Restoration Time. 

Restoration Time for a Support Ticket shall be the time (a) commencing when Customer receives a Support Ticket number from Zoom and (b) ending when the issue or problem affecting the Service described in a specific Support Ticket has been successfully returned to a functional state or operation, including any (full or partial) workarounds provided, and Customer receives notification that the Support Ticket has been updated to solution provided, customer-pending, or a closed state.

 

Restore Time Exceptions. 

Zoom may request an extension to the timeframe for any issue in Table 1 in this Zoom Premier+ Support Services SLA by submitting a Restoration plan for Customer’s review and approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Zoom’s Restoration plan must be submitted within the original Restoration Time applicable to the issue and include a date and time by which Zoom will complete Restoration of the issue. As agreed with Customer, Zoom’s Restoration Time will be extended to the date and time set forth in Zoom’s Restoration plan. Zoom has no obligation to restore the Services when the issue/problem or Service Interruption affecting the Services is outside of Zoom’s control.
