# What are SLAs?

Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are rules you create around response time (or resolution time) to ensure you are responding to your customers in a timely manner.  When an SLA rule is triggered, the ticket will be tagged with a special **SLA Violation** tag.  You can also add other optional rules, like electing to be notified or assigned when an SLA violation occurs.

{% hint style="success" %}
SLAs are available as part of the **Advanced** and **Enterprise** pricing plans.
{% endhint %}

Once an SLA has been triggered for a ticket, it can't be removed.  Similarly, a ticket can only be triggered once.  If a ticket triggers multiple SLA rules, only the first is recorded.
