Glean Support Agreement
Support Offerings
Glean customers have the option to purchase a support contract as part of their services agreement and grants them entitlement to certain Service Level Agreements and Service Targets.
Service Level Agreements (SLA's)
The primary SLA which a customer is entitled to in the Response Time SLA. Upon successful submission of an issue in the approved Incident submittal system, the customer will receive a response from Glean Support at or before the stated SLA time has expired.
Service Targets
Service Targets which a customer will receive include Next Reply Time and Resolution Time.
- Next Reply Time is calculated from the time the Customer provides an Incident Ticket update until the time Glean Support provides a response for that ticket.
- Resolution Time is calculated from the time Glean Support and the Customer agree a fix is required and the time in which it is delivered.
Support Locations and Hours of Operation
Glean Support provides Support Services to Customers from its support locations in [California, United States and Bangalore, India]. Standard hours of Operation for Support are 8:00 am until 5:00 pm Pacific time. Each Glean Support location will observe standard national holidays which will result in recalculating SLA and Service Target dates and times accordingly.
Glean Support provides 24 x 7 support for Urgent Priority issues only.
Incident Submission
Glean Support maintains a support portal which Customers use to submit, view status and update Incidents with Glean. Only Incidents submitted through the official Glean support portal will be eligible for SLA entitlement or Service Target tracking. Glean may offer other channels for support collaboration including email, phone or online chat which are not entitled to SLA’s.
Incidents may only be submitted by Designated Support Contacts as identified by the Customer and provisioned as users in the Glean support portal.
Priority Levels
Customers are required to properly assess business impact and urgency prior to selecting and submitting an Incident ticket with a requested priority level. Glean Support reserves the right to reclassify the priority level at any time if Glean reasonably believes the classification is incorrect.

Incident Resolution and Closure
Glean Support will resolve an Incident when a resolution or workaround has been provided to the Customer, except when:
- Customer resolves the Incident in the Glean support portal directly without verification
- Customer has not responded to requests from Glean Support for a reasonable amount of time
- A timeframe was predefined between Customer and Glean Support to resolve the Incident regardless of the outcome or progress of the Incident
Customer will be granted a reasonable amount of time to request to reopen the Incident should the resolution or workaround be unsuccessful.
Glean Support will close the Incident, thereby being unable to re-open or make further modifications to the Incident following a reasonable timeframe after solving the Incident. Upon termination of support service with Glean, all open Customer Incidents will be closed by Glean Support.
