Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Customer enters into an Order Form with an authorized reseller of Lightbend, the payment terms set forth on such Order Form shall apply in lieu of the terms of this Section 3.

4                Confidentiality.

2.     Support Level. The scope of Support Services provided under this Agreement is subject to: (a) the subscription level selected by Customer; and (b) the Support Policies displayed on the Lightbend support portal for the applicable support level, as updated by Lightbend from time to time.
