Step 1:

    • If Chat with me option is not available (Tellius server down / Chat not responsive > 15 minutes), reach out to your Sales Engineer & Sales Account Manager via email / call.
    • If the previous steps get you no response in the first 30 minutes, email support@tellius.com.
    • As a final measure, if no response is received in the first hour and the severity of the issue is mission-critical, then please email product_escalation@tellius.com. This will escalate to Head of Product & CEO.
    • For non-critical issues, use Feedback option on the Help page to provide details on the features / improvements requested.

  7. You must provide Tellius with a technical contact during this 24x7 period to assist with data gathering, testing, and applying fixes.
