After Ehave responds to the Collaborator Support Person based on his/her assessment of the Severity Category, Ehave will either confirm or assign a different Severity Category in accordance with the classifications contained in this Section 4(c). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Exhibit “B”, Ehave has final authority in determining the Severity Category of all problems and in determining the priority of repair of Severity Category 1 through Severity Category 2 Defects. After determining the severity of the Defect, Ehave shall commence resolution procedures. Ehave shall respond to a Defect within the time stipulated based on the severity of the Defect. Ehave shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the Defect within the target resolution times based on the severity of the Defect. Target resolution times commence once Ehave has confirmed or determined the Severity Category and communicated it to Collaborator. Section 5 of this Exhibit “B” sets out the descriptions of the Severity Categories, response times and target resolution times and support procedures.
| 5. | SEVERITY CATEGORIES |
| (a) | Classifications: |
Defects will be classified using the following definitions:
| Category | Classification | Definition | ||
| 1 | Critical | Collaborator is unable to access the Services | ||
| 2 | High | Collaborator is significantly inhibited from working with the Software | ||
| 3 | Medium | Collaborator’s use of the Software is impaired, but Collaborator is not unable to process a transaction and a workaround is possible | ||
| 4 | Low | Collaborator is able to process a transaction |
| 25. |
| (b) | Support Procedures: |
After assigning a Severity Category to a Defect, in accordance with Section 5(a) of this Exhibit “B”, Ehave will determine the escalation procedure to be followed, in accordance with the following:
| (i) | Level 0: |
A technical support specialist works to analyze and verify the problem reported in a Collaborator support query. A service number, bug number or feature request number may be associated with each query. The problem may be broken up into component issues. For Severity Category 1 and 2 problems, if the problem is not resolved at this within 4 Business Hours of Ehave’s response to Collaborator, it will be escalated to Level 1. For severity Category 3 problems, if the problem is not resolved at this Level within 24 Business Hours of Ehave’s response to Collaborator, it will be escalated to Level 1. Severity Category 4 will be resolved at this level only.
| (ii) | Level 1: |
If initial efforts fail to resolve a problem, the situation is re-evaluated by Ehave in conference with available members of the technical support group. For Severity Category 1 problems, if the problem is not resolved at this Level within 8 Business Hours of escalation to this level, it will be escalated to Level 2. For Severity Category 2 problems, if the problem is not resolved at this Level within [x] Business Hours of escalation to this level, it will be escalated to Level 2. Severity Category 3 will be resolved at this level only.
| (iii) | Level 2: |
If re-evaluation under Level 1 fails to provide a resolution, the Collaborator will be notified, and the product developer(s) for the Software will be consulted. For Severity Category 1 problems, if the problem is not resolved at this Level within 16 Business Hours of escalation to this level, it will be escalated to Level 3. Severity Category 2 will be resolved at this level only.
| (iv) | Level 3: |
If the product developer(s) are unable to rectify the problem, the product manager is apprised of the situation and will determine the final course of action.
The escalation procedures and Severity Categories set out in this Exhibit “B” are subject to change by Ehave without providing prior notice to the Collaborator. However, at Collaborator' request, Ehave will provide Collaborator with information relating to Ehave’s then current Severity Categories and escalation procedures.
