Standard Issues – an event that does not interfere with the core service such as a request for a repeat invoice or minor service configuration changes.

High Priority Issues – where your use of the service is seriously affected. This could be a single or small number of users unable to utilise a key feature.

Critical Issues – typically a major service outage where all users are affected – you must make us aware of any such critical situation by phone to avoid delays.

Scheduled Service Outages

Scheduled service outages may be required for equipment service and maintenance operations. They can also originate from 3rd party carriers who are providing services to CLI SECURE.

Such outages will be scheduled well outside normal business hours. CLI SECURE will provide at least 1 business day notification of any planned service interruptions to all its customers.

CLI SECURE will notify all affected customers. It is the responsibility of the customer to keep their email address registered and up to date with CLI SECURE. In the event of emergency service interruption, CLI SECURE reserves the right to undertake the service interruption without notice. In such cases CLI SECURE will use its best efforts to notify the customers prior to any service interruption.

Service Up Time

Service up time is calculated as the percentage of time VoIP Telephony service is available to the Customer during the course of a year.

Service up time is calculated as following:

  • Service up time= Total hours for the period less unavailable hours/Total hours * 100
  • Where ‘Unavailable Hours’ is the total number of hours that the service is unavailable, except scheduled service outages;
  • Service up time is calculated for CLI SECURE infrastructure only.
  • CLI SECURE infrastructure does not include customer hardware or internet connections.
  • Target Service Availability: 99.9999%
  • CLI SECURE will use its best efforts to meet the service levels outlined above.
  • The calculated service availability will be updated on a regular basis.
