Maintenance & Service Level Agreement

    Last updated: August 16, 2026

    This SLA applies to clients on an active Basic, Standard, or Premium monthly maintenance plan. Without an active plan, support is available on an ad-hoc basis at standard hourly rates.

    Support and maintenance are provided by Alpha Lab Technology, a subsidiary of its parent company Genesis Global Investment LLC.

    1. Response Times

    Measured in business hours (Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm Guyana time, excluding public holidays).

    • Basic plan: Critical: 24h · Standard: 3 business days
    • Standard plan: Critical: 8h · Standard: 1 business day · Priority WhatsApp
    • Premium plan: Critical: 4h · Standard: same business day · Phone support

    2. Issue Severity

    • Critical: Site or app fully down, payments broken, data loss, security breach.
    • Standard: A feature is partially broken, slow, or visually wrong but the site is usable.
    • Low: Cosmetic issues, content tweaks, small enhancement requests.

    3. Uptime Target

    We target 99.5% monthly uptime for hosted sites and apps under our maintenance plans, excluding:

    • Scheduled maintenance windows (announced at least 48h in advance).
    • Outages caused by third-party providers (hosting, DNS, payment gateways, AI providers).
    • Outages caused by Client actions or content uploaded by the Client.
    • Force majeure events (natural disasters, internet backbone failures, government action).

    If we miss the uptime target in any given month due to our own fault, you may request a credit equal to 10% of that month's maintenance fee.

    5. What Counts as a "Content Update"

    A content update is a single batched request that takes us up to 30 minutes, such as:

    • Updating text on an existing page
    • Swapping an image or product photo
    • Changing a price, phone number, or business hours
    • Adding a blog post you've supplied
    • Small CSS tweaks (colour, spacing)

    Larger work — new pages, new features, design changes, integrations — is quoted separately as a change request (see Revisions & Scope).

    6. Unused Updates

    Content updates do not roll over to the following month. They reset on the 1st of each month.

    7. Out-of-Hours Support

    Critical issues outside business hours: best-effort response on Premium plans only. Other plans receive next-business-day response.

    8. What's Not Included

    • Building new features or integrations not in the original site/app
    • Recovering data lost due to Client action or third-party provider failure beyond our backup retention
    • Designing new logos, brand assets, or photography
    • Paid ad management or social media posting (separate add-ons)
    • Training new staff on how to use the site/app

    9. How to Submit a Request

    Send all maintenance requests to alphalabtechnology1@gmail.com or WhatsApp +592-761-9660. Include screenshots and a clear description of the issue or change.

    10. Plan Changes

    You may upgrade or downgrade your maintenance plan at any time. Changes take effect on the next billing cycle.
