Definitions
- "Urgent - Critical Impact (P0)" issues have confirmed errors in a production environment that make a solution, its features, or its functionality completely unavailable to users.
- A "confirmed error" is any failure of the Next-Gen WAF to meet Fastly's specifications outlined in the relevant documentation, found in production uses, and that can reasonably be reproduced by Fastly.
- "Business Hours" are 8AM-6PM during a Business Day in California or New York.
- "Business Days" are Monday through Friday, excluding any day that is a US national holiday.
- "Fastly Control" means elements entirely under Fastly's control and not a consequence of (a) your hardware or software failures, (b) you or your end user's connectivity issues, (c) your operator errors, (d) traffic amounts that exceed your Permitted Utilization as defined in the Terms and Conditions, (e) your corrupted content, (f) acts of god (any) or war, or earthquakes, or terrorist actions.

ESS enhanced support access
ESS includes the following additional ways to engage with Fastly’s technical support staff:
- Phone number. You will receive a phone number to initiate contact with Fastly. Fastly personnel can also establish audio and video conferencing (free app or browser plug-in required) for real-time voice and video communications.

ESS credit terms
In the event a P0 incident occurs, you have purchased ESS, the cause of the incident is within Fastly's control, and the communication or response timeframes are materially not met, a one-time credit of $500 per incident will be credited to your account.
Credit Terms:
- Requests for Invoice Credits must be made within 30 days of the incident which triggered the service credit.
- All requests for invoice credits must be made to billing@fastly.com.
- To the extent you purchase ESS a la carte and not as part of a bundle, in no event shall Invoice Credits exceed the invoice value for ESS in the month in which they are accrued.
- A pending credit does not release you from its obligation to pay Fastly's submitted invoices in full when due.
- Invoice credits will be applied to the invoice generated two months following the month in which the credits were incurred.
- If in any three-month period where three (3) or more support response time objectives are not met and the failure to meet the objectives materially adversely impacted you, you will have 30 days to terminate the ESS subscription, or the ESS portion of any bundled subscription, following the third response failure. You must notify Fastly of your intention to terminate the ESS subscription within 30 days of the triggering event.
