To the extent that any terms and conditions of the agreement between Siemens and a Customer (“Customer Agreement”) are applicable to the Hosted Services and other Services provided by the Supplier, then the Supplier shall be bound to such obligations and liabilities as if the Customer Agreement were between the Supplier and the Customer and to the same extent and in the same manner as Siemens if pre-approved and agreed by inContact subject to the procedures in Article 4.0. The terms and conditions of the Customer Agreement to be flowed down to the Supplier shall be those identified in the relevant SPA, if any, where an SPA is signed by the Parties.

MRA Products and Services Final | Page 4 of 81 |
2.4.2 Exceptions for Special Bids and Request for Proposal. From time to time, Siemens may request assistance from the Supplier to provide its Hosted Services and other Services to a Customer for a specific project (“Project”) or in response to a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) based on specific terms and conditions, including price, which deviate from those in this Agreement. Such a request shall specify the Hosted Services and/or other Services and/or Documentation requested by Siemens (collectively, “Deliverables”) required, any special conditions, as well as the date by which the proposal must be provided. Within two business (2) days of the Supplier’s receipt of such a request, it must provide notice to Siemens if it does not intend to provide assistance to Siemens. Siemens will be responsible to prepare and deliver the proposal or RFP and inContact will support Siemens in their preparation. Siemens shall take the lead in finalizing all responses submitted to a Customer for a Project including, without limitation, negotiations during the bidding process and final negotiation of the Customer Agreement. The Supplier shall communicate with a Customer only through Siemens or as coordinated with Siemens. In the event that the Supplier accepts the request, it shall not team with or provide assistance to any third party with respect to any other proposals for its Deliverables for the Customer identified in the request until either the expiration of the applicable proposal opportunity with such Customer, a determination by the identified Customer not to purchase, a direction from the identified Customer that the purchase be offered to another Supplier, or a decision by Siemens not to pursue the opportunity, whichever occurs first. If a Customer accepts Siemens’ response, then the Supplier agrees, if the terms are pre-approved by inContact, to enter a back-to-back agreement with Siemens, which incorporates the terms of its Binding Proposal and which may be adjusted based on the final scope of work included in the Customer Agreement. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith the finalization of such agreement as indicated by the execution of a relevant SPA, if any, specific to the transaction with such Customer. Except for the restrictions stated in this Agreement, nothing in this provision shall be construed as restricting the Supplier’s right to sell its Hosted Services to third parties.
2.4.2 Marketing. As part of and in addition to the Supplier’s responsibilities under Sections 2.4.1 and 2.4.2, the Supplier will make available to Siemens marketing literature, core source marketing material, sales enablement material and any other materials reasonably deemed necessary for proper promotion of the Hosted Services and other Services. The Supplier shall not express disparaging or negative opinions or make disparaging or negative statements, orally or in writing, spontaneously or in response to an inquiry, to any entity or person, concerning Siemens or its products or services or any dispute under this Agreement or the relevant SPA, if any.

Siemens shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be exercised in its sole discretion, to brand or co-brand the Deliverables with Siemens then-current tradename or service xxxx. Supplier is granted no license to the Siemens tradename or service marks. At Siemens request, URL and Siemens logos shall be placed in various key places on the Hosted Services Software applications. A schedule for delivery of a fully brandable Siemens solution will be mutually agreed upon. Siemens shall not remove any notice of inContact’s ownership of intellectual property rights in the Deliverables. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SEN will have the right to co-brand and resell inContact software and services to Customers directly, and provide certain strategic and mutually agreed upon channel partners/distribution network similar rights in EMEA. InContact will not unreasonably withhold this agreement or decrement SENs ability to achieve its revenue commitment.

2.4.4 Demonstrations. Supplier will provide demonstration training for Siemens Sales SEs and SMEs through training. inContact will provide Siemens at no additional charge access to two (2) “sandbox” systems to be used for customer demonstrations
2.5 Exclusivity of Rights.
Siemens will have the non-exclusive right to resell Hosted Services and other Services globally, except where designated as exclusive rights in this Section 2.5 or as set forth under the Non-Competition restrictions set forth under Section 2.6 below. Formal rules of engagement and processes will be mutually agreed and established in order to avoid channel conflicts (including a registration process managed by Supplier). Deal registration processes will be mutually agreed upon by both parties.
