Support Level Policy

Capitalized terms herein shall have the meaning set out in the Terms of Use or as defined in this policy (the “Support Level Policy”). The definitions and interpretation rules set out in the Terms of Use shall be applicable to this Support Level Policy.

Unless specified otherwise, the Support Level Policy hereunder describes the availability of the standard Support Service provided directly by the Operator. Should the Client have subscribed to any third-party support services, such services are not described hereunder.

Explanatory notes: 

  • Please note that the Operator has committed to the availability as set out in the Service Level Policy of 99.95% set out herein as one of its key ISO27001 commitments and Scoro’s systems are regularly audited to assess the compliance of Scoro’s SaaS provision and development to the ISO27001 standard. 
  • Please note that the Operator has committed to the availability of the Platform in a separate Service Level Policy available here

1. Requests for Support Service

1.1 The Operator shall provide a comprehensive overview of the Platforms functions available via the Help Center published at support.scoro.com.

1.2. The Client may request Support Service by submitting a request form via the Help Center.

1.3 The Client may request Support Service via a call-back request made to a phone line published at the Help Center.

1.4 Should the Client not duly identify themselves while requesting Support Service or if required so by the Operator, the Operator shall not have the obligation to provide any Support Service.

 

2. Availability of the Support Service

2.1 During the term of the Contract the Operator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to incidents or errors from Clients within the following timeframes:

2.1.1 the Operator shall address any server availability issues of the Platform to meet the availability commitment set out in the Service Level Policy on a 24/7 basis. 

2.1.2 the Operator shall respond to any requests submitted by the Client pursuant to the matrix in Clause 2.2.

2.2 The Operator shall prioritize addressing any Support Service requests that describe objectively errors arising from the Platform that have a critical impact on the Client’s business operation while using the Platform for its intended purpose. Please find the prioritization matrix below.

Urgency & impact Examples Expected response
& resolution time
Critical: due to the incident, most of the business is unable to access Scoro.
  • Workspace is unresponsive or inaccessible
  • Main user workflows in the product are not working (tasks, projects, quotes…)
While Scoro cannot guarantee a resolution time, we make reasonable efforts to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Scoro’s target resolution time for these issues will be within one business day.
High: Large part of the business suffers a major issue. The problem doesn’t stop the business, and operations can continue in a limited mode. No workaround is available. Will cause a critical impact if not fixed.
  • Business-critical feature is broken (e.g. quotes, invoices, calendar, time-tracker)
  • Finance Integrations are not updating.
While Scoro cannot guarantee a resolution time, we make reasonable efforts to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Medium: One or more users suffer a major issue, or a large part of business suffers minor difficulty. The problem is important to long-term productivity but doesn’t cause immediate critical impact. Operations can continue with certain limitations/complex workarounds.
  • Permission-related issues
  • Issues related to sunsetted modules 
  • Unstandardized Configuration Services (see clause 3.5)
While Scoro cannot guarantee a resolution time, we make reasonable efforts to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Low: One or more users suffer a minor difficulty. Product-related questions.
  • Slow performance that is resolved by clearing the cache on the Customer’s browser
  • ”How to” questions that are out of Support scope and need to be escalated to the Engineering team
Scoro may consider a fix in one of the future versions.


2.3 For the purpose of this Support Level Policy, “Normal Business Hours” shall mean from Monday to Friday 7 am until 7 pm UTC and UTC+01:00 during Northern Hemisphere summer time.

 

3. Limitations

3.1 No rights shall arise from this Support Level Policy to third parties that are not Clients of the Operator.

3.2 Should the Client reach out to the Operator via the Support Service email, Help Center request form, or call-back request set out in the Support Level Policy and not use the Support Service for reporting errors or availability, the availability commitment set out in the Support Level Policy shall not apply to responding to such requests. However, the Operator shall undertake to reasonably respond to such requests. 

3.3 This Support Level Policy is subject to limitations set out in the Terms of Use and the Contract.

3.4 The Support Service shall not copy full contents published at the Help Center in its responses to Support Service requests and shall presume that the Client has thoroughly worked through the relevant Help Center article when requesting the Support Service when responding to such requests.

3.5 Support Service does not include Unstandardized Configuration Service (e.g. creating or updating PDF templates; creating or updating custom fields; importing, exporting, modifying or linking customer data). Unstandardized Configuration Services are subject to a separate agreement between the Operator and the Client in accordance with the Terms of Use.

3.6 The minimum charge for our Unstandardized Configuration Services is set at 170 EUR. The final price of the service will be determined by the complexity of the project and the allocated resources required. Our team will start working on delivering Unstandardized Configuration Service once the invoice is paid in full. In cases where requirements change or additional resources are needed, the pricing may be adjusted accordingly. Clients will be informed and consulted before any adjustments are made.
