IV. Incident Submission and Resolution

Customers shall obtain Support by reporting Incidents. Incidents shall be tracked from initial report through final resolution.

  1. Submitting Incidents.

    1. Who May Submit Incidents?
      Support is intended to provide assistance for issues and questions beyond what is covered in associated Documentation. At the time of purchase, the Customer may designate as many authorized Contacts as required. However, anyone employed and authorized by the Customer may be added at any time.

  2. Customer Obligations

    1. The Customer will ensure that when an authorized Customer Contact submits an Incident, that individual will have full access and permissions required to troubleshoot the Incident and is authorized to make recommended changes to the Customer’s network and/or applicable Products to help troubleshoot or resolve the issue.

    2. The Customer will give Zenphi reasonable access to the Product and systems where the Service is deployed as necessary for Zenphi to determine the cause of the problem and find a resolution. Customer is solely responsible for Customer’s data, information, and software, including making back-up copies and security. Zenphi recommends Customers create backup copies of configuration files before any work is performed.

  3. How to Submit Incidents.

Unless otherwise specified in a supplemental support plan purchased by the Customer, Incidents are to be submitted to Zenphi by an authorized Contact through via the community forum, in product chat, or email based on the level of Support purchased by Customer, as specified in the applicable Annex.

 

  1. How to Report an Incident

In order to expedite the resolution of Incidents, Zenphi expects that Customer will make every attempt possible to:

  1. Verify that the Incident is reproducible (as applicable);

  2. Provide information necessary to help Zenphi track, prioritize, reproduce, or investigate the Incident;

  3. Provide a full description of the issue and expected results;

  4. Categorize issues (technical question, defect, enhancement request, etc.);

  5. List steps to reproduce the issue and relevant data;

  6. Provide any applicable log files (de-identified of sensitive data if appropriate);

  7. Provide exact wording of all issue-related error messages;

  8. Describe any special circumstances surrounding the discovery of the issue, e.g. first occurrence or occurrence after a specific event, frequency of occurrence, business impact of the problem on the Customer, and suggested urgency and;

  9. Identify any existing Incident number in ongoing communications with Zenphi.

 
  1. Support Response and Incident Resolution.

    1. Zenphi Incident Response.
      For each Incident reported by the Customer in accordance with these procedures, Zenphi shall:

      1. Confirm receipt of the reported Incident within the Initial Response time specified in the applicable Annex;

      2. Set a Severity Level for the Incident in accordance with the terms below;

      3. Use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to the Incident within the time specified the applicable Annex;

      4. Analyze the Incident and, as applicable, verify the existence of the problem(s) resulting in the Incident, which may include requesting that the Customer provide additional information, logs, and re-execution of commands to help identify the root cause and dependencies of the reported issue;

      5. Give the Customer direction and assistance in resolving the Incident;

      6. Keep a record of ongoing communications with the Customer;

      7. Use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to the Incident in accordance with the Initial Response times set forth in the applicable Annex and;

      8. Upon request of the Customer, discuss Severity Level and ongoing communication time frame. Note: Zenphi may modify the Incident’s Severity Level at its sole discretion.

  2. Severity Levels.
    Zenphi will prioritize Incidents according to the following criteria:

    1. Severity 1 (“S1”): is the highest priority and receives first attention. S1 Cases are to be submitted when the Customer cannot access the Service.

    2. Severity 2 (“S2”): indicates a reported Incident where the issue has severely impacted the performance of the Service’s intended use and is causing a material and adverse impact to the majority of the Customer’s users; or the Service is not operating in a material respect within the documented functionality and it is impacting the majority of the Customer’s users or deployed workflows.

    3. Severity 3 (“S3”): indicates a reported Incident where the issue has an impact on the performance and/or functionality of the Service that is impacting the minority of the Customer’s users or deployed workflows.

    4. Severity 4 (“S4”): indicates a reported Incident requesting assistance and may include questions of how to use the Service. It may also include a reported Incident where the Service is operating within the documented functionality and the Customer would like to record an idea for inclusion in future releases. Zenphi will not provide feedback on such enhancement requests, and these Support Cases are closed once the information has been recorded in our Product Request tool.

  3. Resolution and Closure of Incidents.

Incidents shall be closed in the following manner:

  1. For solvable issues: Depending on the nature of the issue, the resolution may take the form of an explanation, recommendation, usage instructions, workaround instructions, or advising the Customer of an available release that addresses the issue.

  2. In the event that custom or unsupported plug-ins, modules, or custom code is used, Zenphi may ask, in the course of attempting to resolve the issue, that the Customer remove any unsupported plug-ins, modules, or custom code. If the problem disappears upon removal of an unsupported plug-in or module, then Zenphi may consider the issue to be resolved. Supported plug-ins or modules are defined as those listed and defined as supported in the Documentation.

  3. For issues outside of scope as outlined in this document, Zenphi may close issues by identifying the Incident as outside the scope of Support.

  4. Dropped Issues. Zenphi may close an Incident if the Contact has not responded after two (2) weeks from the date that Zenphi requested additional information required to solve the case. The Customer may request Incidents be reopened. At Zenphi’s sole discretion, Incidents will be re-opened for further investigation if the Incident is deemed to be solvable.
