Warranty & Service Level Agreement

Service Level Agreement Purpose

The purpose of this Service Level Agreement (SLA) is to provide a clear explanation of the guidelines for audio visual system support provided by Pro-motion Technology Group, LLC (herein after referred to as PTG) and to establish expectations for timely support. Additionally, this agreement defines the proposed service levels, and how to properly engage them. It identifies the roles and responsibilities of both PTG Customer Service Representatives (herein after referred to as CSR’s) and details the process flow and administrative functions of the program.

The support offering includes break fix support, warranty services, and customer service assistance. There are three support types separated by priority levels included in the program - Priority Level I, Priority Level II, and Priority Level III (herein after referred to as P1, P2, and P3). The severity of the issue, and the risk factors associated with potential downtime determine the Priority Level. Other factors determining a typical priority level may include the number of items in need of support at a given time or failure to a critical portion of the system.

Any questions regarding this SLA should be directed to the Manager of Customer Service & Support.

Standard Priority - Issue is in need of remedy as soon as reasonably possible. The system is not functioning properly but does impede the operation of the facility. Issue has a moderate impact on the overall technology performance.

Low Priority - Issue is in need of remedy but is not time sensitive. It has little to no impact on the technology performance or the operation of a given business operation.

Typical Example
