This Service Level Agreement outlines the standards, response times, and commitments Black Tiger Digital provides to clients based on their monthly investment tier.

We believe in transparency and accountability. These are not aspirational goals. They are the standards we hold ourselves to every day.

Uptime Target

What This Means

  • Maximum 43 minutes of unplanned downtime per month
  • Proactive monitoring 24/7
  • Automatic alerts and rapid response

Uptime Measurement

Uptime is measured from the first day of each calendar month to the last. We use third-party monitoring tools to track availability and response times.

Scheduled Maintenance: Planned maintenance windows are not counted against uptime. We schedule maintenance during low-traffic hours and provide advance notice when possible.

Response Times

Response time is measured from when you submit a support request to when we acknowledge and begin addressing it. Resolution time varies based on complexity.
