Fauna Support and Service Level Agreement

A. Support Tiers. Fauna customer support (“Fauna Support”) is generally designed to provide technical assistance with bugs, defects, or other errors (“Errors”) in connection with the Services. Customer must designate at least one primary contact with administrator privileges (a “Customer Contact”) for assistance with Errors. Customer shall receive Support only as set forth in an applicable Agreement. Currently, Fauna offers three tiers of Support: Standard, Business and Premier. Each tier builds upon the prior tier (e.g. Premier includes everything from Business). Business and Premier tiers are offered only if set forth in an Order Form (i.e. they are not options for month-to-month Agreements). Fauna reserves the right to change features in a tier or add new tiers at any time, provided that no changes will result in material degradation for contracted Support levels.

B. Standard Support. In connection with Standard Support, Fauna shall provide remote assistance to Customer Contacts for questions or issues arising from an Error, such as troubleshooting, diagnosis, and recommendations for potential workarounds (each a “Support Case”). Customer may escalate a Support Case using the support escalation process in this SLA (and the Documentation, if applicable). Customer Contacts may contact Fauna Support for assistance with Support Cases by submitting a Support request in the web interface of the Services as described in the Documentation or by submitting a Support request to support@fauna.com. Customer Contacts must be reasonably proficient in the use and functionality of the Services and familiar with the Documentation and agree to use reasonable diligence to ensure a perceived Error is not an issue with Customer equipment, software, or internet connectivity. 

C. Business Support. If Customer has subscribed to the Business Support tier, in addition to all Standard Support benefits, Fauna Support shall provide case management for handling Severity Level 1 and Severity Level 2 Support Cases during Fauna standard business hours, Customer may contact Fauna Support via Slack, and Fauna shall provide Customer faster response times as described in Table 2 below.

D. Premier Support. If Customer has subscribed to the Premier Support tier, in addition to all Standard and Business Support benefits and faster response times, Fauna Support shall provide follow-the-sun case management for handling Severity Level 3 or higher priority Support Cases to facilitate uninterrupted support by utilizing resources across multiple time zones. Customer Contacts with Premier Support may also contact Fauna Support by phone solely for purposes of having the Support request submitted on their behalf.

E. Submission of Support Cases. Each Support Case shall: (1) designate the Severity Level of the Error in accordance with Table 1 below; (2) identify the Customer account that experienced the error; (3) include sufficiently detailed information to allow Fauna Support to effectively assess the Error (including any relevant error messages, but not export-controlled data, personal data (except as required), sensitive data, regulated data, or Customer Data); and (4) provide accurate contact information for the Customer Contact(s) most familiar with the issue. The Customer Contact(s) shall also provide Fauna Support with any other important Support Case information in a timely manner if requested by Fauna. For clarity and emphasis, please note that any information submitted pursuant to a Support Case shall not be considered Customer Data. Unless Customer expressly designates the Severity Level, the Support Case will have a default designation of Severity Level 4. If Customer believes the issue to be related to Customer software, then the Support Case shall also include the applicable Client Software log files. If a Customer Contact submits a Support Case related to enhancement or feature requests, Fauna will deem the Support Case closed once the request has been forwarded internally.

F. Other Support and Training. Fauna also offers various support and training resources such as community forums, FAQs and user guides available on the Fauna Community and the Documentation. Additionally, Fauna offers fee-based consultation and training services via Statements of Work, which may be incorporated into an Agreement.

G. Error Response. Upon receipt of a Support Case, Fauna Support will assess the Error based on the information submitted and the definitions in Table 1 below, and if Fauna believes Customer’s Severity Level designation is incorrect, Fauna will promptly notify Customer. If Customer then identifies a reasonable basis for disagreeing with the Severity Level proposed by Fauna, the parties each will make a good faith effort to agree on the appropriate Severity Level designation in a timely manner, although Fauna reserves the right to unilaterally make a designation in good faith if the parties cannot agree. Fauna shall then use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the Initial Response Time Target set forth in Table 2 below for the applicable Severity Level, subject to Availability as described in Table 2.
