Bill of Rights - Customer SLA

First, we set the standard for Flexibility.
Next, we raised the bar on Automation.
Today, we're reinventing the SLA.

The SingleHop Service Level Agreement (SLA)

We have always had extremely rigid internal standards for our tech support teams. These closely monitored objectives are how we continue to set the bar high and improve our customer service.

The Bill of Rights is based on exceedingly granular goals that are completely visible to our customers.


Grounded in Reality and Accountability

Everyone can agree that arbitrary goals are pointless. We created the Customer Bill of Rights because it just made sense. We've always believed in strict and obtainable goals when designing internal SLAs. Now we're just taking that commitment to the next level. If we fail to achieve a goal listed below, we will credit your account.

This is not marketing fluff. It's just the way
we do business. My goal is to hit or beat these
numbers 100% of the time.
