(for portal, API, provisioning systems, and cloud infrastructure)
3.2 SIP Trunking & Voice Routing
99.90% monthly uptime

4. EXCLUDED DOWNTIME
The following do NOT count as downtime:
Scheduled maintenance (announced 24 hours in advance)

5. SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Tellimon may perform maintenance to improve performance or security.
Maintenance is typically scheduled during low-traffic hours
Notice provided at least 24 hours in advance
Emergency fixes may be applied without notice
We aim to keep scheduled downtime minimal.
6. SUPPORT & INCIDENT RESPONSE TIMES
Tellimon provides global support through tickets and email.
Response times depend on incident severity.
6.1 Severity Classification
| Severity | Description | Response Time | Resolution Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical (P1) | Complete service outage, major SIP failure, DIDs unreachable | ≤ 1 hour | 4–12 hours where possible |
| High (P2) | Partial outage, degraded performance | ≤ 2 hours | 12–24 hours |
| Medium (P3) | Minor issues, routing anomalies | ≤ 6 hours | 1–3 days |
| Low (P4) | Non-urgent questions, configuration help | ≤ 24 hours | As per queue |
Resolution targets are not guaranteed due to dependency on global carriers.
7. QUALITY OF SERVICE (QoS)
Tellimon continuously monitors:
ASR (Answer Seizure Ratio)
ACD (Average Call Duration)
PDD (Post-Dial Delay)
Jitter & latency
Route quality and stability
If a route falls below acceptable quality thresholds, Tellimon will:
Switch to a higher-quality carrier route
Notify affected customers where appropriate
Apply routing upgrades without service interruption
8. NUMBER PORTABILITY (PORTING)
Tellimon will:
Process portability requests in compliance with national regulations
Provide estimated porting timelines (varies by country)
Notify customers of required documentation
Porting delays caused by external carriers or regulators are not covered under SLA credits.
9. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
To qualify for SLA protections, the customer must:
Maintain accurate account and billing information
Secure SIP credentials and API keys
Use supported configurations
Maintain sufficient prepaid balance
Comply with the Acceptable Use Policy and telecom laws
Avoid fraudulent, abusive, or suspicious traffic patterns
Failure to follow responsibilities voids SLA remedies.
10. SERVICE CREDITS
If Tellimon fails to meet the guaranteed uptime (excluding exceptions), you may request service credits.
10.1 Credit Table
| Monthly Uptime | Service Credit |
|---|---|
| 99.0–99.95% | 5% of monthly spend |
| 98.0–99.0% | 10% of monthly spend |
| 95.0–98.0% | 25% of monthly spend |
| <95.0% | 50% of monthly spend |
10.2 Service Credit Rules
Credits apply only to affected service components
Credits require a ticket within 7 days of the incident
Credits cannot exceed the monthly spend
Credits are not cash refunds and cannot be withdrawn
Credits do not apply to free trials or promotional accounts
11. LIMITATIONS & DISCLAIMER
Tellimon is not liable for:
Third-party carrier or SMSC outages
Government-mandated blocks or restrictions
Customer misconfiguration
Number rejection due to KYC issues
Delays caused by external carriers
Delivery failures due to handset/network issues
Force majeure disruptions
AUP violations resulting in suspension
Telecommunications inherently depend on external carrier networks; therefore, 100% delivery cannot be guaranteed.

Tellimon reserves the right to modify or terminate this SLA with at least 30 days’ notice.
Continued use of Services constitutes acceptance of the updated SLA.
