The following Support guidelines ("Guidelines") apply to the Services (as described at https://cloud.google.com/velostrata/services-agreement, as amended from time to time, the "Agreement").

Capitalized terms used but not defined in these Guidelines have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

1.2 Priority Designations. Customer designates P1–P4 Priority on submission of Requests. Velostrata will review Customer's Priority designation and may change designations that Velostrata believes are incorrect. Velostrata will inform Customer of such change in its response to the support Request. Velostrata's designation is final and binding on Customer.
