SLAs: Service Level Agreements Triario
Triario’s Service Level Agreement (SLA) establishes the standards for client collaboration, including communication channels, business hours, response times, review periods, and escalation procedures. It ensures clear expectations and efficient service delivery, while commercial, legal, billing, and scope-related terms are governed separately by the MSA and SOW.
1. Purpose
This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") outlines the operational standards, communication expectations, support processes, and service delivery practices followed by Triario when providing services to clients.
This document is intended to:
-
Define how Triario and clients collaborate operationally
-
Establish communication standards and response expectations
-
Clarify support processes and escalation paths
-
Define delivery workflows and approved tooling standards
This SLA is operational in nature only. All contractual, legal, commercial, billing, liability, ownership, renewal, termination, and compliance terms are governed exclusively by the applicable Master Services Agreement ("MSA") and/or Statement of Work ("SOW"). In the event of any conflict, the MSA and SOW control.
2. Scope of Services
This SLA applies to operational support and service delivery associated with:
-
HubSpot implementation and migrations
-
Revenue operations / Ongoing Support / AI Ops
-
Custom AI agents
-
Customer integrations with Hubspot and third party systems
-
Website Design
-
Website Optimizations
Specific deliverables, project scope, timelines, commercial terms, and technical requirements are defined separately within the applicable SOW.
3. Approved Tools & Communication Channels
Triario supports communication and project coordination only through approved channels. Requests or approvals submitted outside these channels are not considered official and will not be acted upon.

Any approvals, scope confirmations, timeline changes, or requests affecting delivery must be documented through approved channels.
4. Business Hours & Availability
Standard Business Hours
Triario standard operating hours are:
-
Monday through Friday
-
9:00 AM – 6:00 PM Eastern Time (ET)
-
Excluding company-observed holidays
Requests received outside business hours will be considered received on the next business day.

5. Response Time Expectations
|
Priority |
Description |
Initial Response Target |
Examples |
|
Critical |
Major production issue or business disruption |
Within 4 business hours |
System down, data loss risk |
|
High |
Significant operational blocker |
Within 1 business day |
Broken automation, blocked workflow |
|
Medium / Low |
Standard operational or enhancement request |
Within 2 business days |
Configuration updates, reporting |
Response times refer to acknowledgment and triage, not full resolution. Resolution timelines depend on scope complexity, third-party platform conditions, client responsiveness, existing project priorities, and SOW-defined deliverables.
6. Deliverable Review & Acceptance Period
Upon delivery of any deliverable, the client enters a review period defined as the "Acceptance Period" (as established in the MSA). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable SOW:
-
The Acceptance Period is 3 business days from the date the deliverable is shared with the client.
-
Clients should provide consolidated, written feedback through an approved channel within this window.
-
If no written feedback is received within the Acceptance Period, the deliverable is deemed accepted per the MSA.
-
Clients should not unreasonably withhold or condition acceptance.
Revision Standards
Unless otherwise defined in the applicable SOW:
-
Standard engagements include 2 rounds of revisions per deliverable.
-
Revision feedback must be submitted within the Acceptance Period.
-
Requests beyond the 2-round standard may require a change order under MSA
-
Late stakeholder changes introduced after the Acceptance Period may affect delivery timelines.
Scope change enforcement, billing consequences, and change order requirements are governed by MSA and are not defined in this SLA.
7. Project & Task Management
Project Visibility
Projects are managed in ClickUp (default), with supplemental platforms selected based on engagement type. The designated project management tool serves as the source of truth for:
-
Task status and ownership
-
Priorities and dependencies
-
Timelines and milestones
-
Action items and blockers
Client Responsibilities
Clients are responsible for:
-
Providing timely feedback within agreed review windows
-
Delivering required assets and system access
-
Approving deliverables within the Acceptance Period
-
Identifying internal decision-makers and stakeholders
-
Escalating internal blockers promptly
Delays in client responses may impact project timelines. Client-caused delays are addressed under MSA.
Project Inactivity
If a project becomes inactive due to absent client feedback or access:
-
The account manager will initiate an escalation at 7 business days of no response.
-
Escalation follows the path defined in the Escalation Matrix section of this SLA.
-
Consequences of extended inactivity are governed by MSA