Siemens shall be the exclusive distributor/reseller of Suppliers’ Hosted Services and other Services in EMEA with the following exceptions:
a) | *** in EMEA, which may continue to sell Supplier’s Hosted Services and other Services provided that Supplier will (i) reduce Siemens’ minimum purchase commitments set forth in Section 14.8 by the amount of the revenue generated by ***, (ii) encourage *** to resell Suppliers Hosted Services and other Services through Siemens and (iii) establish a registration process for leads in EMEA to reduce channel conflicts |
b) | *** in EMEA, which may continue to sell Supplier’s Hosted Services and other Services provided that Supplier will (i) reduce Siemens’ minimum purchase commitments set forth in Section 14.8 by the amount of the revenue generated by ***, (ii) encourage *** to resell Suppliers Hosted Services and other Services through Siemens and (iii) establish a registration process for leads in EMEA to reduce channel conflicts. |
c) | For referrals, including worldwide CRM (as defined in Attachment J) suppliers, Siemens will establish a referral fee process that is in line with Siemens referral program. |
d) | Supplier will diligently work to transition existing EU customers to Siemens for support and ongoing account management once Siemens reasonably demonstrates competence in sales, implementation and support of the Hosted Services and other Services. Once transitioned, Siemens will have account control and all go-forward services and fees associated with the transitioned Customers. |
e) | For current partners of Supplier in the exclusive territory, Supplier and Siemens will mutually agree to a support model for such partners. |
f) | It is agreed that Supplier will manage all accounts were an EU call center solution is required but the decision maker and service process is driven from the United States or another geography. Supplier, however, will not actively seek such EMEA accounts as new business and will turn over any lead for an EU account to Siemens. |
g) | Override fee: Siemens will receive an override fee of *** for *** and *** (except for the situations in which *** or *** acts as a reseller of Siemens for the Hosted Services) for revenue implemented in EMEA, calculated on a per seat price as if sold by Siemens. This is based on Siemens cost per Seat: i.e.- *** sells 100 seats, Siemens override is ***% on per agent price x 100 seats per month for the length of the contract. The revenue retirement will work the same way; per agent price x 100 seats per month. Therefore, Siemens will get revenue retirement and an override fee on the recurring revenue each month as long as the Supplier charges *** for the seats. |
MRA Products and Services Final | Page 6 of 81 |
Siemens and Supplier will work together for a period commencing on the Effective Date of this Agreement and for a period of 120 days thereafter to create an operational plan for the Latin American market, with the intention to build a partnership similar to that in EMEA. During this investigation period, Supplier will support Siemens in its reseller activities and will not enter into any other partner agreements for this region.
2.6 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.
(a) For the Term of this Agreement and for the two years following the Term (“Restricted Period”), inContact shall not, nor shall any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, solicit or entice, or attempt to solicit or entice, any clients or customers of Siemens or potential clients or customers of Siemens for purposes of diverting their business from Siemens, or intentionally interfere in any material respect with the business relationships (whether formed prior to or after the date of this Agreement) between Siemens and such clients, customers or potential clients or customers if (i) any such person or entity was, or has been a client or customer of Siemens on or before the Effective Date of this Agreement, or (ii) such client, customer, or potential client or customer was identified to Supplier (or any of its Affiliates) by Siemens (or any of its Affiliates) as a potential business prospect and registered as such pursuant to the lead registration process described in Section 2.5 above. For the avoidance of doubt, any person or entity that entered into a contractual relationship directly with Supplier for the Hosted Services or other Services without any involvement by Siemens, and who was never registered by Siemens pursuant to the process described in Section 2.5 above, shall not be subject to the non-competition restrictions set forth under this Section 2.6.
(b) For the Term of this Agreement and for the first twelve (12) months following the Term, each Party shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit any employee of the other Party who is engaged in the use, marketing or sale of the Hosted Services or other Services or encourage any such employee to leave such employment or hire any such employee who has left such employment, except pursuant to a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any such employee(s); provided, that nothing in this Section 2.6 shall prevent a Party or any of its Affiliates from hiring (i) any employee whose employment has been terminated by such other Party; or (ii) after 90 days from the date of termination of employment, any employee who was engaged in the use, marketing or sale of the Hosted Services or other Services whose employment has been terminated by the employee.
