2. Support Targets & Priority Definitions

The table below summarizes Fourth’s Service Level Objectives, including target response and resolution times for support requests. Our Service Level Objectives are based on the priority of each inquiry or issue. Service Level Objectives are the same for all customers, unless otherwise stated in your contract. We staff our operations with the objective of meeting the following target response and resolution times. Generally, issues are given higher priority if based on perceived impact on business operations.

3. Maintenance

3.1 Scheduled Maintenance

Fourth conducts regular maintenance for all services. Our practice is to advise customers of scheduled maintenance at least two weeks whenever feasible. Services may be unavailable during scheduled maintenance windows.

3.2. Unplanned or Emergency Maintenance

Services may be unavailable if it becomes necessary for Fourth to conduct unplanned or emergency maintenance to address a critical issue. Where possible, we will notify our customers prior to any unplanned or emergency maintenance that falls outside if scheduled maintenance windows. Notifications of unplanned or emergency maintenance will be delivered via the Fourth Status Page.

4. Data Security

Please visit our Hosting and Data Security page for information about Fourth’s Hosting and Data Security Practices.

5. Mobile Application

Fourth recommends that mobile app users verify that they are using the most current version. Mobile applications are updated regularly to release improvements and feature enhancements, and to address minor bug fixes. Any user experiencing technical issues on an older version of the application will be asked to upgrade to the current version.
