RESPONSIVENESS GUARANTEE
01.com makes material efforts to respond to its Customers' contact 24/7. A Response is defined as the acceptance of the ticket, and a reply to it. An acceptable response may include escalating the ticket to another person or department without 24/7 availability, and with the experience, skill or authority to more efficiently resolve the ticket for the Customer. The Company makes best efforts to make its Help Desk available 24/7 to customer issues, tracked through an enterprise trouble ticketing system. A ticket is issued for each inquiry and issue, whether customers contact us by web, e-mail, chat or phone. Responses are tracked and measured by the help desk ticketing system, and may be reviewed by the Customer directly through the Customer Self-service Portal.
At the time such contact is made, we request that customers identify the priority of their issue on a scale of Low, Medium, High, Urgent, Emergency and Critical. The Company makes best efforts to respond to tickets based on their priority, and depends on Customers' accurate assessments, where generally the priorities correspond to: - Low: Please respond within 5 days, there is no work slow down associated with the issue
- Medium: Please respond within 2 days, there may be a work slow down caused by the issue
- High: Please respond within 24 hours, one person may be experiencing a work slow down
- Urgent: Please respond within 8 hours, one person's work is stopped, or a group may be slowed
- Emergency: Respond within 4 hours, a group's work may be stopped, or a company's may be slowed
- Critical: Respond within 15 minutes, a company's work is stopped due to an issue.
Tickets of the same Priority are prioritized first-come, first served.
100% UPTIME GUARANTEEThis 100% uptime guarantee applies to 01.com Zimbra Hosting clients in good financial standing and outside of their free trial period with 01.com at the time of a service outage.
SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT & SPECIFICATIONS01.com endeavors to have your e-mail services accessible by any party in the world 100% of the time. Network downtime (unavailability) is defined as 100% packet loss from 01.com's data center to its backbone providers. Downtime is measured past 10 minutes after notification of network failure via 01.com's data center's online ticketing system or e-mail. If the ticketing system or e-mail itself is unreachable, the ticket must be started by calling 01.com on one of its toll-free support lines. 01.com's administrators will determine the end of the downtime by a trace-route to the customer's machine from outside the 01.com's network.