(c) If either Party breaches, any of the provisions of this Section 2.6, the non-breaching Party shall have the right and remedy to have such provision specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach may cause irreparable injury to the non-breaching Party in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the non-breaching Party under law or in equity subject to the limitations in this Agreement.
(d) The Parties acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Section 2.6 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Parties and constitute a material inducement to each Party to enter into this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 2.6 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum limitations permitted by applicable law. The covenants contained in this Section 2.6 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

InnovaSafe for all fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) (collectively, “Expenses”) as they are incurred in investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any claim, action, proceeding or investigation, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation or arbitration and whether or not InnovaSafe is a party (collectively, “Actions”), relating to this Agreement or arising out of or in connection with the services rendered or to be rendered by InnovaSafe pursuant to this Agreement, or any actions or inactions of InnovaSafe in connection with any such services or this Agreement; provided that Beneficiary and Depositor will not be responsible for any Liabilities or Expenses of InnovaSafe that are determined to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of InnovaSafe in connection with any of the services, actions, or inactions referred to above.
9.2 Interpleader: In the event conflicting demands are made or conflicting notices are served upon InnovaSafe with respect to this Agreement or any Deposit, including but not limited to, upon the receipt of Contrary Instructions from Depositor, the parties expressly agree that in addition to the right to suspend its performance as provided in Paragraph 9.1 (b) hereunder, InnovaSafe shall have the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to file an action in interpleader requiring the Depositor and Beneficiary to answer and litigate their several claims and rights among themselves. InnovaSafe is hereby authorized to comply with the applicable interpleader statutes of the State of California in this regard, and Depositor agrees to pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by InnovaSafe in connection therewith, the amount thereof to be fixed and judgment thereon to be rendered by the court in such suit. Depositor agrees that InnovaSafe shall be obligated to act in accordance with an order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction directing InnovaSafe to act with regard to disposition of the Deposit, or the final decision of an arbitrator directing InnovaSafe to act with regard to disposition of the Deposit, and Depositor hereby authorizes and directs InnovaSafe to act in accordance with such order of a court or decision of an arbitrator.
9. 3 Mediation and Arbitration: (a) In the event of any controversy, dispute or claim between InnovaSafe and any other party hereto that arises under or otherwise relates to this Agreement, the parties agree that the dispute shall be submitted to mediation facilitated by a mediator as mutually approved by the parties, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by either party (“Mediator”). The parties agree to participate in good faith in the mediation conferences. Each party shall bear one-half (or its proportionate share if there are more than two parties) of the costs of the mediation, including the Mediator’s fees. (b) If the parties are unable to resolve the claim, controversy or dispute through mediation, then it shall be decided by arbitration in Los Angeles County, California, in front of a single retired judge through the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service or, in its absence, any similar organization providing the arbitration services of retired judges (“JAMS”). If for any reason within 30 days of an arbitration demand, any other party to the Agreement fails to state in writing that it will cooperate in selecting the sole arbitrator, then the remaining party shall select the arbitrator. If for any reason the sole arbitrator is not selected within 45 days of the written arbitration demand, then JAMS shall have sole authority to assign one of its retired judges as the arbitrator that has experience with intellectual property law. The parties shall be entitled to discovery to the full extent provided in civil actions pending in the Superior Court for Los Angeles County, with the arbitrator deciding any controversies arising during and with respect to discovery. The decision of the arbitrator with respect to any issues submitted for determination shall be final and binding on all of the parties to this Agreement, provided, however that the arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages. Not less than 21 days before the first scheduled session of the arbitration hearing, each party shall deliver to the other: (i) a complete list of the names of the witnesses that the party will call to testify at the hearing; and (ii) a complete and accurate copy of each document the party will offer in evidence at the hearing, excluding witnesses and documents that are used for impeachment.
