1 The response times are estimates only and shall not be considered a representation or warranty under any agreement the customer may have with BlackBerry including the Business Services by BlackBerry Terms, or this Program Description. Service Level Objectives may change at any time. 2 My BlackBerry availability is subject to maintenance and technical requirements. 3 It is our goal to answer telephone calls within an average of 90 seconds 80% of the time. This is not a service level guarantee.

3. Response and Escalation Policy

Process When organizations contact the BlackBerry Technical Support team, a support ticket is initiated. Each support ticket is assigned a unique support ticket number which the BlackBerry Technical Support team uses to track the issue from initiation to resolution. The support ticket number will be provided either at the end of a call with a BlackBerry Technical Support representative or via an automated email message receipt when contacting BlackBerry Technical Support through myAccount. Organizations must refer to this support ticket number for all communications relating to that specific issue.

Problem Definition All requests for support are initially deemed to be ‘problems’ by the BlackBerry Technical Support team. When a problem is reported, organizations indicate its impact to their organization in an attempt to assist the assigned BlackBerry Technical Support representative to classify the problem’s severity.

Problem classifications are outlined in the table below:

Page 6: BBM Meetings Advantage Administrator Support - BlackBerry · BBM Meetings Advantage Administrator Support Program Description . NOTE: ... BBM Meetings is a subscription service that

Severity Action

Critical A Critical incident is determined solely by BlackBerry and is defined as a problem that causes a total loss of service for which no procedural workaround exists. The problem severely affects the customer’s ability to conduct business. Note: Our support teams may be paged twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week for Critical problems and the Major Incident Management Team may be engaged; customers must agree to be available for engagement 24x7 until relief has been provided.

Serious A Serious incident is determined solely by BlackBerry and is defined as a problem that causes a severe degradation of service to BlackBerry customers. A customer’s key business process is impaired but not disabled. Customer can continue their operations, but in a restricted fashion.

Normal A Normal incident is defined as a problem that has slightly compromised the ability of a customer to conduct business. The customer’s productivity loss is minor. The situation may be temporarily circumvented with an established work-around.

Low A Low incident is defined as a problem that has marginally (or not) compromised the ability of a customer to conduct business. The productivity loss is insignificant. This may include a request for service, enhancement, or "how to" request. There is little or no risk of customer impact.

Note: Severity classifications may be updated during the lifecycle of a problem being worked on by the BlackBerry Technical Support team if the impact to the customer changes. The severity classification will be assigned by BlackBerry, in BlackBerry’s sole discretion.

The BlackBerry Technical Support team sets response time targets based on the method of access. The response time targets are outlined in the following table.

Method of Access Response Time Targets

Telephone BlackBerry Technical Support representatives strive to answer eighty percent (80%) of all incoming telephone inquiries within ninety (90) seconds.2

myAccount BlackBerry Technical Support representatives will strive to meet the following response time targets2 for incidents submitted electronically via My BlackBerry: BBM Meetings Administrator Advantage Support - two (2) hours
