Process

Introduction and General Philosophy

This page outlines the process by which Meraki coordinates and delivers its technical support responses to its customers. All processes outlined throughout this page apply to all Cisco Meraki products. Cisco Meraki's general philosophy is to:

  • Provide the highest quality and fastest possible support directly to Cisco Meraki customers.
  • Deliver customer satisfaction; internally, the Cisco Meraki support team is evaluated on their customer satisfaction metrics and are responsible for delivering consistent measured customer satisfaction.
  • Ensure Cisco Meraki authorized resellers are properly supported during field installations and troubleshooting activities, assuming the support request is in regards to a currently licensed Meraki product.
  • Effectively track and coordinate customer interactions and support activities.

Meraki Support Paradigm

  • All customers have an explicit support owner at all times. Normally this is a Cisco Meraki support team member; however, during pre-sales product it could be a Cisco Meraki Systems Engineer, VAR, or other field sales resource.
  • All legitimate support requests are the responsibility of Cisco Meraki Support until closure, unless there is explicit agreement between Meraki Support and the customer to transfer management of the case to another party.
  • Unless discussed and agreed to by Cisco Meraki Support, all customer support communication flows through the Cisco Meraki Support Team. This ensures:
    • Proper case management and recording
    • Proper follow up is achieved throughout case lifecycle
  • Customer satisfaction is the responsibility of the Cisco Meraki Support Team. If a case is reassigned to another Meraki resource, or a Cisco Meraki authorized reseller, Cisco Meraki reserves the right to expect timely response from that party or Merkai Support may to intervene to ensure customer satisfaction.

Privacy

The Cisco Meraki cloud management platform provides Support engineers with rich visibility into customer networks, resulting in faster diagnosis and resolution of cases. Our policies, outlined below, ensure that customer information is only accessed with prior consent, for the purposes of resolving a support case.

  • Support will not view customers' network configuration without prior consent
  • Support will not modify customers' network without prior consent
  • On rare occasions, support may view network status without prior notice to identify and diagnose system-wide issues. In these cases, network configuration information, including security settings and policies, will not be accessed.
  • Customers may remove Support's access to a network entirely by selecting "Prevent Meraki support from viewing this organization" in the Dashboard, under Settings / Privacy. Once checked, Support will not be able to access any aspect of the network. Customers will need to uncheck this box if technical assistance is required.

Hours and SLAs

Hours of Operation

Hours of operation are established in Schedule B of the License Agreement:

  • Standard Support: Support is provided on weekdays between the hours of midnight to 6:00 PM Pacific Time, excluding Cisco Meraki holidays.
  • Emergency Support: Support is provided twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week for network wide outages. The SLA for emergency support response is 15 minutes. Emergency Support is offered exclusively via telephone.

Priority Levels

Priority levels are laid out as follows in the license agreement:

  • Priority 1 — Major Impact: The network is inoperable or the performance of the network is so severely reduced that Licensee cannot reasonably continue to operate the network because of the Error and the Error cannot be circumvented with a Workaround.
  • Priority 2 — Moderate Impact: The network’s performance is significantly degraded such that Licensee’s Use of the network as permitted is materially impaired, but the Error can be circumvented with a Workaround.
  • Priority 3 — Minor Impact: Licensee is experiencing a performance, operational, or functional Error that can be circumvented with a Workaround and the Error causes only minimal impact to the Licensee’s ability to Use the network as authorized.
  • Priority 4 — General Questions: There is no issue with network performance or operation. These include standard questions on network configuration or functionality, network enhancement requests, or documentation clarification.

Case Escalations

Introduction and Guidelines for Escalation

In the event a case requires escalation, the following process will be followed to ensure timely issue resolution.

Generally, escalations are major issues that require notification and/or intervention by key portions of the company including Support, Engineering, and Sales Engineering.

Escalation Triggers

A case may be escalated based on any of the following criteria:

  • Recommendation by Cisco Meraki personnel including
    • Technical Support Engineer
    • Systems Engineer
    • Cisco Meraki Management
  • Response time: failure to provide response or resolution within the timeframes described in the service level section above may generate an escalation.
  • Issue severity: system outage automatically generates an escalation. Other severe product issues may generate an escalation at the discretion of Cisco Meraki personnel listed above.
  • Customer satisfaction related matters: failure to fully satisfy the customer may generate a case escalation
    • Notification list and notification methodology

      In the event that a case is escalated, the following persons will be notified and kept apprised of the issue until de-escalation:

      Tier 1

      • The Customer
      • Customer’s Account Representative
      • Customer’s Systems Engineer
      • Techical Support Engineer owning the case

