Abnormal Security Support and Service Level Agreement Policy
Effective May 22nd 2024
ABNORMAL SECURITY CORPORATION SUPPORT AND SERVICE LEVEL AVAILABILITY POLICY
This Support and Service Level Availability Policy (“Policy”) describes Abnormal Security Corporation’s (“Abnormal”) support offering (“Support”) in connection with Customer-reported bugs, defects, or errors in the Service (“Error(s)”). Support shall be provided in accordance with the written subscription agreement under which Abnormal provides its Service as entered into by and between you (“Customer”) and Abnormal (“Agreement”). Customer shall receive the level of Support set forth in this Policy or as designated in the applicable Order (“Support Level”). Abnormal may update this Policy from time to time, provided that any such update does not modify any provision of the Agreement except for this Policy. Any such updates will be posted to https://legal.abnormalsecurity.com/ or otherwise made available as set forth in the Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined in this Policy shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.
I. Support
- General Support Offering. Abnormal shall provide English-speaking remote assistance to Customer Contacts (as defined below) for questions or issues arising from any Error, as further described in this Policy, including troubleshooting, diagnosis, and recommendations for potential workarounds for the duration of Customer’s subscription to the applicable Service.
- Customer Contacts. Customer shall inform Abnormal as to its approved contacts for Support, one of which must be designated as an account administrator (each, a “Customer Contact”). Customer is solely responsible for maintaining an accurate list of Customer Contacts with Abnormal, including names and contact information. Abnormal assumes no responsibility for Support Cases that cannot be addressed due to a lack of updated Customer Contact information.
- Submitting Support Cases. Customer Contacts must use reasonable diligence to ensure a perceived Error is not an issue with Customer’s own equipment, software, or internet connectivity prior to requesting Support. Customer Contacts may contact Support by submitting a Support request (each, a “Support Case”) to: (a) the support portal located at https://support.abnormalsecurity.com (or such successor URL as may be designated by Abnormal) (such website, the “Support Portal”) or (b) the web interface as described in the Documentation. If Customer Contacts cannot access the Support Portal they may open a Support Case by emailing support@abnormalsecurity.com or, in the event Customer Contacts cannot access the Support Portal or email, they may contact Abnormal Support by phone solely for purposes of having the Support Case submitted on their behalf. All Customer Contacts must be familiar with the Documentation and be reasonably trained in the use and functionality of the Service. Customer Contacts will assist Abnormal to resolve Support Cases by complying with the Customer obligations set forth in Table 1.
- Support Cases. Each Support Case shall: (a) designate the Severity Level of the Error in accordance with the definitions in Table 1; (b) identify the Customer account that experienced the error; (c) include information sufficiently detailed to allow Abnormal to attempt to duplicate the Error (including any relevant error messages, but not export-controlled data, personal data (other than as required herein), sensitive data, other regulated data, or Customer Data); and (d) identify the Customer Contact most familiar with the issue. The Customer Contact shall also give Abnormal any other important Support Case information requested by Abnormal in a timely manner. Unless Customer expressly designates the Severity Level, the Support Case will default to Severity Level 4. If Customer Contacts submit Support Cases related to enhancement or feature requests, Abnormal shall treat those tickets as closed once the request has been forwarded internally.

II. Service Level Agreement
The Monthly Availability Percentage for the Service is ninety-nine and nine-tenths percent (99.9%) (“Service Level”). If the Service does not meet the Service Level in a given month (“Service Level Failure”), then as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, Customer shall be eligible to receive the applicable number of Service level credits set forth in Table 3 below (“Service Level Credits”), credited towards extending Customer’s Subscription Term at no charge, provided that Customer requests Service Level Credits within thirty (30) days from the time Customer becomes eligible to receive Service Level Credits under this Policy by filing a Support Case. Failure to comply with this notification requirement will forfeit Customer’s right to receive Service Level Credits. The aggregate maximum amount of Service Level Credits for a Service Level Failure will not exceed 15 days per month. Service Level Credits may not be exchanged for, or converted to, monetary amounts. Customer may request the Service Level attainment for the previous month by filing a Support Case.
