Severity Level Definitions

Severity 1

A Severity 1 incident means a catastrophic problem that may severely impact a Customer’s ability to conduct business in a Production Environment. This may mean that the Customer’s systems are down or not functioning and no procedural workaround exists. D2iQ will use continuous efforts during all hours to provide a resolution for any Severity 1 incident as soon as is commercially reasonable. A Severity 1 incident implies present loss of revenue generating functionality.

Severity 2

A Severity 2 incident means a high-impact problem in which the Customer’s Production Environment operation is disrupted, and (i) there is capacity to remain productive and maintain necessary business level operations, or (ii) there is not capacity to remain productive but there is no present loss of revenue generating functionality. D2iQ will use reasonable efforts during Business Hours to provide a resolution for any Severity 2 incident.

Severity 3

A Severity 3 incident means a medium-to-low impact problem that involves partial loss of non-critical functionality. The problem impairs some operations but allows the Customer to continue to function. This may be a minor issue with limited loss or no loss of functionality or impact to the Customer’s operation. Incidents for which there is limited or no loss of functionality or impact to the customer’s operation and for which there is an easy work-around qualify as Severity 3. D2iQ will use reasonable efforts during Business Hours to provide a resolution for any Severity 3 error in time for an upcoming release of Supported Software. All inbound web form cases shall have an initial status of Severity 3.

Severity 4

A Severity 4 incident means an incident assigned to general usage questions, recommendations for future product enhancements or modifications. This includes Documentation errors. There is no impact on the performance or functionality of the Supported Software. All inbound email cases shall have an initial status of Severity 4.

Customer Obligations

Customer must provide a functional Customer Project/Application description to clearly define the Customer Project/Application D2iQ will be supporting. Customer is responsible for ensuring that its personnel that interact with D2iQ have sufficient language and technical skills, and respond to and cooperate with D2iQ in a timely manner in connection to requests for Support Services. Using good faith and reasonable judgment, Customer will assign an initial Severity to each incident prior to reporting it to D2iQ, and D2iQ will assign a unique tracking number to each incident as it is reported. Using good faith and reasonable judgment, D2iQ may change the Severity of a report.

As a precondition for requesting Support Services from D2iQ, Customer agrees to (and to cause each of its developers to) use reasonable efforts to: (i) attempt to solve the problem and to utilize sufficient resources to clearly understand that a problem exists before consulting D2iQ; (ii) provide D2iQ with sufficient information and technical data in order for D2iQ to establish that a potential problem is not the kind of problem that is an exclusion from the Support Services; (iii) make reasonable attempts and expend reasonable resources to provide any data reasonably requested by D2iQ to adequately address the potential problem; (iv) utilize sufficient resources to understand the instructions from D2iQ in addressing the problem, and make reasonable attempts to correct the problem as suggested by D2iQ. In addition, Customer agrees and acknowledges that the extent of access and the accuracy of information and technical data provided may affect D2iQ’s ability to provide the Support Services.

Support Service Exclusions

D2iQ will have no obligation to provide Support Services to Customer in the event that (a) following delivery by D2iQ, the Supported Software has been changed, modified or damaged by Customer or anyone other than D2iQ; (b) the problem is caused by Customer’s negligence, misconduct, or misuse of the Supported Software, a hardware malfunction, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of D2iQ; (c) the problem is due to third party software that is not Supported Software; (d) Customer has not installed or implemented any Supported Software releases made generally available or is running a Version of the Supported Software that is no longer supported (per the terms below); or (e) Customer’s use of the Supported Software is not in compliance with the Agreement (including without limitation any Node or Customer Project/Application restrictions). The Support Services do not cover the support of any third party software which integrates with the Supported Software. In addition, the Support Services do not include the following: (i) use of any version of any Supported Software that is not designated as a production release (such as a milestone or release candidate or code contained in the sandbox or any other repository that is not packaged into a production release distribution); (ii) Customer’s failure to comply with operating instructions contained in the documentation (including, without limitation, any failure by Customer to use up-to-date versions of any third party components or other dependencies as specified by D2iQ in writing); (iii) installation, configuration, management and operation of Customer’s applications; (iv) APIs, interfaces or data formats other than those included with the Supported Software; (v) custom development services; or (vi) any training.
