TR7 operates a structured escalation process to ensure timely resolution:
Level 1 — Support Engineer: Initial triage, diagnostics, and resolution of known issues. Target: within the defined FRT.
Level 2 — Senior Engineer: Escalated if unresolved within 2x the initial response time. Deep technical investigation and root cause analysis.
Level 3 — Engineering Lead / R&D: Escalated if unresolved within 4x the initial response time. Direct involvement of product engineering team.
Management Escalation: Available at any time upon Customer request. Direct access to TR7 management for critical issues.
Elite Support: Dedicated Technical Account Manager (TAM), direct phone line to senior engineers, emergency hotline access 24/7/365. Severity 1 issues are assigned a dedicated engineer who remains with the issue until resolution.
Premium Support: Dedicated TAM, direct access to experienced engineers, semi-annual business reviews.
Partner Support: If partner response times are not met, TR7 direct intervention is triggered as a quality assurance mechanism.
5. Service Credits
If TR7 fails to meet the applicable uptime commitment in any calendar month, the Customer is entitled to request service credits as follows:
99.0% – 99.9% uptime: 5% credit of monthly service fee
95.0% – 98.99% uptime: 10% credit of monthly service fee
90.0% – 94.99% uptime: 25% credit of monthly service fee
Below 90.0% uptime: 30% credit of monthly service fee
Service credits must be requested in writing within fifteen (15) days of the end of the affected month. Credits are applied against future invoices only and are non-refundable. Total service credits in any calendar month shall not exceed 30% of the monthly service fee for that month. Service credits constitute the Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for any failure to meet the uptime commitments set out in this SLA. Service credits shall not be cumulative across multiple months.
6. Exclusions
The following are excluded from SLA calculations and do not qualify for service credits:
- Scheduled maintenance windows communicated at least 48 hours in advance.
- Downtime caused by factors outside TR7's reasonable control, including force majeure events, internet service provider failures, or third-party infrastructure issues.
- Downtime resulting from the Customer's actions, configurations, or failure to follow TR7's recommendations.

- Denial-of-service attacks or other malicious activity directed at the Customer's infrastructure.