      Tier 2

      • Director of Services
      • Engineer owning any associated bug/feature

      Tier 3

      • V.P. of Sales
      • V.P. of Engineering
      • V.P. of Product Management

      Escalation Actions

      • The team above is notified of the escalation in order of severity.
      • If fully escalated, Director of Services takes ownership of issue until resolution.
      • Assemble appropriate team from persons listed above to assess the issue and develop a resolution plan, and communicate plan to the customer:
        • Specific actions to be taken in order to resolve the issue
        • Issue owners
        • Due date/time for each action
        • Explicit agreement from engineering management for resources to perform engineering tasks
        • Decision on whether or not to dispatch on site service
        • Decision on the next escalation meeting
        • Decision to de-escalate
      • Plan is agreed upon and executed
      • Case is resolved and customer is informed

Warranty Returns (RMA)

  • To comply with best practices, all RMA requests should only be processed after a technical support case has been opened and proper troubleshooting has taken place.
  • Products covered by the Cisco Meraki lifetime warranty are eligible for advance replacement. Advance replacement orders will ship within 1 business day. All Cisco Meraki hardware products come with either a one-year or lifetime warranty, as specified on the relevant Cisco Meraki data sheet.
  • In the event a customer RMA request is approved, Cisco Meraki will email an RMA number and a return shipping label free of charge. Any replacement unit will ship within five business days of receiving defective units as stock allows. If no defect is found, the RMA request will be rejected and the customer will be notified.

Policies

Product End-of-Life (EOL) Policy

Meraki, Inc. may find it necessary to discontinue products for a number of reasons, including product line enhancements, market demands, technology innovation or the products simply mature over time and are replaced by functionally richer products. We have set our end-of-life policy to help customers better manage their product end-of-life transition.

When a product reaches EOL, Meraki is committed to communicating important milestones throughout the EOL period.  These notifications shall include the initial EOL notification, End of Sale (EOS) announcement and End of Support (EOST) dates, as well as other key information pertaining to Meraki, Inc. products.

Any products being discontinued will be announced as End of Sale and identified on the Cisco Meraki website up to six 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. Cisco Meraki typically provides support for a given product for a period of five (5) years after the End of Sale date.  If the discontinued product is not available for replacement or repair of an in-warranty return, Cisco Meraki reserves the right to replace the discontinued product with functionally equivalent hardware and transfer the remaining license term from the replaced product to the replacement hardware.

Definitions

  • End-of-Sales Announcement: Date of official end-of-sales notice
  • End-of-Sales Date: The last date to order the product through Cisco Meraki point-of-sale outlets.  After this date, the product is no longer for sale via any channel.
  • End-of-Support Date: The last date a product will be supported by Meraki, Inc.

This Policy also describes our use and disclosure of such information. By using our Services, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of information in accordance with this Policy. This Policy is incorporated by reference into the Meraki Terms of Use and the Meraki End Customer Agreement and is subject to the provisions of the Meraki Terms of Use and the Meraki End Customer Agreement. The terms "you," "your," and "user" refer to the user visiting the Website or accessing or using the Services. Other capitalized terms used but not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meanings given to them in the Terms of Use.

Personal Information

"Personal Information," as used in this Policy, is information that specifically identifies an individual, such as an individual's name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address. Personal Information also includes information, such as demographic information (e.g., date of birth, gender, geographic area, and preferences), when any of this information is linked to Personal Information that identifies that individual.

Personal Information does not include "aggregate" or other non-personally identifiable information.

Collection of Information

Collection of Voluntarily-Provided Information

We collect Personal Information that our users provide to us in a variety of ways on our Services. These include the following:

  • E-mail Newsletters. We may offer e-mail newsletters from time to time on our Services. If you sign up to receive a newsletter from us, we collect your e-mail address.

  • User Accounts and Profiles. Our Services may give you the ability to register for an account or to create and update a user profile. If we offer user account or profile functionality on the Services, we will collect the Personal Information that you provide to us in the course of registering for an account or creating or updating a user account or profile.

We may indicate that some Personal Information is required for you to register for the account or to create the profile, while some is optional.

  • Logging into Networks. Certain networks using our Services may require users to establish or use login credentials. In connection with supporting this log-on functionality, we may collect information such as email addresses, telephone numbers, or user or administrator-created usernames, along with user-created or administrator-created passwords, to facilitate such log-on functionality and otherwise to provide our Services.

  • Correspondence. If you contact us by e-mail, using a contact form on the Services, or by other means, we collect the Personal Information contained within, and associated with, your correspondence.

