Subject to Client’s payment of the applicable Subscription Fees and Client’s compliance with the Agreement, M@ilSafi will provide the following Support Services with respect to the priorities:
2.1. Support Commitment
2.1.1. Definitions
“Priority 1” (“P1”) – A P1 is a production Incident within the Service that severely impacts the Client’s service, causing the client not to receive/send email, or because of which Client’s domain email is completely down or not functioning.
“Priority 2” (“P2”) – A P2 is a major Incident within the Service where the Client’s email service is functioning but in a reduced capacity, or the Incident is causing significant impact to portions of the Client’s business operations and productivity.
“Priority 3” (“P3”) – A P3 is a medium-to-low impact Incident that affects certain partial and/or non-critical functions of a Client’s Service, or that impairs some operations but allows Client’s operations to continue to function. Incidents for which there is limited or no loss or functionality or impact to Client’s operation and for which there is an easy workaround qualify as P3.
“Priority 4” (“P4”) – A P4 is a general usage question or issue that may be minor or cosmetic in nature or documentation related, and may include issues M@ilSafi deems to be improvement requests, but the Service works without interruption.
