Characterization of Requests . Customers designate priority upon submission of Requests. Upon receiving a request from Customer Contact, Mincetech will determine whether the request is a "Service Unusable," "Standard Request" or a "Feature Request" (as defined in Section 8). Any such determination made by Mincetech is final and binding on Customer. Mincetech reserves the right to change Customer's Priority designation if Mincetech believes that Customer's designation is incorrect and will inform Customer of any such change in its response to the support Request. Customer may appeal any such reclassification to Mincetech's Support management for review through any available support channel.

Request Acknowledgement . Mincetech may respond to a Request by acknowledging receipt of the Request. Customer acknowledges and understands that Mincetech may be unable to provide answers to, or resolve all, Requests.
-
Feature Requests . If Mincetech deems a Request as a Feature Request, Mincetech will log such Request for consideration to add to a future update or release of the Services and will consider the matter closed.

P2 Priority support Requests made via phone will be responded to directly.
