  Request: Coverage window; Minimum condition; Contract options and notice; Current price and charging unit; Team model; Team / operations country for this service
  Clarify: Helpdesk coverage is either 24x7x365 or 08:00-20:00 Eastern, Monday-Friday, as agreed. Email and HDC ticket submission remain available 24x7; submission availability does not determine the purchased staffed window.
  Source / checked: https://images.sherweb.com/legal/helpdesk-service-documentation.pdf#page=7 / 2026-10-17
  Clarify: The published service schedule states a 12-month minimum from service commencement. Convenience termination before it ends leaves fees for the remaining minimum term payable. Confirm the incorporated schedule and order.
  Source / checked: https://images.sherweb.com/legal/helpdesk-service-schedule.pdf#page=2 / 2026-10-17
  Clarify: Helpdesk pricing is offered per seat, per ticket or through a dedicated model. No numeric rate, included ticket quantity or complete setup-fee schedule is stated on the reviewed service page.
  Source / checked: https://www.sherweb.com/partner-services/helpdesk / 2026-10-17
  Clarify: A dedicated helpdesk model is advertised alongside per-seat or per-ticket invoicing. Obtain the allocation, shift hours and backfill arrangements for that model.
  Source / checked: https://www.sherweb.com/partner-services/helpdesk / 2026-10-17
  Clarify: The helpdesk SOW locates phone personnel in Canada or the United States. A linked 2024 product sheet also advertises an offshore option without countries; confirm the purchased model and locations for each channel and data flow.

  Source / checked: https://images.sherweb.com/sherweb-helpdesk-product-sheet-en.pdf / 2026-10-17
  Clarify: The helpdesk SOW defines Tier-1 support, while the service page advertises L1-L2. It permits reassignment when work is out of scope, documentation is insufficient or resolution is expected to exceed 30 minutes. Agree the purchased support tier and escalation boundary.

  Source / checked: https://www.sherweb.com/partner-services/helpdesk / 2026-10-17
  Clarify: HDC ticket activity is mirrored in Sherweb internal ticketing. Its documentation instance synchronizes IT Glue, Hudu or SyncMonkey; if synchronization is unavailable, the SOW calls for access credentials. Agree which copy contains approvals, complete history and handover exports.
  Source / checked: https://images.sherweb.com/legal/helpdesk-service-documentation.pdf#page=3 / 2026-10-17
  Source / checked: https://images.sherweb.com/legal/helpdesk-service-documentation.pdf#page=7 / 2026-10-17
  Clarify: Helpdesk targets include 80% of phone calls answered within 90 seconds and 80% of email/API replies within four hours, with a five-ticket monthly minimum for that objective. The SOW calls these objectives, with no compensation for misses; they are not measured performance or a resolution guarantee.
  Source / checked: https://images.sherweb.com/legal/helpdesk-service-documentation.pdf#page=7 / 2026-10-17
  Clarify: The schedule makes termination effective on the last day of the month after the month when notice is received. The minimum term and remaining-fee conditions still apply; this is not a fixed 30-day exit promise.
  Source / checked: https://images.sherweb.com/legal/helpdesk-service-schedule.pdf#page=2 / 2026-10-17
  Clarify: The schedules describe monitoring and recording of service communications, with 90 calendar days of active retention and up to one year of archive retention. They place end-user information and consent responsibilities with the buyer; settle the applicable data flow and retention arrangements before launch.

  Source / checked: https://images.sherweb.com/legal/noc-service-schedule.pdf#page=2 / 2026-10-17
  Clarify: Contracted unit decreases are allowed only after the minimum term. Reductions above 25% through 50% need 30 calendar days of notice; above 50% through 75% need 60; above 75% need 90. Obtain the rule for the exact reduction, including changes at or below 25%.
