Support Policy
Last updated 1 March 2026
Support hours, severity levels, response targets and escalation.
Effective Date: March 1, 2026
This Support Policy is incorporated into and forms part of the Inteveo EcoLink Master Terms and Conditions (the “Terms“). Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the Terms. This Policy describes the support Company provides for Services identified in an executed Service Agreement while Customer’s account is current.
1. SCOPE
1.1 What is included. Technical support for the configuration, operation, and troubleshooting of the Services, including fault diagnosis, defect reporting, account and user administration assistance, and coordination with Third-Party Providers on Customer’s behalf where the fault appears to originate with that provider.
1.2 What is not included. Unless separately purchased under Schedule D of the Terms (Professional Services), support does not include: end-user training or certification; implementation, migration, or onboarding services; custom development or scripting; support for Customer’s local network, internet access, electrical power, computers, or third-party software; support for equipment not supplied by Company; or work arising from Customer’s unauthorized changes or unsupported configurations. Company has no obligation to provide training, onboarding, or implementation except where expressly purchased (Section 10.5 of the Terms).
1.3 Third-Party Providers. Where a fault originates with a Third-Party Provider, Company will open and manage a ticket with that provider and act as Customer’s advocate. Resolution timing is controlled by that provider, and Company is not responsible for it (Section 10.2 of the Terms).
2. HOURS AND CHANNELS
Coverage
Severity 1 (Critical)
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year
Severity 2, 3, and 4
Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. U.S. Central Time, excluding Company holidays
Channels: support portal, email, and telephone as published at /legal. Severity 1 issues must be reported by telephone to start the response clock; a portal or email submission alone does not.
Company holidays are published annually and posted in the support portal. Severity 1 coverage is unaffected by holidays.
3. SEVERITY LEVELS
Company assigns severity based on business impact. Company may reclassify a ticket, acting reasonably, after consultation with Customer.
Severity
Definition
Examples
1 — Critical
Complete loss of a material function affecting all or substantially all of Customer’s users, with no workaround
Total inability to place or receive calls; platform inaccessible site-wide
2 — High
Significant degradation, or loss of a material function for a group of users or a location, with no reasonable workaround
One location cannot receive inbound calls; integration sync stopped
3 — Medium
Loss or degradation of a non-material function, or an issue affecting individual users, or an issue with an available workaround
A single user’s voicemail-to-email failing; intermittent transcription errors
4 — Low
Questions, configuration requests, cosmetic issues, documentation requests, and enhancement requests
How-to questions; adding a user; reporting requests
4. RESPONSE TARGETS
4.1 Targets. Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the following initial response targets, measured from Company’s receipt of a properly submitted ticket:
Severity
Initial response target
Status update cadence
1 — Critical
30 minutes
Every 60 minutes until mitigated
2 — High
2 business hours
Every 4 business hours
3 — Medium
1 business day
Every 2 business days
4 — Low
2 business days
As material progress occurs
4.2 Response, not resolution. These are targets for initial response and communication only. They are not commitments to resolve an issue within any period, and they are not availability commitments. Resolution time depends on root cause, third-party dependencies, and Customer’s cooperation.
4.3 No credits. Failure to meet a response target does not give rise to a service credit under the SLA, does not constitute a breach of the Agreement, and does not entitle Customer to terminate or to withhold payment.
5. ESCALATION
Customer may request escalation at any time. Company will also escalate Severity 1 and Severity 2 issues on its own initiative as follows:
Elapsed time (Sev 1)
Escalation level
1 hour
Senior Support Engineer
2 hours
Support Manager
4 hours
Director of Operations
8 hours
Executive sponsor, and where applicable, Third-Party Provider escalation management
For Severity 2, the same sequence applies on a business-hours clock at 4, 8, 16, and 24 business hours.
Escalation contact details are published in the support portal and provided to Customer’s designated administrative contacts at onboarding.
6. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
To enable effective support, Customer shall:
- designate administrative contacts authorized to open tickets, request changes, and receive CPNI, and keep those designations current (Section 7.7(d) of the Terms);
- report issues promptly, with the affected users, locations, numbers, times, error messages, and steps to reproduce;
- report Severity 1 issues by telephone;
- provide reasonable access to systems, sites, personnel, and information needed for diagnosis, and be reasonably available during troubleshooting;
- perform reasonable diagnostic steps Company requests, including local testing and equipment restarts;
- maintain its own network, internet connectivity, power, and equipment; and
- keep credentials secure and promptly deprovision departed users (Section 5.5 of the Terms).
Company may close a ticket, after two documented attempts to reach Customer over five (5) business days without response, and may decline to proceed where Customer does not provide required access or information.
7. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
Company may update this Support Policy in accordance with Section 2.5 of the Terms, on thirty (30) days’ notice for material changes. Current and prior versions are available at /legal.
