Preamble
This SLA states
the services and standards of service provided by Pendulab Pte
Ltd to Customer. Pendulab is committed to providing a high
level of service to ensure that the Software is successfully
implemented on the Customer's web site(s).
This SLA is
intended to guarantee that the Customer will receive a fast
response to the Customer's needs, questions and requests for
support. It aims to ensure a mutual understanding on the level
of expectations for the quality and time frame for response
provided by Pendulab.
The objectives
of this SLA are:
Provision of
an effective technical support and after-sales service via
the SLA
Meeting the
expectations of the Customer under the terms of this SLA.
Provision of
the compensation terms should Pendulab fails to meet the
guarantees.
The metrics of
this SLA, which will be used as a quantified measurement of
the level of service expected by customer and provided by
Pendulab, will be stated as follow:
Email
Response Time Frame (Clause I) Pendulab guarantees that it will respond to a Customer's
email within 12 hours from the time the email is received.
This service will be available from Monday to Sunday, seven
days a week. If the nature of the Customer's email is a "request for
support", a response from Pendulab may or may not lead
to a successful resolution of the support case initiated by
Customer. However, Pendulab will strive to solve all support
cases in a timely manner. A qualified support case should
report a program "bug" only and does not apply to
a request for additional features for the Software. Customer
must send all emails to support@pendulab.com
in order for Pendulab to log a customer's email. If the
customer sends an email to another email address, other than
support@pendulab.com,
Pendulab will not guarantee that the Customer's email will
be responded to within 12 hours from the time the email is
received.
24/5 Phone Response Time Frame for
Platinum Support (Clause I.I) Pendulab offers a 24 by 5, Monday to Friday, phone
support service to customers. Pendulab's
Service Engineer will ensure that all calls are taken as
promptly as possible. If our
Service Engineer is busy, a callback request will be made to
the Customer. Pendulab guarantees that it will reply to the
Customer's callback request within 4 hours.
Scope of
Guarantee (Clause II) Pendulab guarantees Clause I above on every work day,
public holidays and weekends. In essence, the scope of this
guarantee covers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a
year. This guarantee does not apply if the email sent by the
Customer is "lost" while in transit to Pendulab's
mail box account. This can happen due to a network failure
that occurred during a transit.
Compensation Pendulab will, at Pendulab's sole discretion, provide
the following terms of compensation for the failure to meet
the guarantee stated in Clause I and Clause II above:
If the
Customer has purchased the InstantEngage Hosted service,
Pendulab will award one free day credit through service
extension for each day that the Customer's
email is not responded to after the first 24 hours from
the time the Customer's email is received. This
compensation award will be capped at a maximum of thirty
day credit
for each Customer for each calendar year, regardless of the number of times
Pendulab has failed to meet the guarantees.
This SLA will
be effective for an indefinite period, if the Customer
acquires the InstantEngage Hosted plan AND if the Customer
has consistently paid for the monthly service fee.
