Support service levels

Last updated 3rd September 2021

The Sitepass service levels (SSL) outline the support provided for support requests, incident management and self-help of Sitepass. Sitepass SSL accompanies the Sitepass service agreement, available at https://mysitepass.com/legal/terms-and-conditions/ and the Sitepass platform service levels available at https://mysitepass.com/legal/service-levels/.

The SSL defined remains valid until superseded by a revised version.

Goals and objectives

The purpose and goal of the SSL is to ensure that the proper elements and commitments are in place to provide consistent support of Sitepass to our clients and users.

The objectives of the SSL are to:

  • Provide clear reference to service ownership, accountability, roles and/or responsibilities.
  • Present a clear, concise and measurable description of service provision to the customer.
  • Match perceptions of expected service provision with actual service, support & delivery.

Periodic review

The SSL is valid from the effective Date outlined herein and is valid until further notice. This will be reviewed at a minimum once per fiscal year; however, in lieu of a review during any period specified, the current support policy will remain in effect.

Contents of this SSL may be amended as required, and 30 days prior communication will occur to all affected parties.