9.4(a) Disclaimer of Warranties: InnovaSafe expressly disclaims any and all warranties, express or implied, in connection with this Agreement, or its implementation, or arising out of a course of performance, dealing, or trade usage, including, without limitation, any warranties of title, non infringement, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, defect, workmanship or uninterrupted or error-free use or operation. (b) Limitations of Claims: No action or claim against InnovaSafe arising out
MRA Products and Services Final | Page 46 of 81 |
of or in any way relating to this Agreement may be instituted more than one (1) year after the event giving rise to such action or claim, and in no event shall InnovaSafe, its affiliates, or any of its or their representatives be responsible or liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages (including, but not limited to, loss of data, savings, revenue or profits), even if InnovaSafe, its affiliates, or any of its or their representatives has been advised of the possibility of such damages, including but not limited to, any damages from the use of, interruption of use, or inability to use any software or any data related thereto. (c) Limitation of Liability: In no event shall the total collective liability of InnovaSafe, its affiliates, and any of its or their representatives arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or it implementation exceed the total amounts paid or payable by the depositor or Beneficiary to InnovaSafe hereunder, provided, however, that the foregoing limitation does not apply to damages (excluding damage to the Escrow Deposit media) that are determined by a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction which is no longer subject to appeal or further review to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of InnovaSafe. (d) Proceedings: InnovaSafe shall not be required or compelled to be a party to, assist in, or otherwise participate, whether as a witness or in any other capacity, in any investigation, audit, action or proceeding, whether judicial, arbitral or administrative, instituted by Depositor, Beneficiary, or any third party (collectively, a “Proceeding”), provided, however, that in the event that InnovaSafe is made a party to or is threatened to be made a party to, or otherwise becomes involved in, any such Proceeding, then in any such case Depositor agrees to pay in advance, upon receipt of written demand therefor from InnovaSafe, any and all expenses that may be incurred by InnovaSafe in connection therewith, which shall include, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, disbursements and retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of accountants, experts and witnesses, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, or being or preparing to be a witness or other participant in a Proceeding.

MRA Products and Services Final | Page 54 of 81 |
3. | Services |
3.1 | Services Provided |
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the relevant SPA, inContact shall provide the following Services:
Schedule I – Technical Assistance
Schedule II –Documentation
Schedule III – Installation
Schedule IV – Joint Operating Guidelines
These Services shall be priced in accordance with Attachment G: inContact’s Price List in the Agreement.
3.2 | Responsibilities |
inContact shall be responsible for supplying the Services described in the following schedules.
3.3 | Service Levels for the Hosted Services |
inContact will provide at least two (2) business days advance notice of any scheduled maintenance to the the Network Solution.
inContact commits to providing visibility into platform status and availability.
inContact commits to deliver 99.99% availability per month for core components of inContact service, which are the services required for contact delivery. The Service components (the “Components”) are:
• | inTouch Reporting |
• | dbConnector |
• | inContact core system (the ability to deliver a contact) |
• | inContact agent or station |
The Echo service will be delivered per the SLAs as follows:
• | Echo Surveys |
• | IVR Surveys – inContact shall respond within 120 minutes |
• | Email Surveys – Should inContact fail to issue 99.5% of a specific survey set within 24 hours, Customer may request a service credit. |
• | Echo Reporting Site |
• | inContact Commits to deliver 99.5% availability per month. |
• | Echo FTP Site |
• | inContact commits to deliver 99.5% availability per month. |
For the Predictive Dialing Service, inContact commits to deliver 99.9% availability per month on Campaign Manager, Agent Dialer and Reporter.
Availability is measured using the following formula:
MRA Products and Services Final | Page 55 of 81 |
Uptime is a fixed value of 43,200 calculated by normalizing the days in a month to 30 multiplied by the hours and minutes (30 x 24 x 60 = 43,200). Downtime is the duration of an outage multiplied by a weight factor associated with the service or component.
Example: A component failure affecting 25% of the platform for 15 minutes would have a 25% weight factor. The calculation would be 43,200 / (43,200 + (.25 x 15)) = 99.991% availability.