The promotion will state the privacy policy or policies governing the collection of such personal information.

Passive Information Collection

When you use or visit our Services, some information is collected automatically. For example, when you access our Services, we automatically collect your browser’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, your browser type, the nature of the device from which you are visiting the Services (e.g., a personal computer or a mobile device), identifiers for any handheld or mobile device that you may be using, the Web site that you visited immediately prior to accessing any Web-based Services, the actions you take on our Services, and the content, features, and activities that you access and engage with on our Services. We also may collect information regarding your interaction with e-mail messages from Meraki, such as whether you opened, clicked on, or forwarded a message.

We may collect this information passively using technologies such as standard server logs, cookies, and clear GIFs (also known as “Web beacons”). We use passively-collected information to administer, operate, maintain and improve our Services and our other services and systems and to provide content that is tailored to you.

If we link or associate any information gathered through passive means with Personal Information, or if applicable laws require us to treat any information gathered through passive means as Personal Information, we treat the combined information as Personal Information under this Policy. Otherwise, we use and disclose information collected by passive means in aggregate form or otherwise in a non-personally identifiable form.

Please be aware that in the course of your use of the Services, websites or other services provided by third parties ("Third-Party Services"), including, for example, Google Analytics, CloudFlare, Google Remarketing, Marketo, and Adobe TypeKit, may set cookies on your hard drive or use other means of passively collecting information about your use of their Third-Party Services or other services or content. To do this, they may use first-party cookies (which are set by the same domain your browser is receiving data from) or third-party cookies (which are set by a different domain). Meraki also may make non-personally identifiable information available to Third-Party Services, and these Third-Party Services may collect such information, to assist such parties in understanding our users’ activities and usage patterns on the Services. If desired, you may use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to opt-out of having information collected by Google Analytics.

We do not have access to, or control over, the actions of Third-Party Services. Each provider of Third-Party Services uses information that it collects in accordance with its own privacy and security policies.

Additionally, please be aware that Google and other third-party vendors may place or recognize one or more unique cookies on your computer when you use the Services, and may record information to these cookies based upon your activities on our Services and on third-party websites and other Third-Party Services. Google and these other third-party vendors may use information about those activities to inform, optimize, and serve advertisements. In particular, we may use Google and other third-party vendors to engage in “remarketing,” in which advertisements you see on third-party websites and services may be based on your prior visits to our Services.

To learn more about these practices, and to opt-out from Google’s and other vendors’ use of information collected on the Services through cookies for advertising purposes, you may visit Google’s Ads Preferences Manager or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page. Please note that opting-out will not prevent advertisements from being served to you on the Internet; it will only result in advertisements that utilize cookies to serve advertisements on the specified advertising networks from which you opt-out no longer being targeted. We are not responsible for the activities of other parties that may not comply with your opt-out requests.

We also use Google Conversion Tracking, which tracks whether users engage in certain activities (e.g., filling out a form to receive more information about our products or services) after they view one of our advertisements on a Third-Party Service. Google uses cookies to track conversions and to report that information to us.

Finally, please also be aware that we use the Google Maps API as a source of maps, geographic data, and geolocation information for purposes of providing location-based information regarding terminal devices connected to networks managed by our Services and for providing related reporting and analysis. Google may collect information, including personal information, from those who view content provided through the Google Maps API, and Google handles such information in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy.

Network Usage Information Collected by Our Services

Some of our Services collect information from terminal devices connected to networks that are managed by those Services. Those Services also collect information regarding the performance of, and certain other information regarding, such networks. This information includes, for example, MAC address, device type, operating system, geolocation information, and network traffic information (e.g., hostnames, protocols, port numbers, and IP addresses). This information is made available to administrators of networks managed by our Services through an online interface that we call the “dashboard”. Additionally, if a Meraki customer elects to use our device management tool currently known as Systems Manager ("Systems Manager") and installs its software on, or configures the profile of, a mobile device or other device (e.g., a laptop computer) managed by Systems Manager, the customer or Meraki may undertake certain actions on the device, such as the following: (i) list, access, copy, move, and delete files; (ii) track and record device location over time; (iii) take and record screenshots; (iv) manage the device through remote desktop functionality; (v) set and enforce policies; and (vi) install/remove apps. Finally, for devices with Systems Manager installed or devices that utilize Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, we transmit certain geolocation information about those devices and the network(s) on which they are running to Google, which provides us with related geolocation information that we store and make available to network administrators through our dashboard as described above in this paragraph. Google handles the information that we provide to it in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy.

