Appendix A

Escalating an Issue

Three primary reasons to use the escalation procedures include:

  1. To request immediate support for a major client-impacting problem such as a server or site outage or disaster recovery.
  2. To request the support of a more senior resource when a problem is not progressing toward resolution or when experiencing communication challenges with the technician(s) currently assigned.
  3. To report satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the handling of a specific incident or more general satisfaction/dissatisfaction with Service Provider service.

Requesting Immediate Support for a Major Incident

While the Service Provider may already be alerted to and possibly working on a problem, if you are suffering from a major issue such as a server outage, contact the Service provider to ensure they are aware of the issue and its urgency. This contact ensures the business impact is fully understood and ensures our technicians are mobilized as quickly as possible to assist.

Requesting More Senior Support

If you encounter a situation where the technicians assigned to a ticket are not making sufficient progress toward resolution, you may request an escalation.

  • For critical, client-impacting issues where resolution is highly time-sensitive, contact the Service Provider by telephone and specifically request the case be escalated to the next level of management. The Service Provider will then identify the right resources to engage and ensure you are connected. In cases where a more senior individual is not available, the Service Provider will offer alternatives or collect your contact information and arrange a callback as soon as possible. Please note that if your issue is not highly time-sensitive, a callback may not occur until the next business day to accommodate senior resource shifts.
  • If you are having difficulty communicating with a Service Provider technician with whom you are speaking or chatting, you may request to speak to a different technician or also request the next level of management.
  • For non-urgent issues, you may escalate by updating the ticket or sending an email to the Service Provider. In either case, include the words Request for escalation at the beginning of the ticket entry or email, then state the reason for the escalation so the team clearly understands your concern. Your request will be acknowledged and the appropriate level of management will be engaged. Use the following email addresses:  Support@AutumnTECH.com or contact Service Provider by Phone 703-724-1757

If, after following the steps above, your issue is still not addressed in a timely manner, you may repeat the escalation process and request the Service Provider again escalate the issue to the next level of management. If you have escalated at least twice without an adequate response or resolution, you may involve your Account Team via email or telephone, although for less urgent issues, we recommend at least three escalations before engaging your Account Team. However, continue to include the Service Provider in all communications with your Account Team in case they are not available.

For urgent issues, continue to escalate to higher levels of Service Provider management, keeping in mind that after each escalation, sufficient time (generally 4 – 8 hours) is required between each escalation to allow new resources to be engaged and work the problem. For non-urgent issues, your Account Team will take the next step and marshal the appropriate resources to address the problem.

Appendix B

Thin Client and Virtual Desktop Interface (VDI)

The Help Desk supports clients using a terminal server or Citrix server by connecting to the server and remote controlling the end client’s session. The Service Provider RMM server agent must be installed on the Terminal Server or Citrix Server first, and if the end client is using a Windows or Mac desktop, the Service Provider RMM desktop agent should also be installed on that desktop. Thin clients are billed on a per-user basis.

Devices

If the RMM agent is installed on the end user’s machine the Help Desk support can extend to the end user’s mobile device(s). Device support includes setup and configuration of the default email application and connection to wireless networks.

Scope Limitations

Service Provider’s Help Desk is committed to delivering a wide range of superior services to your users at all times. To ensure our technicians are able to provide fast, effective service, however, keep these non-supported services in mind.

Unsupported services include, but are not limited to:

  • Support for machines without an RMM agent installed (other than thin client environments).* If a client calling from home has a work workstation with an agent, the Help Desk will assist with work connectivity problems (such as a VPN connection) but will not support other home PC issues.
  • Network device management and configuration (firewalls, routers, switches, etc.). The Help Desk can assist with power-cycling network gear (router, modem, firewall) but will not make configuration changes.
  • Hardware-related issues (hard disk, memory, power supply, etc.). All hardware and/or equipment issues will be escalated to the partner for remediation.
  • Issues detected by Service Provider’s RMM platform. The Service Provider will work directly with MSPs on these issues; the Help Desk is not intended to be an intermediary between the MSP and the Service Provider.
  • Internet service provider (ISP) outages
  • Hardware, software, or ISP vendor ticketing and management
  • Application ‘How-To’ training
  • Any request involving more than five workstations; submit these as Tech Advantage

* The Help Desk can, however, install the agent on the machine to troubleshoot for a fee of $250 per occurrence billed to Client.

Additionally, you agree that each person listed in your account information as being associated with your account for any services provided to you (including, but not limited to, domain name registration services) is your agent with full authority to act on your behalf with respect to such services in accordance with the permissions granted, and that the Primary Contact and Account Administrative Contact for your account shall have the authority, without limitation, to terminate, transfer (where transfer is permitted by the Agreement), or modify such services or your account information, or purchase additional services. Any acceptance of your application(s) or requests for our services and the performance of our services will occur at our offices in Ashburn, Virginia, the location of our principal places of business. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, you agree that if you list, directly or by default, AUTUMNTECH as a contact for your account and/or any of the services in your account, we have the right, without notice, to remove our name and/or information from any such account or service and to replace the same with the name and/or information provided by you for any other contact associated with that account or service.

