Conditions for Providing Support:  All Faults can be logged 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year basis via email to [email protected], or on the online support portal (if integrated). For the service and response commitments, Veris’ obligation to provide support services is conditioned upon the following:

  1. Promptly report any Fault encountered with a full description of the Fault;
  2. Reasonably cooperate with Veris in connection with Veris’ efforts to resolve any and all Faults;
  3. Provide a reproducible test case that demonstrates the specific usage that causes the Fault;
  4. Ensure that a resource is assigned to work with Veris to provide information or verification on an ongoing basis, until the Fault is resolved; and
  5. Provide any special circumstances surrounding the discovery of the Fault.

Severity Mapping-If during the incident management process the Fault no longer warrants the Severity level currently assigned based on its current impact on the production operation of the Service, in Veris’ sole discretion, the Severity level will be upgraded/downgraded to the level that most appropriately reflects its current impact. In the event, Veris determines that the Fault is a request to add functionality or enhance performance beyond the specifications of the Subscription Service, it shall not be classified as a Fault.

Resolution Time – Veris does not guarantee resolution times, and a resolution may consist of a hotfix patch, workaround, system configuration change or any other solution Veris deems reasonable. Veris will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the Response Times stated
