Response Protocol Clause Samples
The Response Protocol clause outlines the procedures and timelines that parties must follow when responding to communications, requests, or notifications under the agreement. Typically, it specifies the acceptable methods of communication, the timeframe within which a response must be provided, and any required content or format for the response. For example, it may require written responses within five business days to any formal notice or request. This clause ensures that all parties are clear on how and when to reply, reducing misunderstandings and promoting efficient, timely interactions throughout the contractual relationship.

A Severity Level 1 issue could have the following characteristics: • More than 50% of Customer users cannot access the Software • Customer users cannot create or save I-9 records • Customer users cannot submit to E-Verify solely as a result of an error in the Software (i.e., issue is not caused by the E-Verify system itself) EWS will acknowledge the issue within two (2) business hours of receiving notification from Customer and handle as the highest priority until the issue is resolved.
2 – Significant Major functionality or performance of the Software is impacted and no reasonable workaround exists. A Severity Level 2 issue could have the following characteristics: • Severely degraded performance • Frequent interruptions in service • Functionality is unavailable but the Software is able to operate in a restricted fashion EWS will acknowledge the issue within four (4) business hours of receiving notification from Customer and commit full-time resources to resolve.

A Severity Level 3 issue could have the following characteristics: • A particular feature (such as a dashboard) is not working properly, but Customer user can obtain the same information through a report • Minimal Software performance degradation • Questions on Software functionality or configuration during implementation EWS will acknowledge the issue within two (2) business days of receiving notification from Customer and use reasonable efforts to resolve.
