Collabora Support Program Service Level Terms for Collabora Online Lite (only) Commercial Partner Agreements

This Collabora Support Program Service Level Terms (“SPSLT”) for Collabora Online (only) Commercial Partner Agreements sets out the provisions for support services to be performed by Collabora Productivity Limited (“Collabora”) in response to support requests issued by the Partner. Unless sold directly, Collabora will not accept support requests directly from the Partner’s Customer.

1. Definitions

“Software” means Collabora Online (only) or its individual constituents, an enterprise-ready, multi-platform, binary format edition of LibreOffice, consisting of a server hosted and web client component, a mobile client(s) and PC desktop client(s)

“Incident” means an issue, defect or problem with Software involving a regression in the security, operability or availability of a deployment of Software as determined solely by Collabora. It expressly excludes new features, compatibility with third party software and document formats and improvement to existing functionality. Such improvements may be covered by a separate Level 3 Developer Support Agreement.

2. Classification

When Partner reports an Incident, Collabora will, in consultation with Partner, first classify the Incident according to its severity and nature. The following classification scheme will be used to categorize Incidents:

Severity Level One Incidents

The operation is in production and is mission critical to the business. The product is inoperable and the situation is resulting in a total disruption of work. There is no workaround available.

 

Severity Level Two Incidents

Operations are severely restricted. Important features are unavailable, although work can continue in a limited fashion. A workaround is available.

 

Severity Level Three Incident

The product does not work as designed resulting in a minor loss of usage. A workaround is available.

 

Severity Level Four Incidents

There is no loss of service. This may be a request for documentation or general information etc.

 

3. Support Hours

9AM till 6PM Central European Time (Paris, France) during business hours.

All Incidents must be reported either through the Partner portal, or by email to the address in the relevant Partner agreement. All references to times and latencies are in in business days ignoring weekends.

4. Reporting an Incident

4.1 When a potentially new Incident is identified the first step is for the Customer to build a concise and complete statement of the Incident in English. Required information includes:

  • What Software component failed.
  • The exact version of the component in question.
  • A complete description of how the problem can be reproduced.
  • Expected and actual results.
  • Document and logging data where relevant.

4.2 If the Incident is only reproducible in conjunction with modifications developed by the Partner, such modifications and associated documentation necessary to reproduce the problem must be provided before it can be triaged. If the Incident is only reproducible on hardware not available to Collabora, the relevant hardware and all supporting infrastructure must be made remotely available to Collabora in order to triage and classify the Incident.

4.3 Any documentation and installation data provided by the Partner will be treated as Confidential.

4.4 In order to provide Partner with the best coverage possible, Collabora requests that Partner identifies a dedicated point of contact who will be available until each Incident is resolved.
