Support Policy

This Support Policy is made under and subject to all of the terms and conditions of the General Terms, between Join, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”) and you (the “Agreement”). Any capitalized terms used herein but not defined have the meaning assigned to them in the Agreement.

1. Service-Level Agreement
   1. Service-Level Objective and System Availability. Company has a service-level objective for System Availability (as defined below) for the Solution of 99.9% during the Term (“Service-Level Objective”). “System Availability” is the number of minutes during the Term that the Solution is operational as a percentage of the total number of minutes in the Term excluding any downtime due to (a) problems caused by factors outside of Company’s reasonable control, including (i) events of Force Majeure, (ii) malicious attacks on the system, (iii) issues associated with Customer or Authorized User computing devices, local area networks or internet service providers, or (b) unavailability of the Solution during scheduled maintenance.
   2. Service Credits. If Company fails to meet the Service-Level Objective defined above for System Availability during the Term, upon written request by Customer, Company may issue a credit in an amount equal to 1% of the Fees for each 1% loss of System Availability below the stated Service-Level Objective, up to a maximum of Customer’s Fees for use of the Solution during the then-current Term. Service Credits may be applied towards the next Subscription Term. This is Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for interruption of Solution and Company’s failure to meet the Service-Level Objective.
   3. Performance Monitoring. Company shall implement all measurement and monitoring tools and procedures necessary to measure, monitor and report on System Availability. Company shall immediately notify Customer in writing if the System Availability is likely to or fails to meet the Service-Level Objective for the Term.
2. Support
   1. Standard Support. During the Term, Customer and Authorized Users will have access to technical support via email at support@join.build and Company may also post support information at https://success.join.build. Company support hours are 8AM Pacific Time to 5PM Pacific Time Monday through Friday excluding holidays (“Business Hours”). Support does not include training sessions on the features and functionality of the Solution or training in computer skills considered prerequisite to an individual’s ability to use personal computers, the internet, hardware, or other online software. Upon Company’s receipt of a support request, Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to answer questions and provide assistance to known problems in accordance with Section 2.2 and Section 2.3 herein. 
   2. Problem Classification. Technical support classification falls into the following categories:

   2. Preventative Maintenance. From time to time, Company or its hosting providers will perform preventative maintenance. Company will provide notice prior to any planned interruption in the Solution for scheduled maintenance and will use reasonable efforts to perform such maintenance during non-peak usage hours. Company will minimize downtime during preventive maintenance to the best of its ability.
