# Service Level Agreement and Support Definitions

ControlUp Support aims to provide our customers the best service with our global support centers. These centers are staffed around the clock with highly trained professionals to provide ongoing support, regardless of your geographical location.

## Severity Level Definitions

ControlUp Support prioritizes its actions for a submitted service request based on an assessment of the impact of the issue on the customer’s operations.

Each ticket is prioritized according to these guidelines:

| 1 - Urgent | - Production server or other mission critical system is down and no workaround is immediately available. - All or a substantial portion of end user’s mission critical data is at a significant risk of loss or corruption. - End user is experiencing a substantial loss of service. - End user’s business operations have been severely disrupted. |
| --- | --- |
| 2 - High | - Major functionality is severely impaired. - Operations can continue in a restricted fashion, although long-term productivity might be adversely effected or a major end user milestone is at risk. - Ongoing and incremental installations are affected. - A temporary workaround is available. |
| 3 - Normal | - Partial, non-critical loss of functionality of the software. - Impaired operations of some components, but allows the end user to continue using the software. - Initial installation milestones are at minimal risk. |
| 4 - Low | - General usage questions. - Cosmetic issues, including errors in the documentation |

## Support Plans & Response Time

## Customer Care

A Support SLA is performed and monitored according to a specific flow that includes verification and escalation management via CRM software. This insures efficient implementation of the Support SLA timeline.

ControlUp customers are responsible for reporting issues and determining their priority. Customers can submit issues via the following:

| **ControlUp website** | Support page > Submit a Ticket (preferred method) |
| --- | --- |
| **ControlUp application console** | Under the Help tab |
| **ControlUp email** | support@controlup.com |

To enable us to track **Urgent** priority tickets against our SLA, do the following:

- When opening a ticket from the website, select **Urgent**	  as the priority.
- When sending an email to support, write  **Severity1**	  as the subject of the email.

ControlUp’s support team receives the service request (SR) and communicates with ControlUp customers on its status. The handling of the service request is according to ControlUp's internal support procedure.
