Support Agreement Appendix
Laravel Holdings Inc. (“Laravel”, “we” and “our”) values its customers and intends to provide reliable support for its customers’ use of the Service. This Support Agreement Appendix (“Appendix”) describes the support offered by Laravel under the Order Form or other agreement executed by Laravel to which this Appendix is attached (the “Agreement”).

We provide updates regarding certain status changes with respect to the Service via our Status Page located at https://status.laravel.cloud/. Please check the Status Page before seeking additional support hereunder.
The provisions herein shall remain applicable only during the period in which the Customer maintains an active, fully-paid subscription to the Services, and continues to adhere to the terms and conditions set forth in this Appendix and the Agreement.
Customer support services for third party products distributed by Laravel may follow alternate support policies and are typically provided and delivered by the third-party provider; Laravel has no obligations under this Appendix with respect thereto.
Customer Support services are primarily available in English language. Laravel uses commercially reasonable efforts to provide support services in certain other languages to address common Customer needs, subject to staffing availability, and in Laravel’s sole discretion unless otherwise mutually agreed in an Order Form with Customer.
Customer Support services are available to all Customers during Business Hours.

Laravel and Customer shall cooperate in good faith to jointly determine whether an Incident is a Priority Level 1, 2, 3 or 4 based on the descriptions below; provided, however, that if Laravel and Customer cannot reach a joint determination despite such good faith cooperation, Laravel’s determination made in good faith will control. Laravel may downgrade the Priority Level of support requests in its sole reasonable discretion; for example, if a temporary resolution is provided to mitigate the impact of an Incident, resulting in the reduced severity of the matter; or if the Customer fails to provide the information or assistance reasonably requested by Laravel.
Priority Level |
Description |
Level 1 – Urgent |
Total Loss of Service due to an Incident with no workaround available, and excluding Excluded Events. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- Incidents impacting all Customers of the Service, with no workaround available; and
- causes production deployment on the Service to be inaccessible for all Customers.
|
Level 2 – High |
Incident causes material or significant loss of Service, impacting a significant number of Customers, with no workaround available, and excluding Excluded Events. A material Service impact is not a total loss of Service, but the Incident causes a severe issue with the Service that blocks essential processes and usage of the Service for a significant number of Customers, with no workaround available, excluding Excluded Events. An example includes, but is not limited to, an Incident causes production deployments to fail to build on the Services platform. |
Level 3 – Medium |
Incident causes non-material Service impact or Incident significantly impedes anticipated work for some but not all Customers, excluding Excluded Events, such as, without limitation:
- Incident causes difficulty verifying a domain for usage on the Services; and
- Incident causes Service integration to not function for some Customers as indicated in the documentation.
|
Level 4 – Low |
Incident impacts Service in a non-significant fashion, that has no or little effect on the productive use of the Service, excluding Excluded Events. This Priority Level also includes Incidents described in the higher Priority Levels if a workaround with similar functionality is available. |

EXCLUDED EVENTSAND CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS

SPECIFIC SUPPORT CASES

Billing Issues.
If you believe your invoice or billing receipt is incorrect, please contact our Customer Support team before filing a dispute with your Payment Processor. If you file a payment dispute before notifying us, we are limited in terms of the action we can take to resolve the matter. Once a dispute has been made with the Payment Processor, the Account associated with the dispute (and all deployments thereunder) may be suspended until the dispute has been resolved. Requests for billing corrections must be made within six (6) months of the date of the invoice or are waived by you. Terminated and deleted accounts are ineligible for refunds.
- Domain Registrations. All domain purchases and renewals are final and non-refundable. If a domain renewal is missed due to non-payment, recovery of the expired domain, where possible, may incur a redemption charge, in addition to the renewal fee. In accordance with ICANN rules, domains transferred away from Laravel must have been registered with Laravel for sixty (60) days or more. Once the transfer authorization code has been used, it can take up to ten (10) days for the domain transfer to be completed. DNS for your projects must be configured as described in our documentation. It may be necessary for Customer to reconfigure Customer’s site and DNS in accordance with the foregoing before we can assist with any related issues.

ETIQUETTE
All interactions with Laravel’s Customer Support team must be conducted in a professional and respectful manner. Any communication determined in Laravel’s sole discretion to be inappropriate, including but not limited to use of abusive language or profanities, may result in the termination of Customer Support services and Laravel’s obligations under this Appendix. Laravel shall have no liability to Customer in connection with any such termination and no refunds will be due or owing in connection therewith.