MRA Products and Services Final | Page 56 of 81 |
Schedule I - Technical Assistance
1. | Equipment and Support for Siemens and Customer Testing |
inContact shall provide, at no additional cost, reasonable Technical Support as necessary for Siemens and Customer’s personnel to establish and verify the application, features, and functionality of the Hosted Services
2. | Sporadic Malfunction |
In the case of Sporadic Malfunction of the Hosted Services, inContact agrees to assign the appropriate resources to investigate the malfunction. inContact shall correct any problem identified as the cause of the Sporadic Malfunction in accordance with the problem’s priority as determined by inContact’s categorization for Problem Reports in Tables 5 (inContact Priority Matrix). Priority 1 and 2 problems will be fixed per Table 3 (Defect Resolution Timeframes), and Priority 3 and 4 issues are fixed per a “best effort” basis.
3. | Epidemic Failure |
Upon identifying an Epidemic Failure, inContact agrees to repair Hosted Services in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or the relevant SPA.
4. | Problem Resolution |
Siemens TSC shall provide Level-1 Support to its Customers and initial network equipment fault isolation. Problem resolution will start with the initialization of a PR, which will be tracked to closure. Hence, it includes problem analysis, severity assignment, Work Around if required, and Fix implementation. Siemens TSC, in its sole and reasonable discretion, shall determine the problem analysis and whether to escalate a problem to inContact for resolution. inContact’s TSC shall be capable of providing Siemens and its Customers with 24 x 7 Technical Support.
For remote diagnosis, testing, and problem resolution, Siemens will provide inContact with access to its Remote Support Center upon the following conditions. inContact shall agree and conform to Siemens Information Policy Rules for Business Partners of Siemens to ensure the security of the connection. inContact shall implement procedures, such as selective access, password and user id protection, usage logging, system monitoring and notification of any security breaches. inContact shall also make reasonable efforts to implement technological improvements in accordance with the best practices standards in the industry for security changes to ensure the protection and the integrity of Siemens RSC as well as other remote networks to which Siemens provides access. In addition, inContact shall also ensure that its employees comply with the Siemens Information Policy Rules for Business Partners of Siemens as well as any other relevant policies and procedures.
5. | Problem Report Information |
The minimal information needed to open a PR and begin the problem resolution process is as follows:
• | Name of the person reporting the problem with Customer contact information |
• | Detailed description of the problem |
• | The frequency of the problem and reproducibility |
• | Assign severity level to the reported problem (Critical, Major, Minor, or IR) |
• | Any additional information that would aid in reproducing the problem. |
MRA Products and Services Final | Page 57 of 81 |
Once a PR is opened, Siemens Level-1 Support shall route the PR to inContact’s TSC for tracking, troubleshooting, and resolution. Siemens TSC will coordinate any communication necessary between inContact’s TSC and the Customer.
Throughout the problem resolution process, both inContact’s and Siemens TSC shall observe and follow the severity classifications, Call Response Time, and Fix Response Times described in this SLA. inContact shall provide Siemens with a weekly written list of known Errors. inContact will participate in weekly, or as otherwise required by Siemens, telephone calls to review the Errors and prioritize resolutions thereof. inContact will also provide Siemens with weekly reports of open tickets.
6. | Problem Resolution Timeframes |
6.1 | Initial Call Response Time and Status Update Frequency |
Initial responses and status updates will be tracked and measured within inContact’s case management system. Problems are prioritized according to their business impact, customer base impact and frequency described in this Attachment E. (See Section 7, Problem Severity Classification, for explanation of priority.) Problems determined to be caused by defects are handled with a service level independent from non-defect problems.
Table | 1 Initial Response Time & Status Update Interval |
Priority 1 | Respond to Siemens within 1 hour of notification. | Every 2 Hour | ||||
Priority 2 | Respond to Siemens within 4 hours of notification. | Every 8 Hours | ||||
Priority 3 | Respond to Siemens within 12 hours of notification. | Every 24 Hours | ||||
Priority 4 | Respond to Siemens within 24 hours of notification. | Every 48 hours |
6.2 | Problem Resolution Time (Non-Defects) |
Resolution is defined as the restoration of service of a reported problem or the implementation of a viable work around. Most Priority 1 and many Priority 2 issues are caused by events that can be quickly and directly addressed. (For example, traffic can be moved off a carrier with problems, application services can be restarted, equipment can be pulled out of service or restarted.)
