As used herein, “Calendar Quarter” is the three month period ending on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 respectively of any given calendar year.
2.1.1 SLA for Initial Response Times: Priority 1 Support Messages (“Very High”). SAP shall respond to Priority 1 support messages within one (1) hour of SAP’s receipt (twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week) of such Priority 1 support messages.
