Maximum Response Time (MRT): This is the maximum duration from when an issue is reported to when it is first acknowledged by the Support Team.
Maximum Time to Intervene (TTI): This refers to the maximum time allowed from when an issue is submitted to when intervention begins to address the fault. This time is also counted within the fault processing hours.
Maximum Time to Recover (TTR): This is the total time taken from the start of the submission to the resolution of the issue. Similar to the other metrics, this time is strictly calculated within the fault processing hours.
Incident levels: Categorization of incidents based on their severity, impact on operations, and urgency of response. This prioritization ensures that resources are allocated effectively, with the most critical issues receiving prompt attention, while less severe incidents are addressed appropriately according to their level of importance. Client is informed that only incidents categorized as Priority 1 (P1) and Priority 2 (P2) will initiate the SLA clock. These priority levels are deemed to have a significant or high impact on service operations and are therefore eligible for formal SLA time tracking.
Uptime vs. Downtime: Uptime and Downtime are metrics used to measure the operational status of a Service. Uptime refers to the period during which the system is fully functional and available for use, indicating reliability and consistent performance. Downtime is the period when the System is unavailable or not operating correctly.
Disrupted Service: Disrupted Service refers to any instance where a Service provided by Mixvoip is temporarily unavailable, degraded, or operating below its normal level of functionality. This definition applies solely to the specific Service experiencing the issue (e.g., Internet connectivity) and does not extend to other Services that may rely on the affected Service to function optimally. The status of other Mixvoip Services, which remain accessible through alternative methods or are not directly impacted, therefore will not be considered Disrupted Service.
Compensation credits: Downtime credits are calculated as a percentage of the monthly Service fee for the disrupted Service, proportional to the number of hours the disrupted Service is unavailable. For example, if the downtime credits rate is 20% per hour of outage and the monthly service fee is €100, then for 2 hours of downtime, means a credit of 20% of €100 for each hour. This calculation results in a €40 credit for the two-hour outage.
Maximum level of credit possible: The maximum total credits the Client can receive each month are capped at a percentage of the monthly Service fees and only for the specific disrupted Service
2.5.11 CLAIM CREDIT FOR SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT (SLA): Definition and procedure. A Claim Credit is a form of compensation available to the Client when Mixvoip fails to meet the agreed-upon service levels. Specifically, if the Recover time (TTR) of an issue exceeds the time frame specified in the SLA Table above, the Client is entitled to claim credits as compensation for the delay. To be eligible for a Claim Credit, the Client must submit a request via mixvoip.com/sla/claim detailing the instance where Mixvoip did not meet the SLA conditions. The request must include the specifics of the service failure, such as the nature of the issue, the time it was reported, and the time it was resolved. The time counter starts when the report is submitted (Art. 2.5.2) and is calculated according to the provisions set in Art. 2.5.5.
2.5.12 The total amount of Credits available is calculated for each separate claim. Credits correspond to the exceeding delay beyond the Time to Recover defined by the SLA for a specific Service.
2.6 NOTIFICATION AND REMEDIATION OF DEFECTS IN PRODUCT OR SERVICES
2.6.1 Client is responsible for all aspects regarding technical feasibility and the applicability of the Product or Service to its needs.
2.6.2 Mixvoip warrants that for a period of 1 (one) month following the date of acceptance of the Product or Service supplied to Client, such Product or Service will perform substantially in accordance with provisions set out in the Quote.
2.6.3 Client shall notify via www.mixvoip.com/support any Defect in Products or Services as soon as reasonably possible, in writing and in sufficient detail for Mixvoip to be able to categorize and classify the priority of the Defect for remediation. If the Defect can be reproduced by Mixvoip, Mixvoip shall take actions for remediation.
2.6.4 Upon receipt of written notice of a Defect, Mixvoip shall take actions for remediation of that Defect depending upon the priority of the Defect. The urgency of a Defect and the time within which Mixvoip shall remedy are governed by the SLA subscribed for that specific product or Service (see Table in Art. 2.5.12)
2.6.5 The Client understands and accepts that the procedure set in Art. 2.6.4 shall not apply if the Product or Service has been altered without the written permission of Mixvoip or is used otherwise than in accordance with its purpose. Similarly, Art. 2.5.7, Art. 2.5.8, Art. 2.5.9, as well as Art. 2.5.12 will be held invalid or unenforceable in such case.
2.6.6 Mixvoip reserves the right to pass on to the Client the costs it incurs relative to Product or Service Defects that are not attributable to Mixvoip’s actions or depending from a third party, at Mixvoip's rates applicable at the time.
2.7 LIMITED HARDWARE WARRANTY
2.7.1 Mixvoip warrants the hardware under this Agreement against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of 24 months from the date of invoice. This limited warranty does not cover damage resulting from:
Incorrect handling or storage conditions;
Falls or collisions;
Fire or water damage;
Incidents of lightning or over-voltage;
Use of unapproved power supplies.
This limited warranty is void if the hardware has been subjected to misuse, abuse, accident, neglect, or modification by any party other than Mixvoip.
