Customer Responsibilities
The Customer must:
ensure that the Software and equipment is operated by trained Personnel who are familiar with the equipment, Software and any related FMI Works documentation(including any instruction manuals), and in accordance with the operational guidelines;
in order to effect expedient determination and resolution of a technical issue, do all things reasonably necessary to verify any alleged issue before logging a support request to FMI Works;
report technical issues to FMI Works as soon as reasonably possible in accordance with guidelines for logging a support ticket established by FMI Works and communicated to the Customer in writing from time to time, including (to the extent reasonably possible):
the nature of the issue
the cause of the issue;
the estimated Priority Level of the issue (see Priority Levels below);
the steps being taken to minimise the impact of the issue; and
whether the issue is caused by something outside of the Customer’s reasonable control.
Outages
Planned Outages - we provide 5 Business Days' notice of any planned outages, eg. software/system updates.
Unplanned Outages - we publish updates in our help centre, should an unplanned outage occur.
Logging a Support Ticket
The customer can request Support Services by contacting the Customer Support Team through the support channels published on the FMI Works website. FMI Works will allocate a unique identifier to each Request (a Ticket) and respond via the preferred channel.
Once the Customer has logged the Ticket, FMI Works will apply the Priority Level applicable to the Ticket.
Priority Levels
FMI Works will assess each Ticket and apply a Priority Level based on the table below.
All estimated response times and resolution times are calculated based on standard Business Days and Business Hours.
Notwithstanding that Support Services are provided during Business Hours only, FMI Works will use best endeavours to, where possible, respond and attempt to resolve any urgent issues outside of Business Hours.
FMI Works will generally prioritise and resolve Tickets in order of Priority Level in descending order.

Response
Target acknowledgment confirmation within 1 hour

In the event of a data center outage, FMI Works is unable to directly affect the resolution time but will provide regular progress updates to the Customer
