Service Level Agreement

OnRelay has a zero bug tolerance policy, and strives to fix all reported errors. However, the service is being continuously developed, and software errors may therefore be introduced. OnRelay also has a number of 3rd party dependencies such as cloud hosting services and voice and data network connectivity, which may from time to time fail.
