Error Severity and Priority Levels

a. CircleCI will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to correct any Error you report according to the priority level reasonably assigned to such Error by CircleCI.

b. Response time begins when CircleCI sets the severity level of the Support Ticket; a response from CircleCI does not mean the Error has been resolved.

c. If, during the Support Services inquiry process, the Error either warrants assignment of a higher severity level than currently assigned or no longer warrants the severity level currently assigned to the Error based on its current impact on the operation of the Software, then CircleCI will respectively upgrade or downgrade the severity level of the Error according to the severity level that most appropriately reflects the Error’s current impact on the Software.

d. CircleCI will provide continuous efforts to resolve Urgent Priority severity Errors until a Fix, Workaround or other resolution can be provided or until the Error can be downgraded to a lower severity level.

Response and Resolution Times

a. All response times are based on your corporate headquarters’ local timezone.

b. A ‘business hour’ means, once a severity level has been assigned, the amount of time CircleCI has to respond in accordance with the Support Plan you chose at the beginning of your Term.
