Specific Terms
GrayMatter Networks strives to limit the time during which the Services are not available to our Customer (“Downtimeâ€). GrayMatter Networks tracks downtime through its ticket system. Downtime is measured from the time Customer opens a Downtime ticket to the time the affected Service is restored. GrayMatter Networks will respond to Downtime according to the above matrix. This SLA does not apply to call quality.
GrayMatter Networks will not be held to SLA terms when the Downtime results from (i) Customer’s use of the Services contrary to the terms of the MSA or Service Order; (ii) failure of equipment not owned and controlled by GrayMatter Networks; (iii) Routine and urgent maintenance; or (iv) the unavailability of Customer’s personnel.
From time to time, GrayMatter Networks may be required to perform Maintenance on services, products and equipment. Routine Maintenance refers to standard upgrades to the Services and other efforts to maintain the functionality of the Services. Urgent Maintenance refers to efforts to restore material Service outages.
Customer understands and agrees that Routine and Urgent maintenance may affect the quality and availability of the Services. GrayMatter Networks endeavors to schedule and perform routine maintenance between the hours of 12:00 a.m.- 6:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (GMT -5).
In the case of routine maintenance, a service notification shall be sent via email to the customer giving at least 3 business days notice as to the maintenance and what effect it shall have on the products and services.
In the case of urgent maintenance, GrayMatter Networks will use all commercially reasonable efforts to inform the customer via email of the maintenance being performed and affect on products and services as quickly as possible.
