Email: [email protected]
Phone: 1-844-MAVRCK1 (1-844-628-7251)
5. Call Escalation Management
Customer may contact the Mavrck Account Manager to raise or lower the Severity of a Work Request to reflect changed business or technical impact. Mavrck will address any Work Requests that are modified in this way with the level of attention appropriate to the new Severity as defined within this policy document.
To escalate a problem, Customer may contact the Mavrck Account Manager assigned to the Work Request. Such escalations will receive prompt attention and ensure appropriate focus from Mavrck.
6. Upgrade Protection Plan
Mavrck will periodically release software updates and certain upgrades to deployed products to correct errors or to otherwise improve Mavrck product performance. Mavrck provides access to these software updates by applying these updates during Customer non-business hours whenever possible.
Upgrades means any new versions or new releases of Mavrck software, which may include enhancements, and are distributed as a general release for no additional license fee. Upgrades do not include new versions and new releases of the software that are either (i) marketed as a new product and/or contain new features and functionality; or (ii) contain a substantially new source code base developed to support a different technology platform.
7. Identification of Product Errors
In order to identify and resolve a problem, Customers may be asked to provide additional data including, but not limited to:
- Reproducible test case
- Scenario definitions
- Link to Mavrck account
- Link to Mavrck specific application
- Frequency of occurrence
In order to verify a product error, the Customer must provide a complete description of the product error to enable Mavrck to proceed with the problem investigation, including sufficient information to enable Mavrck to reproduce the problem.
Customer is responsible for all actions required to verify and substantiate the existence of a product error and to ascertain the conditions under which the problem may be duplicated
8. Product Error Corrections
Mavrck does not warrant that Mavrck products are error free, although reasonable efforts are made to ensure Mavrck products work as designed. Due to the technical complexities of Mavrck products and the environments in which the products are used, newly reported and identifiable product errors may take several weeks, or months, to debug, write, test, and integrate a fix. For Critical product errors, Mavrck will make reasonable efforts to develop a workaround that can be used until the error has been resolved.
At its discretion, Mavrck may make available a software update for newly reported and identifiable product errors of a Critical nature. Where possible, unit testing of the software update is performed prior to release, although such software updates do not undergo full system testing or integration testing. Mavrck therefore does not warrant the behavior of any software update made available to the Customer.
9. Third-Party Vendor Support
Technical support from Mavrck is not available for problems that arise as a result of the use of Mavrck products in conjunction with software from third-party vendors.
10. Exclusions
Mavrck shall have no obligation to provide technical support services if a problem is caused by: (a) misuse of Mavrck products, (b) any fault of Customer’s agents or employees, (d) any attempts at modifications to the Mavrck product performed by other than personnel of Mavrck, (e) casualty, act of God, strikes, riot, war, the unauthorized acts of third parties, (f) failure or interruption of any electrical power, telephone, or communication line or like cause, (g) any other cause external to the Mavrck product except ordinary use.
11. Monthly Uptime
Mavrck warrants that its products provided pursuant to this Agreement will be available 99.0% of the time in a given month (“Mavrck SLA”). This Mavrck SLA shall apply only to the Mavrck Products and services purchased in an applicable Sales Order (“SO”) or other form of agreement.
The Mavrck SLA shall not apply to performance issues: (a) to the extent caused by factors outside Mavrck’s reasonable control but not limited to internet provider issues, third-party service issues, weather related service interruptions, acts of God, and other non-Mavrck related hosting issues; (b) that resulted from any actions or inactions of Customer or any third parties not affiliated with Mavrck; (c) that resulted from Customer’s equipment and/or third-party equipment; or (d) that are scheduled by Mavrck for purposes of maintaining or updating the product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mavrck SLA does apply to performance issues caused by, or on account of, Mavrck sub-contractors including but not limited to Amazon-branded web services.
If Mavrck does not meet the Mavrck SLA, Customer shall request, in writing, a detailed explanation of downtime and, should Mavrck be at fault per the definitions above, the Customer shall be eligible to receive Service Level Credits described below.
Monthly Uptime Percentages | Days of Service Added to End of Term at No Charge |
< 99.0% -> = 97.0% | 2 |
< 97.0% -> = 95.0% | 4 |
< 95.0% | 8 |
