    End of Life (EOL) and End of Service (EOS) Descriptions

    Forum Systems may find it necessary to discontinue hardware and virtual image platforms for a number of reasons, including technology enhancements, upgrades and offering customers the same quality/higher performance products at the same or lower price or when key components are no longer available. When a hardware product or Virtual Image product reaches its end of life (EOL), Forum Systems is committed to communicating important milestones throughout the EOL period, including the initial EOL notification, End of Sale (EOS) for product, End of Support (EOST) milestone dates, as well as other key information pertaining to the Forum Systems hardware or virtual image products. Forum Systems will provide the next generation hardware or virtual image solution in advance of the EOS notification date to  ensure our customers can establish a migration plan for a legacy hardware or virtual images. Any products being discontinued will be announced as End of Sale and identified as such on the price list for up to six calendar months prior to the discontinuation and end of sale date also known as the last order date. On the end of sale date, discontinued products are removed from the price list and are no longer available for purchase. Support for discontinued products will only be provided to customers who purchased a maintenance contract, or converted their new product warranty coverage to a maintenance contract prior to the expiration of the standard warranty. If the discontinued product is not available for replacement or repair during the final year of the EOS period, Forum Systems reserves the right to satisfy the support requirement by replacing the discontinued product with functionally equivalent hardware or virtual image.