2.7.2 Except if otherwise agreed in writing in the Quote, the warranty period is 24 months from the date of invoice. Exceptions to the warranty period are applicable to items identifiable as Mobile devices (including but not limited to Smartphones, DECT phones, wireless devices), for which the warranty period is 12 months from the date of invoice. Any battery and or other power source device is excluded from Art. 2.7.1. Nonetheless such devices are covered by a 2 months limited warranty.
2.7.3 The warranty period shall not be extended as a result of any warranty service provided: replace or repair time shall not be considered reason for an extension of the warranty period. In case of a hardware replacement under warranty period, warranty coverage shall not be extended nor shall a renewed warranty period apply to the replacement unit, thus the remaining warranty period shall stay as per the original purchase date (as stated on the invoice).
2.7.4 Limitation of warranty: the provisions set forth in Art. 2.7.1 shall only apply to hardware that is sold as new. Limited warranty period may apply for used and or reconditioned devices sold by Mixvoip (so-called "B stock devices"). Leased devices are therefore excluded from Art. 2.7.1. Rented or leased hardware is covered by commercial warranty and governed by the different type of SLA (Service Level Agreement) subscribed by the Client.
2.7.5 Warranty claim Recover: in case a claim for defective hardware is submitted, in accordance with the provisions set in Art. 2.6 Mixvoip will proceed, at its own discretion, to repair or replace the defective unit. In case of a replacement, Mixvoip reserves the right to replace any faulty hardware during the warranty period with a new or used product that is of equal or superior quality.
2.7.6 Only the defective unit is deemed to be covered by the hardware warranty, therefore any cost that may arise out of or is in any way related to a warranty claim is excluded from warranty and is to be born by the Client (i.e.: travel costs, logistics and shipping fees, workmanship, installation, setup or other hardware configuration).
Mixvoip shall bear all expenses associated with hardware repair and or shall provide a suitable replacement, at its sole cost. The return procedure is detailed in below Art.2.7.8
2.7.7 Other limitations to the Manufacturer warranty may apply. The Client agrees and accepts that normal wear and tear and consumables are excluded from warranty and that single parts can become inoperative if subject to excessive wear. Client is informed that cosmetic wear and tear and slight color variations resulting from repairs or replacements are not to be considered as defects and are therefore not covered by warranty.
2.7.8 Return Procedure: the defective hardware under warranty must be sent in for inspection and will be subject to the Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) procedure. RMA response is subject to Manufacturer’s approval in order for Mixvoip to proceed with repair and or replacement of the suspected defective part. It is hereby agreed that in the event of a manufacturer's rejection, and regardless of the grounds thereof, such rejection shall be final and not disputable. Consequently, the warranty shall be deemed void, without prejudice to any further replacement or intervention by Mixvoip.
2.8 ADDITIONAL WARRANTY - DEFINITION OF A GRACE PERIOD
2.8.1 In conformity with Art. 2.6.2, any hardware installed by Mixvoip to provide its services, if reported malfunctioning, will be replaced free of charge, during a 1 month grace period. No travel costs, workmanship or other setup or configuration fee for the replacement of the defective hardware will be applied by Mixvoip during the 1 month grace period. The grace period starts the following day after the delivery or installation of said hardware. This shall apply exclusively to hardware installed by Mixvoip, that has been registered in a Delivery signed and acknowledged by the Client. Geographical limitations apply to Grace period's travel cost for hardware replacement with limitations to the territories/regions as defined in Art. 2.5.7.
2.9 STOCK-GUARANTEED HARDWARE
2.9.1 All Hardware sold or installed by Mixvoip is deemed to be functional and free of defect and it is covered by the Hardware Warranty (Art. 2.7).
2.9.2 With Stock-guaranteed hardware, Mixvoip provides an additional Service Warranty aimed at ensuring continuity, compatibility and performance to a higher standard.
2.9.3 Mixvoip grants stock availability for its Stock-guaranteed hardware: in case of a hardware failure, Mixvoip can replace the failing device with a unit that is equivalent or with a better model.
2.9.4 In case of Stock-guaranteed hardware failure during the Warranty period, as defined in Art. 2.7.1 Mixvoip provides a replacement unit during the RMA process (Return Merchandise Authorization).
2.9.5 Limitations to Stock-guaranteed hardware warranty. Lifespan: The TTI (Time To Intervene) and TTR (Time To Recover) obligations expire 5 years after the purchase date of the Stock-guaranteed hardware. Purchase date is considered as the date indicated on the invoice for the sale of the Hardware. Geographical limitations apply to TTI and TTR according to the provisions set in Art. 2.5.7.
2.9.6 For all other hardware that is not Stock-guaranteed, TTI and TTR cannot be guaranteed.
2.9.7 List of Stock-guaranteed hardware. Hardware from the list below is considered as Stock-guaranteed hardware. Any other device that may be present or installed by Mixvoip at the Client’s premises and that is not listed below, cannot be considered as Stock-guaranteed hardware. Hardware sold by Mixvoip, that does not fall under these criteria is not deemed as Stock-guaranteed. However such hardware is covered by the Limited Hardware Warranty as defined in Art.2.7.1.
