    The website is completely unavailable, severely compromised or unable to function for all users.
    Examples
    Website down with server errors

  • Priority 4 Low
    Non urgent requests, small content changes or cosmetic adjustments.

DX LLC reserves the right to assign or adjust the priority level based on the actual impact.

 

6 Target Response Times

Response time means the time until DX LLC acknowledges the request and begins reviewing the issue. It does not mean full resolution time.

During Business Hours, DX LLC will make best efforts to meet the following target response times

  • Priority 1 Critical
    Target initial response within 2 business hours
  • Priority 2 High
    Target initial response within 4 business hours
  • Priority 3 Normal
    Target initial response within 1 business day
  • Priority 4 Low
    Target initial response within 2 business days

Outside Business Hours, response times may be longer. All response times are targets and not absolute guarantees.

 

7 Resolution Time and Best Effort Obligation

7.1 DX LLC will make reasonable efforts to resolve incidents as quickly as possible, giving higher priority to more severe issues.
7.2 Actual resolution time depends on
• complexity of the issue
• involvement of third party services such as hosting, plugins or external APIs
• availability of access credentials and information from the client
• cooperation from third party providers

7.3 DX LLC cannot guarantee specific resolution times, but will
• keep the client informed of progress
• propose appropriate workarounds where permanent fixes require more time or third party involvement

 

8 Client Responsibilities

To enable DX LLC to provide effective maintenance, the client agrees to

  • provide correct and up to date access credentials for hosting, WordPress admin and related services
    • notify DX LLC before making significant changes or giving access to other developers
    • keep their own local devices reasonably secure to reduce risk of credential leaks
    • provide clear descriptions, screenshots or examples when reporting issues
    • respond to DX LLC requests for clarification within a reasonable time

DX LLC is not responsible for issues caused by

  • changes made by the client or third parties without prior notice
    • custom code or plugins added by other developers
    • unmanaged changes to the hosting environment

 

9 Exclusions and Limitations

The following are generally not covered by a standard Maintenance Plan unless explicitly agreed

  • large design changes and full redesigns
    • creation of new pages, features or complex functionality
    • new integrations with external services
    • custom plugin development
    • content writing and copy creation
    • marketing, SEO campaigns or ad management
    • migration to a completely new technology stack

These services can be quoted separately as additional work.

Additionally, the Maintenance Plan does not guarantee

  • a specific uptime percentage
    • specific loading times
    • search engine ranking
    • protection against all possible attacks or vulnerabilities

 

10 Third Party Providers and Dependencies

The performance and security of the Website are affected by third parties such as

  • hosting companies
    • domain registrars
    • DNS providers
    • plugin and theme developers
    • CDN and firewall services
    • email and transactional mail services

DX LLC does not control these providers and therefore cannot be held responsible for

  • outages and downtime on their systems
    • security incidents or bugs in their software
    • changes in their pricing or terms
    • delays caused by their support teams

DX LLC will cooperate with these providers as needed, but final responsibility for the contractual relationship with them remains with the client.

 

11 Backups and Restoration

11.1 DX LLC will configure and maintain backups according to the selected plan. This may include

  • scheduled full site backups
    • database backups
    • storage on the same server or a remote location

11.2 Backups are intended as a safety net and do not replace client responsibility for critical data.

11.3 In the event of a problem, DX LLC will assist in restoring from the most recent available backup. However

  • some recent changes may be lost
    • restoration may be limited by hosting provider capabilities
    • restoration times cannot be absolutely guaranteed

 

12 Security and Updates

12.1 DX LLC will apply updates to WordPress core, themes and plugins on a regular basis where feasible and safe.
12.2 Updates are usually applied after at least basic stability checks and may be delayed if major issues are reported in the WordPress community.
12.3 DX LLC cannot guarantee that every update will be problem free. If an update causes issues, DX LLC will make reasonable efforts to roll back or fix the problem as part of the Maintenance Plan.

The client acknowledges that choosing not to update or insisting on outdated software increases security risk and may require additional fees for remediation.

 

13 Change Requests and Minor Tasks

Where the plan includes small tasks or content edits per month

  • DX LLC may limit the number of tasks or the total time spent per period, as described in the plan details
    • unused tasks or time may not roll over to the next period unless explicitly agreed
    • larger changes may require additional quotes

DX LLC reserves the right to classify a request as minor or major based on scope and complexity.

 

14 Term and Termination of Maintenance Plans

14.1 Maintenance Plans are usually billed on a recurring basis such as monthly, quarterly or yearly, as specified in the offer or invoice.
14.2 Either party may terminate a Maintenance Plan
• by giving written notice before the next billing period
• in case of serious breach of obligations by the other party

14.3 If the client terminates mid period
• no refunds are provided for the remaining time unless agreed otherwise
• maintenance services continue until the end of the paid period

14.4 If DX LLC terminates without cause, DX LLC may decide to
• continue providing services until the end of the paid period, or
• issue a partial refund for the unused portion, at its discretion

In the event of conflict between this Service Level Agreement and the Terms of Service

  • the Terms of Service prevail regarding legal responsibility, limitation of liability and dispute resolution
