Support Agreement

This Support Agreement outlines both parties’ responsibilities for ongoing use and support of the Licensed Software.  CollaborateMD ("CMD") reserves the right to update this Support Agreement periodically to ensure consistency with the Customer Software Agreement (CSA) and to allow for operational efficiency, changes in workflows or otherwise.

Support requests are acknowledged within 24 to 48 hours from the time they are processed, although actual response time may be faster.

Support Description

"Support” for purposes of this Support Agreement and the Customer Software Agreement consists of CMD receiving and responding to Customer questions or concerns regarding the performance or functionality of the Licensed Software. CMD is dedicated to resolving your issues quickly and effectively. We view every support engagement as an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to customer satisfaction. Support requests will be acknowledged within 24 to 48 hours from the time they are processed, although actual response time may be faster. This does not include the total time required to resolve the request. Support requests are routed to a Support Specialist I (SSI) and prioritized based on severity. During the resolution process, the SSI may escalate to Support Specialist II (SSII) or Support Specialist III (SSIII) for additional assistance. If necessary, your request may be routed to our development team.  However, the support specialist assigned to your request will always retain ownership as your customer advocate. Once your solution has been verified, a resolution to your request will be provided and your case will be closed.
