1) A support request is any request made by the licensee and/or his representatives to REDDOXX with regard to the supported products and which is supposed to lead to the solution of a problem. It is irrelevant whether the solution of a problem can be brought about through the processing of the support request, the licensee has to make an investment due to a consultation and/or planning by REDDOXX or a planning or consultation fails to achieve the desired result of the licensee.
2) In case of doubt, the licensee always has the burden of proof about the receipt of the support request by REDDOXX.

a) Software serial number of the REDDOXX Appliance
b) Exact description of the problem (possibly together with documentation or other information).

In place of the ineffective contractual provisions or to fill the gap, an appropriate provision shall apply which, as far as legally possible, comes as close as possible to what the contracting parties would have wanted if they had considered this point.
