Service Level Expectations for Time to First Response

This section communicates our current Service Level Expectations (SLEs) for time to first response. These are expectations, which means that though we make every effort to achieve them, factors beyond our control may block us from doing so. 

As a general rule, we at 55 Degrees are available for any questions, concerns, issues etc through our support portal.

Level 1

• Criteria for Classification: Request is an outage or problem causing the product not to be usable at all by the customer. Any security-related incidents are treated as Level 1.

• Time to first response: Within 2 hours of receipt of request during business hours. Requests received outside of business hours will be treated as if they were received at 9 am A.M. on the next business day.

Level 2

• Criteria for Classification: Request is a Problem Report or Question

• Time to first response: within 24 hours of request or 10 am A.M. CET the next business day, whichever is later.

Level 3
