  • Guaranteed response times
    The guaranteed response time can be purchased as "4 hour response time" or "Next Business Day". 4 hour response time implies that the problem will be attended within four hours, next business day within one business day. SpamExperts aims to have one (or more, if necessary) system engineers work on the problem until the issue is fully resolved. SpamExperts however cannot under any circumstances provide full assurance that the reported problem is resolved within the response time, it can only provide assurance that the support request is analyzed and attended within the guaranteed response time and worked on full-time until the problem is resolved. Reported problems should be either communicated via normal phone or through the emergency phone support and should be accepted by one of SpamExperts' support employees. SpamExperts expects full cooperation and availability from the customer over the period the support request is dealt with. Problems reported via email ticket support do not fall under the guaranteed response agreement.
