Service Level Agreement

Last updated on August 15, 2023

Welcome to Steadcloud's Service Level Agreement (SLA), designed to outline the commitments and expectations we uphold in delivering reliable and quality services to our valued customers. This SLA outlines service availability, support levels, response times, incident handling, maintenance, exclusions, and compensation terms. It's important to note that while we strive to provide exceptional service, the SLA serves as a framework for guiding our efforts and should not be construed as a legally binding contract. No rights can be derived from this SLA, and Steadcloud reserves the right to modify it as needed to improve our services.

Article 2: Support Levels and Response Times

Steadcloud offers three levels of support: Basic Support, Standard Support, and Premium Support. Each level comes with different response times and support availability.
- Basic Support:
  - Availability: Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM CET (excluding holidays).
  - Response Time: Within 48 business hours for non-urgent inquiries.
- Standard Support:

- Premium Support:

Article 3: Incident Response and Resolution

Incidents are categorized based on their severity:
- Minor: Service degradation or isolated issues affecting a single customer.
- Major: Significant degradation in service affecting multiple customers.
- Critical: Total service outage affecting all customers.
Response and Resolution Times:
- Minor: Response within 2 hours, resolution within 24 hours.
- Major: Response within 1 hour, resolution within 12 hours.
- Critical: Response within 30 minutes, resolution within 4 hours.

Article 4: Scheduled Maintenance

Regular maintenance may be required to ensure the stability and security of our services. We will make every effort to notify customers of planned maintenance at least 48 hours in advance. Maintenance windows are generally scheduled during off-peak hours to minimize disruptions.

Article 5: Exclusions

Please note that this Service Level Agreement will not apply to any disruptions that are beyond the control of Steadcloud, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of terrorism, internet service provider failures, or customer-specific configuration issues. This information is also explicitly stated in Article 5 of our Terms of Service, which always takes precedence.

Article 6: Compensation

If we do not meet the agreed-upon SLA uptime, customers who qualify may be eligible for compensation. Please see Article 4 in our Terms of Service for more information.
