Availability

Branch customer support is available based on the level of support purchased by Customer via the Order Form. All Branch customers are entitled to Standard Support.

Standard Support

Support is available to Customer between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, local time for Customer, not including Saturday, Sunday, or Branch company holidays. Customers who have executed an Order Form with Branch but have not purchased Premium Support in such Order Form will receive Standard Support as described in the Issue Response Time table provided below.

Premium Support

If Customer has purchased Premium Support as indicated on the applicable Order Form, the Support Team will be available to Customer twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week.
Customer may request a live troubleshooting session for technical support requests submitted per the requirements above. Such requests must be submitted electronically in writing to [email protected] at least one (1) Business Day in advance. The Support Team will not be available for live troubleshooting sessions during weekends and Branch company holidays.
