Premium Support

The following applies to Subscribers who have purchased Premium Support.

Incident reporting

Severity 1 Incidents: Fastly will provide Subscriber an Incident Support Email address for Subscriber to report Incidents. Subscriber should report Incidents promptly using the Incident Support email.

Severity 2 Incidents: Subscriber should report Severity 2 Incidents by submitting a Support Request.

Response times

Fastly will respond to the report of an Incident by troubleshooting the causes of the Incident and resolve them if caused by factors within Fastly's control, or provide information to those who can resolve the factors if the factors are within others' control, as follows:

For a Severity 1 Incident:

• Fastly support staff will acknowledge receipt of the email within 15 minutes.
• Fastly will start actively troubleshooting within 30 minutes of receipt of the email.
• Fastly will perform its tasks on a 24/7 basis.
• Fastly and Subscriber will immediately communicate upon learning new information that may be useful in troubleshooting the Incident, and status updates between Fastly and Subscriber staff will take place no less frequently than every 30 minutes for the first two hours, and no less frequently than every hour thereafter.
• Fastly staff will work until (a) the Incident is resolved or (b) the Incident is believed to be outside of Fastly's control.

For a Severity 2 Incident:

• During Business Hours, Fastly support staff will acknowledge receipt of the email within two hours or within two hours of the start of the next business day if the Incident does not come in during a Business Day.
• Fastly engineers will begin actively troubleshooting within one business day, will work on the Incident during Business Hours, and will provide status updates to Subscriber daily on each subsequent Business Day.

Charges for Incident Response

For Severity 1 Incidents caused by factors within Subscriber's control, a flat fee of $1500 will be assessed, and any time spent beyond three hours will be invoiced at Subscriber's undiscounted Professional Services rates.

For Severity 2 Incidents caused by factors within Subscriber's control, Subscriber will be invoiced at Subscriber's undiscounted Professional Services Rates.

For all Incidents:

• If the Incident-causing factors are within Fastly's control, there will be no hourly charges for Fastly engineering staff time.
• If the factors are within Subscriber's control, Subscriber agrees to pay Fastly its hourly charges for Fastly engineering staff time. If it appears likely the factors are within Subscriber's, Subscriber may tell Fastly staff to stop working on troubleshooting the Incident (thereby stopping the hourly charges from being incurred). Subscriber agrees to tell Fastly to stop working on an Incident via an email sent to Fastly's Incident Support email address. The timestamp on the email will be the time charges cease to be incurred.

Support Invoice Credits

In the event a Severity 1 Incident occurs, Subscriber has purchased Premium Support, the cause of the Incident is within Fastly's control, and any of the communication or response timeframes are materially not met, a one-time credit of $500 per Incident will be credited to Subscriber's account.

Credit Terms:

• Requests for Invoice Credits must be made within 30 days of the Incident which triggered the service credit.
• In no event shall Invoice Credits exceed the invoice value of the month in which they are accrued.
• A pending credit does not release Subscriber from its obligation to pay Fastly's submitted invoices in full when due.
• Credits will be applied to the invoice two months following the month an invoice credit was incurred.