E-MAIL SERVICE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Description of Service. AutumnTECH, LLC ("AUTUMNTECH") is providing you with the capability of sending and receiving electronic mail via the Internet. You must: (a) provide all equipment, including a computer and modem, necessary to establish a connection to the Internet; and (b) provide for your own connection to the Internet and pay any telephone service fees associated with such connection. AUTUMNTECH has set no fixed upper limit on the number of messages you may send or receive through the e-mail service; however, AUTUMNTECH restricts the number of recipients of any e-mail sent by you to five hundred (500) per e-mail and retains the right, at AUTUMNTECH's sole discretion, to restrict the volume of messages transmitted or received by you in order to maintain the quality of our services to other customers and to protect our computer systems. We, in our sole discretion, will determine whether or not your conduct is consistent with this Agreement and any AUTUMNTECH operating rules or policies and may suspend or terminate your e-mail service if your conduct is found to be inconsistent with this Agreement or such rules or policies. The e-mail service is subject to scheduled (from 12:01am eastern United States time to 2:00 am eastern United States time every Saturday) and unscheduled outages that will impact your ability to use the service. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to restore the service after any unscheduled outages. Moreover, in order to receive the e-mail service, we (or our third party provider) must host your domain name record. If you transfer your domain name record to a third party in conjunction with a live web site, or for any other reason, or allow your domain name registration to expire, you may no longer be able to use the e-mail service. We will not refund the fees you paid for our e-mail service if you elect to transfer your domain name record to a third party.

Encrypt-IT by AutumnTECH Service. AUTUMNTECH may make available to you the ability to subscribe to a Encrypt-IT by AutumnTECH service. You acknowledge and agree that, in the event you subscribe to the Encrypt-IT by AutumnTECH  service, any electronic mail sent to the e-mail box of any user of your AUTUMNTECH e-mail service (e.g., Person@Yourcompany.com) will also be sent to the e-mail box set up for the Encrypt-IT by AutumnTECH  service. You further acknowledge and agree that in the event your AUTUMNTECH e-mail and domain name services are terminated, any future registrant of your terminated domain name that subscribes to the Encrypt-IT by AutumnTECH  service may receive e-mails intended for receipt by you or a former user of your e-mail service, and you agree that AUTUMNTECH shall have no liability to you or any third party with respect thereto. You are solely responsible for providing any and all necessary notifications regarding termination of your AUTUMNTECH e-mail services, and you agree that AUTUMNTECH shall have no liability to you or any third party with respect thereto.

SPAM Protection. AUTUMNTECH's e-mail service includes real-time SPAM Protection provided by AutumnTECH.com. All e-mail sent to your e-mail address(es) will be scanned by AutumnTECH.com Anti-Spam to detect SPAM and to assist in preventing SPAM from reaching your e-mail box(es). All e-mail detected as SPAM will be deleted and will not be delivered to your email inbox. All e-mail box(es) automatically include SPAM Protection and this feature can not be disabled or configured by you. You acknowledge and agree that our SPAM Protection feature is not guaranteed to be one hundred percent (100%) effective or error free and may result in e-mail that is not SPAM being falsely identified as SPAM and deleted by our system, or the delivery of SPAM to your e-mail box(es). You acknowledge and agree that AUTUMNTECH shall have no liability to you or any third party with respect to our SPAM Protection feature, your failure to receive any e-mail as a result thereof, or your receipt of SPAM.  Included in your dedicated server hosting, you will have all other features that may be offered by SpamRejection.com including reporting and other features without paying separate subscription fees.

Virus Protection. AUTUMNTECH's e-mail service includes Virus Protection that scans your email, and attachments thereto, to assist in the prevention of the transmission of viruses to your computer system and/or e-mail program. All e-mail sent to your e-mail address(es) will be scanned for viruses. If a virus is detected, the e-mail message and/or attachment, as applicable, will be deleted and will not be delivered to your email inbox.  All e-mail box(es) automatically include Virus Protection and this feature cannot be disabled or configured by you. You acknowledge and agree that our Virus Protection feature is not guaranteed to be one hundred percent (100%) effective or error free and may delete e-mail messages and/or attachments that you may desire to view, or allow the transmission of viruses to your computer system and/or e-mail program.

Additional Storage. AUTUMNTECH may make available to you the ability to purchase additional storage for a particular e-mail box in the specific increments described on our Web site. The additional storage will be attributed to the e-mail box designated by you during the application process, and your designation cannot be changed once made. The term of the additional storage services will run concurrently with the then-remaining term of the domain name to which the designated e-mail box(es) is/are associated, and the price of the additional storage services will be prorated accordingly (unless the designated e-mail box(es) is/are associated with a domain name that is part of a monthly service, in which case the monthly price will be added to the monthly invoices for that monthly service). Termination or transfer of the domain name registration associated with the e-mail box(es) to which the additional storage is/are attributed will result in the termination of both the e-mail box(es) and any related additional storage services, and such termination shall be without refund of any fees paid. Unless provided otherwise on our Web site, in no event may a customer have more than 100 Megabytes of total data storage.

Billing for E-mail Service. Billing for e-mail services shall be by valid credit card (acceptable to AUTUMNTECH) at the time of purchase or by purchase order and paid by check with approval. If you elect to subscribe to monthly e-mail services, your monthly payments for the same will be automatically charged to the credit card provided by you (and acceptable to AUTUMNTECH) at the time of your purchase (with such payments being charged in advance on a monthly basis) ("Monthly E-mail Service Fee"), and you hereby agree that AUTUMNTECH is authorized to so charge your credit card. AUTUMNTECH, in its sole discretion, shall determine the prices it will charge for the e-mail services, and the terms and conditions applicable to the same, and AUTUMNTECH may, upon providing thirty (30) days' notice to you, amend such pricing and/or terms and conditions. If you do not agree with any such change(s), you may terminate this Agreement or cancel your e-mail service subscription, as applicable, as provided herein, within such thirty (30) day period; otherwise all such changes shall thereafter be effective with respect to your account, and you agree that we are authorized to charge your credit card for any new Monthly e-mail Service fee.
