This SLA also does not apply if the client is in breach of its contract with the supplier for any reason (e.g. late payment of fees).Having said all that, Fashtronics aims to be helpful and accommodating at all times, and will do its absolute best to assist the client wherever possible.
Responsibilities

The supplier will provide and maintain the Resitab Visitor Management System and the Fleetster Vehicle Management System in a professional manner.
This includes:
- Regular monitoring for system errors.
- Ensuring system configuration is adequate and is done in a professional manner.
- A yearly on location visit to update the iPad iOS, clean the hardware and replace screen protectors where required.
Additionally, the supplier will:
- Respond to support requests within the timescales listed below.
- Take steps to escalate and resolve issues in an appropriate, timely manner.
- Maintain good communication with the client at all times.
Client responsibilities
The client will use the supplier-provided systems as intended.
Additionally, the client will:
- Notify the supplier of issues or problems in a timely manner.
- Provide the supplier with access to equipment, software and services for the purposes of maintenance, updates and fault prevention.
- Maintain good communication with the supplier at all times.

Uptime Targets
Uptime levels
In order to enable the client to do business effectively, the supplier will take all reasonable care to ensure that certain items will be available for a certain percentage of time. These uptime levels apply to items in the ?Equipment, software and services covered? table. The level of uptime depends on the priority level of each item:
Priority Level | Target Uptime |
---|---|
?1 | ?99.9 |
?2 | ?99.5 |
?3 | ?99 |
Measurement and penalties
There is a wide spectrum of possible failures, some of which are outside the control of Fashtronics and its partners and some which won?t register against system uptime monitoring.
For instance:
- There may be false positives where the offsite monitoring cannot connect due to network issues outside of the primary hosted environment
- A malicious attack such as user tampering malicious or otherwise could take place.
- Software updates may be taking place which temporarily affect system performance.
- A new and custom feature may have been published in good faith, after suitable testing, but still an aspect missed that manifests into a compromised system until identified.
Due to the vagaries involved, system uptime is provided on a ?best effort? and carries no direct penalties.
Target response times
When the client raises a support issue with the supplier, the supplier promises to respond in a timely fashion.?
Response times
The response time measures how long it takes the supplier to respond to a support request related to the website solution.
Where the query relates to infrastructure downtime then it is most likely that Resitab and/ or Fleetster will already be aware of the issue due to their in-house monitoring and the fact that the systems are shared by a large number of customers. However Fashtronics will never assume this, and will always escalate the query to Resitab or Fleetster where it is believed that infrastructure issues exist.
The supplier is deemed to have responded when it has replied to the client?s initial request. This may be in the form of an email or telephone call, to either provide a solution or request further information.
Response time targets depend on the priority of the item(s) affected, the severity of the issue, and the time of day/day of the week. They are shown in this table:
?Priority | Severity | ? | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Fatal | ?Severe | ?Medium | ?Minor | |
?Normal Working Hours | ||||
?1 | ?15 Minutes | 15 Minutes | 1 Hour | 4 Hours |
?2 | ?30 Minutes | 30 Minutes | 2 Hours | 4 Hours |
?3 | ?1 Hour | 1 Hour | 2 Hours | 4 Hours |
?Extended Working Hours | ||||
?1 | ?30 Minutes | ?30 Minutes | ?Next work day | ?Next work day |
?2 | ?1 Hour | ?1 Hour | ?Next work day | |
?3 | ?Next work day | |||
?Off Hours |
||||
?1 | ?4 Hours | ?4 Hours | ?Next work day | ?Next work day |
?2 | 4 Hours | ?Next work day | ?Next work day | ?Next work day |
?3 | ?Next work day | ?Next work day | ?Next work day | ?Next work day |
Response times are measured from the moment the client makes phone contact with a person at Fashtronics, either by email or via a mobile phone inside normal office hours of 9am ? 5pm, Mon ? Fri.

Resolution times
The supplier will always endeavour to resolve problems as swiftly as possible. It recognises that the system are key to its client and that any downtime can create inconvenience and more importantly harm reputation.
However, the supplier is unable to provide guaranteed resolution times. This is because the nature and causes of problems can vary enormously.
For instance, it may be possible to resolve a fatal system issue in minutes, simply by restarting the system. But if a system fails due to disk error or a hardware fault (also classed as a fatal issue) it may take much longer to get back up and running.
In all cases, the supplier will make its best efforts to resolve problems as quickly as possible. It will also provide frequent progress reports to the client.
Disaster recovery is covered in a separate ?Business Continuity?Plan?, which sets out an agreed path of action when critical failure occurs and a remedy within the System is either unlikely, untimely or simply not possible.
Right of termination
The supplier recognises that it provides services that are critical to the client?s business.
If the supplier consistently fails to meet the service levels described in this document, the client may terminate its entire contract with the supplier, with no penalty.
This right is available to the client if the supplier fails to meet these service levels more than five times in any single calendar month on items that are of a Critical or Severe nature.