11. Third-Party Platform Dependencies
Triario services frequently rely on third-party platforms and tools. Triario does not own, operate, or control these platforms and cannot guarantee their availability, stability, or behavior.
Platforms Triario Commonly Works With
Categories include, but are not limited to:
-
CRM platforms (e.g., Salesforce)
-
Integration and middleware tools (e.g., Make, Zapier, n8n, AWS)
-
Cloud and productivity suites (e.g., Google Workspace, Microsoft 365)
-
Project and support tools (e.g., Jira, ClickUp, Asana)
-
Marketing and communication platforms (e.g., Mailchimp, advertising APIs)
-
Website and CMS platforms (e.g., WordPress)
-
AI model providers and APIs
- Hosting and infrastructure providers
Operational Notification Standard
When Triario identifies a third-party platform issue affecting delivery, the account manager will notify the client within 1 business day of identification. Notification will include:
-
The platform or tool affected
-
The nature of the blocker (outage, API change, access issue, etc.)
-
The expected impact on timelines or deliverables
-
A proposed path to resolution where available
SLA Suspension
Triario's SLA response and delivery commitments are suspended when delays are caused by:
-
Third-party platform outages or service interruptions
-
API deprecations, changes in functionality, or vendor-side bugs
-
Access provisioning delays on the client side
-
Third-party vendor changes outside Triario's control
Triario will use commercially reasonable efforts to support issue investigation and workaround identification.
12. Third-Party Platform Exclusions
The following are outside the scope of Triario's standard SLA commitments unless explicitly defined in an applicable SOW:
-
Third-party platform outages or service degradation
-
Vendor roadmap changes, deprecated APIs, or discontinued features
-
Native platform limitations or product constraints
-
Client-side infrastructure issues
-
Unauthorized third-party modifications to environments Triario manages
-
Unsupported custom code created outside of Triario's scope
-
Data corruption caused by external systems
-
Security incidents originating from third-party platforms or client-side credential management
-
Delays caused by the client's failure to provision or maintain required licenses and access.
Triario's liability for third-party platform issues is further governed by MSA. This section operationalizes those exclusions from a delivery standpoint.
13. Change Management
Requests that materially impact timeline, complexity, deliverables, integrations, strategy, or resource allocation may require additional discovery and a signed change order per MSA.
Operational Workflow
-
Potential out-of-scope (OOS) items are identified by the account manager on the same business day.
-
Items are tagged in ClickUp for tracking and flagged to Service Delivery for approval.
-
If not resolved within 24 hours, the item escalates.
-
No out-of-scope work is commenced without Service Delivery approval.
Billing consequences, scope change enforcement, and change order requirements are contractual matters governed by MSA and are not defined in this SLA.
Point of Contact Changes
If the client's primary point of contact changes, written notice must be provided through an approved channel. Triario will assess any resulting timeline impact. Re-scoping obligations are governed by MSA.
14. Hour Tracking for services capped by an hourly limit
For services where the SOW states an hourly limit, the account manager monitors utilization and proactively notifies the client at the following thresholds:
|
Threshold |
AM Action |
Client Action Required |
|
75% utilized |
Proactive heads-up to client on remaining hours |
Awareness and planning |
|
90% utilized |
Formal notification with projected depletion date |
Confirm priorities for remaining hours |
|
100% utilized |
Request approval gate — no additional work without authorization |
Written approval required to proceed |
Rollover policies and commercial terms related to overage billing are governed by the applicable SOW and MSA.
15. AI & Automation Considerations
For projects involving AI tools, automations, or integrations:
-
Outputs may require human review and validation before operational use.
-
AI-generated content or recommendations are not guaranteed to be error-free.
-
Platform behavior may evolve over time; Triario cannot guarantee output consistency.
-
Third-party AI providers may modify capabilities, model behavior, or terms without notice.
Clients remain responsible for reviewing, validating, and determining the appropriateness of any AI output before reliance or use. Additional terms specific to custom AI agent delivery are set out in the AI Agent Addendum when applicable.
16. Security & Access Management
Access Standards
Clients should:
-
Provide least-privilege access whenever possible
-
Remove inactive users promptly
-
Use secure credential-sharing practices
-
Notify Triario of any security concerns immediately
Credential Sharing
Preferred credential-sharing methods include:
-
Password managers with shared vault access
-
Temporary access invitations via platform-native tools
-
Role-based permissions where available
Credentials must never be shared through unsecured channels (e.g., email). Client-side credential mismanagement is excluded from Triario's SLA commitments.
17. Documentation Standards
Triario may provide the following as part of service delivery, subject to project scope and engagement type:
-
Training recordings and Loom walkthroughs
-
Standard operating procedures (SOPs)
-
Technical documentation and implementation notes
-
Process flowcharts
Documentation is maintained in SharePoint or the designated shared documentation platform for the engagement.
