These Service Levels and Support Services (the “SLA”) describe the service levels and support provided by Plivo, Inc. (“Plivo”) to Customer. Plivo may amend this SLA from time to time without notice to Customer in order to reflect enhancements or other modifications to its Support Packages. Any changes shall be effective as of the Effective Date listed above, provided that no change shall be effective if it would result in a material degradation of the services previously agreed to by Customer. Terms used and not defined in this SLA shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement (including its exhibits, attachments or other URL-linked terms) or, if not provided therein, in any underlying agreement referenced in the Agreement.

B. Support Operability and Communication Methodology

1. Identify

A problem or error within the Services (each, an “Issue”) can be identified in two ways:

1.1 The Plivo (“Plivo Support”) notices an issue at  https://status.plivo.com/ .

1.2 Customer informs the Plivo of an Issue.  Notification will be performed by online case submission only by creating a ticket at Ticket Portal Support (https://support.plivo.com/hc/en-us

If Customer identifies an Issue, Customer will need to provide Plivo the following:

a) Name of individual reporting the Issue
b) The service that is affected
c) The time the Issue began
d) Is the Issue ongoing?
e) Description of the failure condition
f) Specific examples (transaction IDs) where possible

Upon identifying an Issue, the Plivo opens a ticket.
