3. Help Desk Support
We will provide the maintenance and support services set forth as part of the selected Subscription Package. All Support is provided in the English language.
- Our Heretto Help Desk is available (via email and Support Portal) is available from 3 A.M. ET to 8 P.M. ET Monday through Friday (except national holidays).
- For Severity Level 1 Issues (as defined in Paragraph 4.1), we are available 24 hours per day 7 days a week.
- Support for Severity 1 issues during national holidays, off-hours between 8 P.M. ET and 3 A.M. ET, and weekends, requires a phone call to the Heretto Emergency Support Line (+1-315-316-2709).
- Registered users may create a Support Request by:
- Submitting a Support Request at the Heretto Support website at https://support.heretto.com
- Emailing Heretto Help Desk at support@heretto.com
- Calling Heretto Help Desk at 1-877-492-2960
- For all Subscription Packages, the customer must create a Support Request for Severity 1, Severity 2, and Severity 3 issues which should include the ticket # with occurrence details. Issues communicated to any other Heretto person or entity, or from an unregistered person, will be considered Severity 4 issues.
- Response and Resolution Assessment times do not apply to communications directly with an account manager, project manager, technical contact, or management contact, as these are outside of the Support workflow.
- By submitting a Support Request you are authorizing the Heretto technical support team to download or copy any data necessary for troubleshooting the reported issue. If you have any concerns about this authorization, please contact your Heretto CSM.
4. Our Support Response and Resolution Commitment
4.1. Incident Classification
When submitting a Support Request, select the severity that best aligns with the incident. Upon engagement, Heretto will evaluate the Support Request and may use discretion to reclassify it to the appropriate level according to these criteria:

4.2. Issue Response and Resolution Times
We commit to the following:
{{table_rrt}}
5. Recovery Point Objective
The Recovery Point Objective and Recovery Time Objective are 24 hours for all significant Service incidents.
6. Services Availability
6.1. Availability Percentage
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the Services are available (i.e., accessible and usable) at the Required Monthly Availability. If we fail to meet the Required Monthly Availability, we will issue a service credit equal to the applicable credit % for each support package as outlined in the table below, multiplied by the prorated monthly subscription cost related to the impacted service. The credit can be applied to the next subscription services invoice or a Heretto Professional Services invoice.

Term | Definition |
---|---|
Excused Downtime | The total number of minutes in the applicable month that the Services are unavailable due to downtime authorized by the customer. |
Impact | The size of the group affected by the change from normal service level in terms of the number of users or business processes affected. |
Issue | A specific matter or concern identified and logged by Heretto's support team in response to a Support Request. |
Premium Professional Services | Premium Professional Services are paid services that go beyond standard support, providing specialized assistance and consultation for requests that are unique to a specific customer’s environments, configurations, content, publishing needs, or architecture. |
Required Monthly Availability | The total number of minutes in the applicable month, minus the Excused Downtime, and the Scheduled Downtime. |
Resolution Assessment | The amount of time it takes Heretto to provide an initial assessment of the Support Request, including its potential cause, impact, and solution, and then to communicate a clear action plan which includes Customer options or planned next steps. It's important to note that Resolution Assessment Time does not necessarily mean the issue has been completely resolved. Rather, it indicates that we have thoroughly assessed the request and provided a clear path forward. e.g. Content-related issues may require the assistance of our Professional Services team for a fee; system issues will be prioritized according to the Heretto bug management process. |
Response | The amount of time it takes us to acknowledge notification of a Support Request. |
Scheduled Downtime | The total number of minutes in any given month that the Services are unavailable due to scheduled maintenance and repair. |
Subscription Package | Heretto currently supports these Subscription Packages:
*Premium Subscription Packages |
Support Request | Customer communication to Heretto via (i) a support ticket; (ii) an email addressed to support@heretto.com; or (iii) a telephone call to the Heretto Emergency Support Line, of an unscheduled or unanticipated occurrence that adversely affects the delivery of the Services. |
Severity 1 | A primary service is down and not usable (e.g. CCMS or Portal is not operating; all pages are not loading or are displaying an error message). Data corruption or data loss has occurred or will occur. |
Severity 2 | A primary service is severely impacted for a large number of users, or is available but with substantial limitations and/or frequent disruptions, causing serious business impacts (e.g. sessions are timing out for a substantial number of users, all Cloud Publishing attempts fail). |
Severity 3 | A core feature of the Services (e.g. localization, reporting) has significant disruption and is not usable, an established integration has stopped working, or data may not be displayed as expected, but is not lost. No commercially reasonable workaround exists. |
Severity 4 | Some features are receiving intermittent errors, or cannot use the Services in possibly obscure ways (e.g. slowly or partially loading pages or images). A reasonable workaround exists. |
