VERIFONE SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE PROGRAMWhat is Annual Software Maintenance?

Every year, VeriFone makes a significant investment in our Point of Sale software applications to deliver valuable enhancements and the most feature-rich applications available in our industry. This ongoing investment helps VeriFone customers succeed in this highly competitive petroleum retail

industry by delivering additional value and helping to reduce your operational expenses. In addition, the PCI Data Security Standard initiative requires VeriFone to certify our payment applications annually. This program also ensures that our customers POS systems, Payment devices and Smart fuel Solutions operate on the most up-to-date software version, which further streamlines the customer service and support process. It is important that you update your software to the latest version in order for your locations to also be PCI Compliant and this program is intended to help you do that.

How does the program work?Each VeriFone customer will receive a notice for the opportunity to purchase Annual software Maintenance which includes 24x7 Help Desk support. VeriFone typically releases one to two new software version for each of the network application hosts supported (e.g. BUYPAK, CVXPAK, SHOPAK,

EPSPAK, etc) each year. This program entitles our customers access to the current version of software supported by their host application throughout the year.

software.What options does VeriFone Offer?