Service levels are based on a Mean Time To Resolve (“MTTR”). MTTR is measured monthly and quarterly. Priority service levels do not apply to issues that are determined to be third party vendor issues, defects, or product enhancements; these are escalated to the inContact Software Engineering group. As such, MTTR as measured in Table 2 encompasses the resolution time for all incidents within the specific priority level for the period of observation (monthly / quarterly).
Table | 2 MTTR for Non-Defect Incident Resolution |
Priority 1 |
4 hours MTTR | |
Priority 2 |
24 hours MTTR | |
Priority 3 |
48 hours MTTR | |
Priority 4 |
96 hours MTTR |
MRA Products and Services Final | Page 58 of 81 |
6.3 | Problem Resolution Time (Defects) |
Defects are evaluated for resolution based on priority. inContact makes reasonable best efforts to resolve Priority 1 and Priority 2 problems as quickly as possible balanced against responsible change control and risk management. Priority 3 and 4 defects may be considered for major releases. Responses to defects are described in Table 3.
Table | 3 Defect Resolution Timeframes |
inContact Initial Call Response Time | inContact Work Around | inContact Final Fix to Siemens | inContact Final Fix to Customer | |||||
Priority 1 | 1 hr | 4 hrs | 36 hrs | 48hrs | ||||
Priority 2 | 4 hrs | 24 hrs | 14 days | 30 days | ||||
Priority 3 & 4 | 12 hours | Best effort | Best effort | Best effort | ||||
Information Requests | 1 business day | 2 business days* | 3 business days* |
Note: | All days are calendar days unless specified otherwise. |
* | Final Fix for Information Requests are considered to be an answer to the query. |
* | Resolution times begin from the time the problem was determined to be caused by a defect |
6.4 | Management Escalations |
If problems do not achieve the response times outlined in Tables 1 and 3, Siemens may escalate to inContact per Table 4.
Table 4 | Escalation Rules for Missing Committed Responses | |||
Immediate | Duty Manager | Duty Manager | ||
2 hrs | TSC Director | TSC Director | ||
4 hrs | Service VP | Service VP | ||
6 hrs | CEO / President | CEO / President |
7. | Problem Severity Classification |
An Error shall be classified, by severity, into one of the three (3) following categories for issues related to Problem Reports: Critical, Major, and Minor (from highest to lowest priority). Additionally, Siemens may have IRs which are not directly related to service outages or a Problem Report(s).
Siemens may determine a specific severity classification of a problem or IR. If the Parties disagree on the classification of a particular problem or IR, inContact’s and Siemens TSC technical contacts shall endeavor to agree on the classification of an Error. In the event the Parties cannot agree, inContact shall continue to provide its Services in accordance with the Agreement, the relevant SPA, and this SLA at the same time that this matter is being escalated for resolution in accordance with the Management Escalation Procedure in Schedule IV – Joint Operating Guidelines.
MRA Products and Services Final | Page 59 of 81 |
inContact defines priority determined by a table lookup based on both the frequency and the severity of the problem as follows:

8. | Severity Definitions |
Severity definitions for Problem Reports and IRs to inContact are as follows:
8.1 | Critical (Equivalent to “Severity 1” in inContact’s terms) |
Critical Errors are conditions that severely affect service, capacity/traffic, billing and maintenance capabilities and require immediate corrective action, regardless of time of day or day of the week as viewed by the Customer in discussion with Siemens such as:
• | Loss of service or Software Product(s) inoperability (outage) |
• | A reduction in the capacity of the Software Product(s) (i.e. traffic/data handling capability) such that expected loads cannot be handled, or |
• | Any loss of safety or emergency capabilities (e.g., 911 calls) |
• | A safety hazard or risk of security breach. |
• | Incidents that result in the network or an application platform being unavailable. |
• | These include items that are causing complete outages of the production environment. A complete outage removes one or more core functions of the inContact application. Incidents that impact more than approximately 75% of agents across the platform. Examples (include, but not limited to) Core service is down; Central is down; Agents unable to log in. Major feature is not working; Real time reporting not accessible; Outbound dialer not calling out. |
8.2 | Major (Equivalent to “Severity 2” in inContact’s terms) |
Major Errors are conditions that seriously affect system operation, maintenance and administration, etc., and require immediate attention as viewed by the Customer in discussions with Siemens. The urgency is less than with Critical situations because of a lesser immediate or impending effect on system performance, Customers and the Customer’s operation and revenue such as:
• | Reduction in the capacity, but still able to handle the expected load |
• | Any loss of administrative or maintenance visibility and/or diagnostic capability |
• | Repeated degradation of an essential component or function |
