|
Currently, Planned Maintenance is four (4) hours for weekly maintenance, plus four (4) hours for monthly maintenance, plus four (4) hours for quarterly maintenance. TimeTec's current weekly maintenance begins at 2:00 am (UTC +8) on Saturday; monthly maintenance begins at 6:00 am (UTC +8) on Saturday; and quarterly maintenance begins at 10:00 am (UTC +8) on Saturday. All times are subject to change upon fourteen (14) days' notice provided in TimeTec emails, and any such change shall not lengthen the duration of the associated maintenance window.
If the actual maintenance exceeds the time allotted for Planned Maintenance, it is considered an Unplanned Outage. Conversely, if actual maintenance is less than the time allotted for Planned Maintenance, that time is not applied as a credit to offset any Unplanned Outage time for the year. |
| 5. TimeTec Feature Release and Service Update Process | |
| Periodically, TimeTec introduces new features in the Service with enhanced functionality across TimeTec applications. Features and functionality will be made available as part of a major feature release ("Feature Release") or as part of weekly service updates ("Service Updates"). Feature Releases will take place approximately six times per year. The frequency of Feature Release availability may be increased or decreased by TimeTec at TimeTec's discretion. |
| 6. Case Submittal and Reporting | |
| Customer's Contacts may submit cases to TimeTec Support via methods stipulated in Section 9. Each case will be assigned a unique case number. TimeTec will respond to each case per this SLA and will work diligently toward resolving the issue, taking into consideration its severity and impact on the Customer's business operations. Actual resolution time will depend on the nature of the case and the resolution itself. A resolution may consist of a fix, workaround, delivery of information or other reasonable solution to the issue. |
