Privacy:

We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of personal information and we will take all appropriate technical and organizational security measures to ensure that where any personal information is provided to us it will be protected against loss, destruction and damage, and against unauthorized or accidental access, processing, erasure, transfer, use, modification, disclosure or other misuse.

We shall not disclose to any person any personal data of a data subject that is processed or hosted by us where any such disclosure would not comply in all respects with the provisions of any applicable data protection legislation or regulations relating to the data subject concerned.

5. Support Commitments and SLA's

Service Failure Lifecycle:

Should you experience any problems with our services, you must report the failure directly to us as soon as possible.

As soon as we receive any reported downtime from you, we will perform an initial investigation and respond to you with our findings:

  • (a) advising whether or not we can identify a failure resulting from the SMSPoh platform;
  • (b) and if the failure is found to be within the SMSPoh platform, we will advise of the severity of the failure and the time estimated to rectify it.

SMSPoh will use all reasonable measures to rectify any failure in accordance with our failure correction times as detailed in Priority & Response Times:

A failure will only be considered rectified once we determine that the failure has been fixed and we have let you know.

If we determine that a failure has occurred because of the network operator failing to send or receive SMS messages, we will work with the relevant network operator to correct any problems encountered by their platform.

  • We will provide regular and ongoing updates over the course of any downtime, until resolution and service restoration.
  • We will provide an Incident Report for any material Service Failure.
  • We will rigorously analyse all Services failures to learn, and to the maximum extent possible, put in place safeguards, patches, fixes or procedures to mitigate the risk of a similar repeat event.

6. Scheduled Maintenance

In order for us to provide you with the best services possible there will be, from time to time, short periods of unavailability to allow us to conduct essential maintenance on our systems, servers and platforms. When such a scheduled maintenance is required, we will ensure we provide you with at least 48 hours notice, and;

We promise to conduct any maintenance required in a manner that will minimize any potentially adverse impact upon our ability to provide services.

Where we expect any maintenance may have an adverse effect on our ability to provide you with our services, we will use all reasonable measures to perform the maintenance at a time that will cause minimal disruption to the majority of our client base. In the event that we are required to undertake un-scheduled maintenance, SMSPoh will provide you with as much notice as we are reasonably able to provide, detailing:

  • (a) the expected duration of the un-scheduled maintenance
  • (b) the likelihood of any adverse effect such unscheduled maintenance may have on our services
