1. Thank you for contacting us with your concerns. The issue you had this past
Wednesday was caused by servers that crashed due to a database
communication issue. We could not anticipate this problem, so we were unable
to warn customers in advance. I assure you that this type of occurrence is very
rare.

In light of your comments, we have decided to reword our alert message from
“down for maintenance” to “experiencing technical difficulties.” That way
customers will know the problem is due to unforeseen circumstances rather
than routine maintenance. As a matter of fact, our software is hardly ever down
for maintenance. When we work on an upgrade, the software is unavailable for
just a few minutes, if at all.
