Service Level Agreements

Severity Levels

Severity is defined as the impact an incident has on the customer's ability to do business. Restoration objectives are based on the severity level assigned to an incident.

Priority is defined as the level of importance agreed upon with the partner and is used as a weighting factor when defining the severity level of an incident.

Definition

Lynn Support team prioritizes issues according to the following severity and impact level:

Severity	Definition	Examples
Severity 1 Critical Impact	The customer is experiencing a major incident, resulting in an inability to operate more than 80% of one or more Lynn services, this critically impacts their business function. No alternate solution.	No interactions are reaching the queue in the configured Lynn chat engine. The Lynn production instance is not responding.
Gravity 2 High Impact	The customer can perform work functions partially, the performance of the Lynn services is degraded, or intermittent affecting between 80% and 10% of the operation which has a high impact on their business function.	Interactions are interrupted randomly. Differences exist between the programmed flow and the behavior of it. *Some or all of the elements of the Lynn administration interface have stopped responding.
Gravity 3 Low Impact	The customer's ability to perform operational functions is affected by less than 10%. It can operate, but some Lynn functionalities are not accessible or are unstable. An alternative solution is available.	Missing data in reporting or not being able to access the dashboard. A user has lost access to the design interface or passwords are blocked.

The characteristics outlined in the table above are used to identify criteria for a Client's case severity. The severity level assigned to an incident can be mutually determined by Lynn Support and the partner during the troubleshooting process, but the team or engineer assigned as Lynn Support will have the ultimate authority when it comes to the designation of actual severity.

Initial Response Times

Our response times are based on the severity level of each incident.

Severity	Standard Initial Response Time
Severity 1 Critical Impact	Response time: 15 minutes once escalated by the designated contact of your organization, preferably direct contact with Lynn Support.
Severity 2 High Impact	Response time: 1 business hour once escalated by the designated contact of your organization via email.
Severity 3 Low Impact	Response time: 2 business hours once escalated by the designated contact of your organization via email.

Platform Restoration Time and Incident Resolution Time

Restoration time is the time a customer is affected before platform functionality and/or service is restored, which is based on the impact level assigned according to the severity of the incident.

Resolution time is the time it takes to resolve the root cause of an incident.
