3 24/7 Support: The dedicated 24-hour technical assistance number allows for the reporting of up to 5 incidents per support year. Once the support ticket is received, we will respond within 4 hours. However, unlimited tickets can still be reported using other forms of support (email, phone, ticket request system). These regular tickets are resolved only during business hours. It’s up to the client to decide how important the ticket is and what reporting tool should be used.