• | Degradation of the capability to provide any required notification of malfunction |
• | Incidents that limit a customer’s normal use of the network, the program is usable but is severely limited and there is no valid work-around. |
• | These include items that are causing partial outages of the production environment and/or its features. A partial outage removes some features, but the overall system remains mostly intact and functional. Incidents that affect approximately 50-75% of agents across the platform. Examples: a single report is not functioning; a feature in Central is not working; a single (non-critical) feature is not working; Reporting timeouts; Isolated instances of dropped calls, echo, or call quality issues; Inaccurate report data. |
MRA Products and Services Final | Page 60 of 81 |
8.3 | Minor (Equivalent to “Severity 3” and “Severity 4” in inContact’s terms) |
Minor Errors are conditions that do not significantly impair the function of the Hosted Services. Errors that do not significantly impair the functioning of the system and do not significantly affect service to a Customer(s). Incidents that are inconvenient, but don’t preclude full-use of the network, system, product or critical features or a higher severity incident that has a valid work-around.
These include items that do not affect system functionality. Examples: Central browser application intermittent slowness; performance; incidents which have a valid work-around; reports formatted incorrectly.
“Severity 4” represents very minor incidents that cause little impact on operations or that a reasonable workaround to the problem has been implemented. These include items that are requested by a customer, but have zero impact on the system or the customer’s business needs. Examples: typos; UI formatting; enhancements new features
8.4 | Information Request |
Information Request is an inquiry for which a Customer with appropriate technical expertise and acquaintance with the product could have answered on their own. A request for information may have one or more of the following characteristics:
• | It documents an Error that the customer could have resolved independently of inContact. |
• | The Customer asks a question on procedures that are covered in the documentation shipped with or contained in the product. |
• | The Customer asks for information on the product that will be used to help interface the product with a competitor’s product. |
• | The Customer asks for help on a “problem” that turns out not to be a problem, bug or failure, but is due to a lack of understanding of the product. |
9. | Maintenance & Updates |
Product updates, enhancements or repairs are conducted during inContact’s published maintenance period which is Friday from 12:00-3:00 AM (Mountain Time for North America-based platforms and at a mutually agreeable time zone for European-based platforms). Notification of any expected service disruption will be provided two (2) business days in advance. Urgent updates/enhancements may be deployed outside of the published maintenance window if deemed necessary. Under certain circumstances, software downloads will be required by Customer. In the case of suspension for routine maintenance or reconfiguration, inContact will make commercially reasonable efforts to limit the duration of any such suspension and shall endeavor to give Customer advance notification thereof. inContact shall not be liable to Customer for any interruption under this Section 9.

2. | Management Escalation Procedure |
The information in the following table will be determined jointly with inContact within 90 days of the commencement of the contract.
The purpose of this escalation procedure is to ensure that unresolved Errors are brought to the appropriate levels of each Party’s organization for attention and action. This includes, but is not limited to, Errors not resolved in the time frames required for Error resolution under the Agreement, the relevant SPA, or this SLA; Errors whose priorities can not be agreed to; Errors that turn into design change requests; undetermined Errors; and sporadic Errors.
The escalation time frames for inContact’s management shall be determined by Siemens designation of the Error priority. This escalation process is for post sales support of Software Product(s) at the Customer’s site and is not intended for use during lab evaluation of Beta Software, in field trials, or when there is an acceptable proposal for service restoration.
After the Customer reports a Error, it is the responsibility of the respective TSC to begin the Error resolution process and to escalate unresolved Errors in a timely and accurate manner. The management escalation process shall involve parallel escalation within both inContact’s and Siemens organizations to insure that both companies are simultaneously escalating unresolved issues. This escalation procedure shall also result in the reporting of these escalated issues to non-service groups within inContact’s and Siemens organizations.
A list of the names of the contacts in Table 1 and managers in Table 2, along with their associated phone numbers, will be updated and reviewed by the Parties on a quarterly basis.