Information from Other Sources

We may receive information about you, including Personal Information, from affiliated and unaffiliated third parties, and may combine this information with other Personal Information we maintain about you. If we do so, this Policy governs any combined information that we maintain in personally identifiable format.

Use of Information

We use Personal Information and other information we collect to do any of the following: provide services to our customers; provide information and otherwise respond to your requests, including sales inquiries, email requests, and shipping requests; enhance, improve, operate, maintain, and debug the Website, our other Services, and our other programs, services, Web sites, and systems; improve the effectiveness of our Website as a marketing tool and optimize the performance of the Website and our other Services; prevent fraudulent use of our Services and other systems; to prevent or take action against activities that are, or may be, in violation of the Meraki End Customer Agreement, the Meraki Terms of Use, or applicable law; to tailor content and other aspects of your experience on and in connection with the Services; maintain a record of our dealings with you; for other administrative purposes; and for any other purposes that we may disclose to you at the point at which we request your Personal Information, and pursuant to your consent.

If you request that we delete your account on any of our Services (via a user settings page, by e-mail, or otherwise), we will do so within a reasonable period of time, but we may need to retain some of your Personal Information in order to satisfy our legal obligations, or where we reasonably believe that we have a legitimate reason to do so.

If we change this Policy in a manner that materially alters your rights or obligations under this Policy, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you of the change. For example, we may send a message to your email address, if we have one on file, or generate a pop-up or similar notification when you access the Service for the first time after such material changes are made. We encourage you to periodically review this Policy to stay informed about how we collect, use, and disclose Personal Information.

ARTICLE 6    TERM AND TERMINATION

6.1. Term. This Agreement will be effective with respect to your use of the Products until the expiration of the License(s) applicable to the Products you are using, unless earlier terminated under Section 6.2. To the extent that you purchase additional Hosted Software License(s) subsequent to the date of the first Order, the duration of each Hosted Software License you have purchased will be adjusted such that all of your Hosted Software Licenses terminate on the same date. The co-termination date is calculated by Meraki's system as a function of the dollar value per day of each license purchased, calculated by dividing the then-current list price of each license by a one-year period of 365 days (the "Meraki Dollar Days per Year" of each license). The total number of these Meraki Dollar Days purchased by the End Customer is determined by (i) multiplying the Meraki Dollar Days per Year for each license purchased by the number of years of each such license (as specified in the applicable SKU number) (such product, the "Total License Dollar Days") and then (ii) adding together the Total License Dollar Days for all licenses purchased by the End Customer (such sum, the "Aggregate Dollar Days"). The Aggregate Dollar Days is then divided by the sum of the Meraki Dollar Days per Year of all license purchased by the End Customer in order to obtain the number of days remaining prior to the co-termination date. The co-termination date is recalculated each time the End Customer purchases a new Hosted Software License. For further information regarding our licensing and co-termination policies please visit https://docs.meraki.com/display/kb/Meraki+Licensing+FAQ

6.2. Termination.  Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason effective upon 30 days prior written notice. Meraki may immediately suspend your use of the Products at any time if Meraki reasonably believes that you have breached the terms of ARTICLE 3, ARTICLE 4, or Sections 5.4 or 9.1. If such breach by you remains uncured for five days following receipt of notice from Meraki, then Meraki may terminate this Agreement effective immediately. You may terminate this Agreement for cause if we breach any material obligation of ours under this Agreement and fail to cure such breach within 10 business days of our receipt of written notice from you of such breach. If Meraki terminates this Agreement for convenience, or if you terminate this Agreement for cause, then in either case you will receive a refund of the amount you paid for the Hosted Software License allocable to the remaining Term.

6.3. Effect of Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, your access to and right to use the Products will terminate, and all Licenses will terminate. Upon expiration of a Hosted Software License, your Apps License will survive and you may continue to access and use the Web Apps and Mobile Apps, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, each party will return (or destroy) any Confidential Information of the other party in its possession. The following provisions of this Agreement will survive any termination of the Agreement: Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 6.3, 7.5, 7.6, and ARTICLE 9.

ARTICLE 7    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; DISCLAIMER; REMEDIES

7.1. Mutual Warranties.  Each party hereby represents and warrants to the other that it has all necessary corporate power and authority to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.2. Service Warranties. Meraki will make reasonable efforts to provide the Hosted Software and Web Apps available in accordance with the service level warranty set forth in the Service Level Agreement (the "Service Level Warranty"), subject to the terms and conditions of the Service Level Agreement.

