These are the hours a customer can expect a response to a support request.
This is the confirmation that we have seen your message and we are looking into it.
This is the time we aim to resolve a issue.
This is the guaranteed annual uptime and accounts for the frequent periodic maintenance we undertake. All maintenance is done outside of your business hours to minimise disruption.
A customer can request support via any of these methods.
Any issues we have in a region that are persistent will require a shift to another region. We aim to make this shift in these agreed time.

3.3 All Support Services will be provided remotely unless expressly agreed otherwise by the Provider.
3.4 The Provider will use all means necessary to respond to a customer within the hour of a support request and to resolve any issues within 4 hours of notification.
3.5 The Provider prioritises customers according to the plan and number of team members using the service. However every customer will receive an initial response within an hour and resolution in 4 hours for issues related to the platform. In reality this means the average response time for a customer with more team members will be lower than a customer with less team members. We believe all our customers are important.
3.6 The Provider provides a Service upgrade which guarantees response rates in less than 20 minutes and resolution within 2 hours.
4.1 Where the total person-hours spent by the Provider performing the Support Services under Paragraphs 2 and 3 during any calendar month exceed 1 hour, then: (a) the Provider will cease to have an obligation to provide those Support Services to the Customer during that period; providing that (b) the Provider may agree to provide additional such Support Services to the Customer during that period, but the provision of such services will be subject to payment by the Customer of additional Charges at the Provider’s standard hourly rates from time to time.
4.2 The Provider shall have no obligation under the Agreement to provide Support Services in respect of any fault or error caused by:
(a) the improper use of the Platform; or (b) the use of the Platform otherwise than in accordance with the Documentation; or (c) the customers account is in arrears.

5.3 The Provider will give to the Customer reasonable prior written notice of the application of any significant Upgrade to the Platform. Such notice shall include details of the specific changes to the functionality of the Platform resulting from the application of the Upgrade.
5.4 The Customer shall not be subject to any additional Charges arising out of the application of the Upgrade, save where: (a) the Upgrade introduces New Functionality to the Platform; (b) that New Functionality does not serve the same purpose as legacy functionality that ceases or has ceased to be available as a result of any Upgrade; (c) access to or use of the New Functionality is chargeable to the customers of the Provider using the Platform generally; and (d) any decision by the Customer not to pay the Charges for the New Functionality will not prejudice the Customer’s access to and use of the rest of the Platform.

7.1 Subject to Paragraph 7.2, the Provider will: (a) make back-ups of the Customer Materials stored on the Platform on a daily basis, and will retain such back-ups for at least 30 days ; and (b) at least once every day, the Provider will arrange for the multi-region duplication of storage of a current back-up of the Customer Materials stored on the Platform (which will be used in a multi-region fail-over scenario).
7.3 In the event of the loss of, or corruption of, Customer Materials stored on the Platform being notified by the Customer to the Provider under Paragraph 2, the Provider shall if so directed by the Customer use all reasonable endeavours] promptly to restore the Customer Materials from the most recent available back-up copy or fail-over to another availability zone.

8.3 Platform downtime during scheduled maintenance carried out by the Provider in accordance with this Paragraph 8 shall not be counted as downtime for the purposes of Paragraph 6.
9.1 The Provider uses customer-specific encryption keys to encrypt and store all customer data. This tasks makes working with customer storage more complex (i.e for Servana Engineers) increasing the amount of time it takes to deliver recovery services (i.e if required). We consider this an acceptible constraint for the benefits and piece of mind our customers retain.
9.2 The use of encryption also limits options for offsite back-up.
9.3 Decryption is still possible though the process is not easy and requires high levels of access to multiple services.
1.1 References in this Schedule to Paragraphs are to the paragraphs of this Schedule, unless otherwise stated.
1.2 The Charges under the Agreement will consist of the following elements: (a) monthly Charges, in respect of access to and use of the Platform; (b) annual Charges, in respect of access to and use of the Platform; and (c) other Charges.
