General

Tessell operates 24/7/365 monitoring on the Database Services and Tessell's personnel will be automatically alerted on any service anomalies. Tessell's personnel will commence work on any issues in system operations requiring manual intervention without delay.

Tessell provides Standard support without separate charge for regular subscriptions (which includes all service plans) through Tessell GUI, chat and email regarding problems related to using and accessing the Tessell Database Services. Responses are provided on a best-effort basis during the same or next business day.
