A. No. We do not accept individual schedule adjustments.

 

Q. Is it possible to get individual notification of service outage start and finish?

A. No. We do not give individual notifications.

 

Q. Is there any prior work on the client side?

A. Please stop the services before maintenance as much as possible.

 

Q. Is there any post-work on the client side?

A. Please check that the service is running properly.

 

Thank you.
