Priority

Description

Response and Fix Time

1

The SeekOut Services are not working, a significant function of the SeekOut Services is not properly working, or a significant number of users are unable to access or use some functionality. This is an issue that, in the reasonable judgment of Customer and confirmed by SeekOut’s expert personnel, renders the SeekOut Services inoperable or is causing a serious adverse impact to Customer’s business operations.

SeekOut will respond to Customer’s Priority 1 problems no later than one (1) hour after Customer’s report of such problem or SeekOut’s detection of such problem, whichever is earlier. SeekOut will use best and continuous efforts, twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week to provide an acceptable work-around for the Priority 1 problem and will provide a permanent fix for the Priority 1 problem no later than thirty (30) days after report of such problem or SeekOut’s detection of such problem, whichever is earlier.

2

Functionality of the SeekOut Services is impaired or some users are unable to access or use some functionality. This is an issue that materially impairs the SeekOut Services’ performance of one or more facilities or functions, with the consequence that Customer’s business can be performed but in a restricted or inefficient manner.

SeekOut will respond to Customer’s Priority 2 problems no later than one (1) hour after Customer’s report of such problem or SeekOut’s detection of such problem, whichever is earlier. SeekOut will use reasonable and continuous efforts to fix Priority 2 problems during normal business hours, and if an acceptable work-around is provided, will provide a permanent fix of the Priority 2 problem no later than thirty (30) days after report of such problem or SeekOut’s detection of such problem, whichever is earlier.

3

Low impact to users of the SeekOut Services. This is an issue that does not significantly affect Customer’s current day-to-day business operations, but the performance or efficiency of Customer’s business operations might improve if such issue were to be corrected.

SeekOut will respond to Priority 3 problems within four (4) hours after Customer’s report of such problem or SeekOut’s detection of such problem, whichever is earlier, during regular business hours (or on the next business day, if the problem is reported outside of regular business hours). SeekOut will fix Priority 3 problems no later than thirty (30) days after report of such problem or SeekOut’s detection of such problem, whichever is earlier.
