DigitalStakeout Support Policy

DigitalStakeout Support Policy

Getting Support

DigitalStakeout's policy is to acknowledge all DigitalStakeout customer as quickly as possible. An incident ticket is assigned a priority based on the nature of the issue.

What Qualifies as Support vs Services

Support issues are matters that relate to the expected functionality of the product, finding how-to documentation, or asking a direct question related to a feature or function in the documentation.

Functionality Example: I am trying to save a monitor, and the window & modal is hanging and it will not close.
Functionality Example: I am trying to export a result and the export is taking too long and hanging.
How-to Example: Q: How do I create a monitor for tracking mentions for my brand? A: Please follow X documentation or video to create a monitor.

In some cases, a member of the support team will ask for a call or web conference call to be able to visually see an issue. This support time is not for receiving configuration assistance. It is solely for a team member to see and attempt to re-create a problem to determine a root cause to your problem.

Services Are Not Support

If you need direct assistance to create, edit or configure any aspect of the product, this is considered service time. If you cannot follow the documentation to perform a task in a product, this is considered Service time.  Each plan is entitled to on-boarding & setup time. Any customer that requires Service time that exceeds the following window of time will have to purchase additional pre-paid Service time in 4 hour buckets or purchase product training that will be performed in a controlled environment.

On-board & Setup Service Time by Plan Type

Starter Plans: 1 hour

Pro Plans: 2 hours

Enterprise Plans: 4 hours or specified in agreement

How Support Works

Agreement to a different frequency on a ticket/request must be in writing in the Customer's Service Agreement. This Service Level Agreement is only applicable to DigitalStakeout customers in current standing or do not exceed 30 days of past-due billing.

Officially, support is provided from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time), for DigitalStakeout business days which are defined as Monday through Friday of a calendar week excluding DigitalStakeout holidays.

Customers can request support at ANY time, as every member of the DigitalStakeout team is watching for tickets. We'll do our best to resolve your issue as soon as possible!

Trouble/request tickets must be opened in one of the following ways:

Issue Response and Resolution Times
