The Availability Service Level is calculated by determining the total time in minutes for a month, subtracting all planned maintenance time, and then dividing all unplanned downtime of the Subscription Services by the remaining time and subtracting from one. StarTex’s obligations with respect to the Availability Service Level are in effect during all hours of operation, except during planned maintenance windows and any approved additional maintenance windows scheduled by StarTex.
    • StarTex will notify Customer at least 3 days in advance of any additional planned maintenance occurring outside of the standard maintenance window and make efforts to accommodate Customer’s needs regarding the additional maintenance requirement. StarTex will provide Customer as much notice as possible when unplanned (“Emergency”) maintenance occurs.
    • Service requests must be submitted via web portal, e-mail or telephone.
    • StarTex will not be responsible for any hardware-related issues related to older mobile devices. We publish minimum recommended hardware specifications, StarTex will not be responsible for supporting poor performance on older, less performant devices.
