Partner must submit a completed Service Cancellation Notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the contract end date.
- Debrief. Partner will participate in a cancellation debrief or retention call upon ArmorPoint's request and is responsible for submitting all offboarding documentation required by ArmorPoint.
- Partner Financial Obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Partner shall remain fully financially responsible to ArmorPoint for the Total Contract Value of each End Customer agreement, regardless of whether the End Customer elects to cancel, reduce scope, or discontinue use of the ArmorPoint Service prior to the contract end date. Partner agrees that early termination by an End Customer shall not relieve Partner of its financial obligations under this Agreement, and Partner shall continue to remit payments as invoiced for the duration of the initial or renewal term as applicable.

- Payment Method and Authorization: By signing the Agreement, and by extension acknowledging and accepting all incorporated Addendums, Appendices, and Exhibits, Partner authorizes ArmorPoint to charge the credit card or other payment method on file for any amounts due under the Partner’s Service Contracts, including but not limited to obligations arising under any End Customer agreements for which the Partner is contractually responsible.
- Accepted Payment Methods: All payments owed to ArmorPoint under this Appendix must be made by ArmorPoint-initiated credit card or by electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) using Partner’s ACH information. Partner is required to maintain current payment credentials on file with ArmorPoint at all times.
- Rejected Transactions: A $25.00 processing fee will apply to any EFT transaction that is rejected. The fee, along with the unpaid balance, may be charged to the credit card on file.
- Updating Information: If the payment method becomes invalid, Partner must promptly supply updated payment details upon request via the ArmorPoint Billing Portal or by contacting the ArmorPoint accounting department at [email protected].

Persistent payment issues may result in temporary suspension of discount eligibility or tier downgrade.

ArmorPoint bears no responsibility for tax compliance related to the resale of its services by the Partner. Partner shall indemnify and hold ArmorPoint harmless for any liability arising from Partner’s failure to comply with tax obligations related to resale transactions.
- Service Provider Discounts. All Service Provider discounts and the corresponding eligibility requirements are specified in the Service Provider Discount Tiers Appendix, which is incorporated by reference into this document. All Partner Tier assignments and re-evaluations are governed by the terms set forth in Section 5 of this Appendix.
- Partner Tier Management
- Initial Tier Assignment. Upon execution of the Agreement, all Partners will be assigned the Silver Partner Tier by default. This Tier will remain in effect until the next annual evaluation period or until the Partner submits a written request and qualifies for a mid-year promotion in accordance with Section 5.3.
- Annual Tier Review. Partner Tiers are re-evaluated annually based on the Partner’s Active Billed ARR as of the last day of the calendar year. If a Partner fails to meet the ARR threshold required to maintain their current Tier, their Tier will be downgraded for the following calendar year. ArmorPoint will issue updated Tier status notices no later than January 31of each calendar year, with changes taking effect on February 1. The Partner must meet or exceed the applicable Tier threshold to maintain or regain their status for future quotes, renewals, and commercial terms.
- Mid-Year Tier Promotion. If a Partner believes they have met the eligibility threshold for a higher Partner Tier (e.g., from Silver to Platinum) based on their Active Billed ARR, they may submit a written request to ArmorPoint for a mid-year promotion review. Upon receipt, ArmorPoint will validate current billing data and, at its sole discretion, may approve a Tier upgrade. If granted, the upgraded discount level will apply to:
- All deals transacted from the date of approval forward; and
- All deals sold in the subsequent calendar year, regardless of ARR at that time.
- Partner Tiers may only be upgraded mid-year. Tiers will not be downgraded mid-year based on updated ARR data alone. A Tier downgrade may only occur as part of the Annual Tier Review described in Section 5.2 or as a result of enforcement actions set forth in this or any related agreement.
- Eligibility Disputes. The Partner must notify ArmorPoint in writing of any discrepancies related to sales credit or ARR tracking within thirty (30) days of the applicable report or status notification. After this period, recorded results will be considered final and binding.
- Pricing Before and After Tier Changes. Pricing for deals is determined by the Partner's Tier at the time a quote is generated and is not subject to retroactive adjustment. All quotes and order forms issued after the effective date of a Tier change will reflect the new discount level. The new pricing will only apply to transactions issued after the Tier change has been confirmed by ArmorPoint. Once a deal is closed and processed by ArmorPoint, its pricing is considered final.
- Re-Quoted Opportunities. If a previously issued quote has not yet been executed and is re-quoted after a Tier change, the Partner may request revised pricing aligned with their new Tier. ArmorPoint reserves the right to determine whether the deal qualifies for re-quoting and may require updated approval or justification in accordance with current quoting policy.
