You may lodge a Support Request either:

We will aim to resolve a Support Request depending on its classification, within a reasonable time frame.
In order for us to efficiently resolve Issues which are the subject of a Support Request you must:
1. provide us with accurate and detailed information;
2. provide us with any information we require;
3. undertake any diagnostics and testing we may require;

4. Severity Classifications

Upon receipt of a properly submitted Service Request, we will assign a case and prioritize and assign each Issue with a severity level (‘Severity Level’) as specified below:
1. ‘Severity 1 (S1)’ — A severity 1 Issue is a catastrophic production problem within the Service which results in the Service being unavailable or unusable or where Your Data is lost.
2. ‘Severity 2 (S2)’ — A severity 2 Issue is a problem where functionality of the Services is severely reduced including data loss or interruption to Services. Issues existing in a non-production environment that would otherwise qualify as a severity 1 Issue qualify as a severity 2 Issue.
3. ‘Severity 3 (S3)’ — A severity 3 Issue is a medium-to-low impact problem which involves partial non-critical functionality loss which impairs some operations but allows the Services to function. This may be a minor Issue with limited loss or no loss of functionality or impact to Your operation and Issues in which there is an easy work around or avoidance by you.
4. ‘Severity 4 (S4)’ — A severity 4 Issue is for a general usage question or Issue that may be cosmetic in nature or documentation related where the Services will work without any functional limitation.
5. ‘Enhancement Request (ER)’ — An enhancement request is a recommendation for future product enhancement or modification to add official support and documentation for unsupported, undocumented features that do not exist in the Services. We will take ERs into consideration in the product management process, but have no obligation to deliver enhancements based on any ER.
In the event that You reasonably believe that You have an S1 Issue, Your Principal Support Contact must notify Us within an appropriate timeframe so as to not delay Our ability to work to provide a Resolution. The Principal Support Contact must use all reasonable efforts to provide Us with all necessary personnel and information to accurately troubleshoot the Issue.
We have the right to use any resolution delivery method (‘Resolution’) available to resolve an Issue.
Resolution of any Issue which We provide in the form of a release of Our Applications will address an Issue only with respect to the most current release of the Applications and, in Our sole discretion, the most recent previous sequential release.

5. Issue Escalation

YOUR PRINCIPAL SUPPORT CONTACT IS THE ONLY SUPPORT CONTACT THAT CAN ESCALATE AN ISSUE TO PRIORITY STATUS UNLESS THE ISSUE REPRESENTS A SEVERITY 1 (S1) ISSUE.
SEVERITY 1 ISSUES MUST BE SUBMITTED, IN ENGLISH, USING THE 24×7 PHONE NUMBER PROVIDED.
We will use continuous efforts during the Hours of Operation to provide a Resolution for any Severity 1 Issue.
We will escalate any unresolved Issues to the appropriate level to achieve Resolution of your Issue in accordance with your chosen support option.
Escalation times are contingent upon Your technical staff availability and will only accrue during the Hours of Operation.
