- If Customer Contacts submit Support Tickets related to enhancement or feature requests, Incorta shall treat those tickets as closed once the request has been forwarded internally.
- Failure of Customer to respond to Incorta’s requests for a period of five (5) business days may result in Incorta closing the Support Ticket. Customer may at any time add a new support case.

If Customer reasonably believes Incorta Support is not performing in a professional manner or is failing to provide timely responses in accordance with this Policy, Customer may escalate the Support Ticket using the support escalation process described at the Incorta Support Portal (“Case Escalation”).

- Error Severity Levels and Response Times
-
- Incorta’s technical support offering includes the following response times which are dependent on the classification of the severity of the issues raised, and are further based on the Customer’s individually contracted Support Subscriptions. Upon receipt of a Support Ticket, Incorta, at its sole discretion, determines the Error and assigns the applicable Severity Level based on descriptions in (“Table 1 – Severity Levels For Confirmed Errors”). Incorta shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the Initial Response Time Target for the applicable Severity Level, as measured during In-Region Incorta Support Hours set forth in (“Table 3 – Incorta Support Hours”) below (such hour(s), “Business Hour(s)” with the total Business Hours in an in-region support day being “Business Day(s)”).
- If the Customer Contact that submitted the Support Case is unresponsive or unreachable, Incorta may downgrade the Severity Level by one level.
- If Incorta’s Severity Level designation is different from that assigned by Customer, Incorta will promptly notify Customer of such designation change. If Customer notifies Incorta of a reasonable basis for disagreeing with Incorta’s designated Severity Level, the parties will discuss in an effort to come to mutual agreement. If disagreement remains after discussion, each party will escalate within its organization and use good faith efforts to mutually agree on the appropriate Severity Level.
- Additionally, for Customer’s purchasing a subscription to the Incorta Cloud Solution, Section 2 – Service Level Agreement, below applies.
