Customer agrees that the following terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) will govern the delivery of any support and/or maintenance services by Glassbeam (“Support”) listed on the Software License Agreement (the “Agreement”) signed by the Customer with Glassbeam or its authorized Reseller. These Terms and Conditions are effective upon receipt and confirmation of acceptance of Customer’s purchase order by Glassbeam or an authorized reseller (the “Effective Date”).
Support Case Logging
Glassbeam provides error correction and usage support in connection with usage of its Cloud Hosted SaaS service. Support is provided through a cloud-based ticketing system. Customers can open a support ticket either by sending an email to support@glassbeam.com, or logging a support ticket through Glassbeam’s support portal at https://support.glassbeam.com. Login credentials are required to use the support portal.
Support Priority Levels
Glassbeam is committed to providing rapid response to all support requests and reported problems. Issues are categorized at three levels:
- Priority 1 (P1): Impact is widespread. Affects all users, and/or mission critical business functions. These are critical issues causing interruption making critical functionality inaccessible or a complete network interruption causing a severe impact on services availability. Example: A Service URL or UI is unavailable, or a critical documented feature or function is not available as outlined in the Agreement.
- Priority 2 (P2): Impacts a large group of users. A work-around may be available. The SaaS service functionality is degraded. The product is operational, but only select features or a subset of end users are adversely affected. Example: A specific function gives incorrect results or does not conform to the specification; however, operations can continue in a restricted fashion.
- Priority 3 (P3): Impacts a small group of end-users. Impact is minimized due to an effective workaround or a short-term workaround being available. Typically, this category implies non-critical Product Maintenance, Configuration, or Troubleshooting requests. The customer can circumvent the problem and use the system with only slight inconvenience. It may include suggestions for new features or enhancements to the hosted solution.
There are three kinds of support programs offered by Glassbeam.

This is true especially if the issues are isolated into 3rd party components being used by Glassbeam platform. Glassbeam shall use its reasonable efforts to meet the forging SLAs but does not guarantee the same shall be effectuated in all instances and shall have no liability of any kind with any failure to meet any of the forgoing SLAs unless specified in the Agreement.
Support Ticket Escalation Process
The Response Time SLA is defined in Table 2. Glassbeam has a triage process through which the support issues are looked at every day. Tickets not acted upon within their SLA are automatically escalated. The escalation path is as follows:
- Customer Success Manager (CSM) or Solutions Engineer
- Solutions Manager
- VP Engineering or VP Technical Services
- CEO
In addition, the ticketing system generates management reports on demand. These reports are routinely reviewed during weekly management meetings.
Customer Obligations
To expedite the support resolution process, Glassbeam may require Customer to provide key information such as general description of the operating environment through which they are accessing the Glassbeam service, network access restrictions of the environment, a reproducible test case or steps to reproduce the issue, log files, trace and/or systems files. The customer’s failure to provide this information in a timely fashion may prevent Glassbeam from identifying and fixing that purported defect under specific SLA.

- Log collectors installed by the Customer and not provided by Glassbeam.
