Support hours and languages
Actual support hours may vary for specific CheckMAL Inc. subsidiaries or local service delivery partners.
CheckMAL Inc. provides standard support services in English, Korean and other languages supported by local subsidiaries and/or service delivery partners.
Local subsidiaries and/or service delivery partners will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide language support during regional business hours, based on available resources. A specific response time is not guaranteed within Standard Support. Commitments to a particular response time can be provided as part of a paid service.

Incident Management
CheckMAL Inc. will take commercially reasonable efforts to manage an Incident and address the Customer’s case according to the relative priority in the general queue of all CheckMAL Inc. customer requests.
For Consumers, all Incidents have the same priority and are processed one by one in the order of their arrival.
For Corporate Customers, an Incident gets priority based on the following criteria:
- “High” priority shall mean an Application problem which affects the Customer’s business continuity due to interruptions in the Application’s normal functioning and which causes the Application(s) or operating system to crash, or which causes data loss, changes default settings to insecure values, or security issues, provided that there is no workaround available.
- “Medium” priority shall mean an issue which affects Application functionality but does not cause data corruption/loss or software to crash. A “high” priority level is re-classified to a “medium” priority level when a workaround is available.
- “Low” priority shall mean a request for new functionality, or a service request, which does not affect Application functionality.
For Corporate Customers with extended and premium technical support, incidents are prioritized and handled according to the terms of the extended and premium technical support agreements.
All Incidents sent for resolution to CheckMAL Inc. Technical Support will be assigned “pending” status while waiting for the Customer’s confirmation that it is resolved. If incident resolution is not confirmed within a specified period of time (varies for specific CheckMAL Inc. subsidiaries) after information has been requested from the Customer or the resolution has been provided, the Incident is automatically considered resolved and then closed with corresponding notifications sent to the Customer.

Standard Support is delivered through the following channels:
- CheckMAL Inc. website online request form. The website includes Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ) and other application support information that the Customer or Prospect may use to find answers to common queries.

The application support information is stored until the end-of-life of the Application.