7.3. Hardware Warranties. We represent and warrant to you, the individual or entity who obtained the Hardware from Meraki or its authorized reseller, but not to any End Users or other third parties, as follows: (i) for the Warranty Period the Hardware will be free from material defects in materials and workmanship; (ii) all items of Hardware are new or refurbished unless otherwise indicated on the face of the Order; and (iii) we have good title to the Hardware, free and clear of any liens, claims, or encumbrances. Hardware not meeting the warranties set forth above will be, at our option, (a) repaired, (b) replaced, or (c) Meraki will refund to you the depreciated amount of the Purchase Price allocable to the defective Hardware, calculated on a straight-line, five-year basis. All Hardware repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the Warranty Period. For any return permitted under Meraki’s then-current return policy as (available at http://www.meraki.com/support/#policies:return), you will request a Return Materials Authorization ("RMA") number in writing with the reasons for the return request. The remedies described above are our sole liability and your sole remedy for any breach of the warranties contained in this Section 7.3. Meraki is not responsible for any Customer Content or any other non-Meraki data or information stored on any Hardware returned to Meraki for repair, whether under warranty or not.

7.4. Exclusions. Meraki has no obligation with respect to defects caused by or resulting from any of the following: (i) installation or use of third party software on or in the Hardware; (ii) modifications or repairs to the Hardware or Software made by you or any third party; (iii) damage or defects resulting from misuse, accident, neglect, abuse, failure of electrical power, adverse environmental conditions, unusual electrical or physical stress, catastrophe, negligence, improper storage, testing, or connection, or other improper treatment; (iv) your use or operation of the Hardware or Software other than as detailed in the Specifications; (v) misconfiguration of the Hardware or Software; or (vi) any other causes beyond Meraki’s reasonable control.

7.5. Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3, MERAKI DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR TITLE, AND CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THE PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” MERAKI MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE PRODUCTS WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT USE OF THE PRODUCTS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; NOR DOES MERAKI MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE ACCURACY OR RELIABILITY OF ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED BY MEANS OF THE PRODUCTS, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS IN THE PRODUCTS WILL BE CORRECTED. FURTHER, MERAKI DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PRODUCTS OR THE MERAKI SERVERS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. MERAKI ALSO ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY, AND IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES TO, OR VIRUSES THAT MAY INFECT, CUSTOMER’S HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, OR OTHER MATERIALS. Because some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion of implied warranties, portions of this section may not apply to Customer.

7.6. Exclusion and Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL MERAKI OR ITS SUPPLIERS OR DISTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE PRODUCTS OR USE OF THE PRODUCTS THROUGH CUSTOMER’S ACCOUNT BY ANYONE ELSE, EVEN IF MERAKI HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL MERAKI’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER AND ANYONE WHO USES THE SERVICE THROUGH CUSTOMER’S ACCOUNT, FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS UNDER ANY THEORY OF LAW OR EQUITY, EXCEED THE AGGREGATE PURCHASE PRICE ACROSS ALL ORDERS SUBMITTED BY CUSTOMER. CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS THAT THESE LIMITATIONS OF MERAKI’S AND MERAKI’S SUPPLIERS’ AND DISTRIBUTORS’ LIABILITY ARE A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. The provisions of this Section 7.6 allocate risks under this Agreement between Meraki and Customer. Meraki’s pricing of the Products reflects this allocation of risks and limitation of liability. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to Customer, in which case Meraki’s liabilities will be limited to the maximum extent allowed by law.

ARTICLE 8    INDEMNITY

Customer will defend, indemnify, and hold Meraki, its affiliates, and their employees, officers, directors, successors, assigns, agents, and customers harmless from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of or in connection with any and all claims, demands, actions, or proceedings brought by a third party to the extent based upon: (i) any grossly negligent, reckless, or intentionally wrongful act of Customer or Customer’s assistants, employees, agents, or End Users; (ii) Customer’s or its End Users’ misuse of the Products or breach of this Agreement; or (iii) Customer’s unauthorized modification or alteration of the Hardware or Software, including any modification or alteration in violation of Sections 3.6 and 4.2, above; (iv) Customer’s combination of the Hardware or Software with other products, software, or services not supplied or specified by Meraki; and (v) Customer’s continued use of the Hardware or Software without implementation within a reasonable time period of modifications provided by Meraki.

If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such portion will be deemed to be of no force or effect, and this Agreement will be construed as if such portion had not been included herein. If the deletion of such provision materially impairs the commercial value of this Agreement, then Meraki and Customer will attempt to renegotiate such provision in good faith.
