SCHEDULE 1 - SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT (“SLA”)

This Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) is incorporated into the Agreement and applies to all Purchased Services Customers. Any capitalized term used in this SLA, which is not defined herein, will have the meaning as defined in the Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this SLA, nothing in this SLA is intended to expand or otherwise modify the parties’ respective rights, and obligations as provided under the Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Agreement will continue in full force and effect. This SLA does not apply to the availability of Services available during trial periods, or of Third Party Services. The SLA is binding only on Us and does not apply to any third parties.

The issuance of SLA Credits (defined below) is Your sole and exclusive remedy and Our sole and exclusive obligation, for any failure by Us to satisfy the requirements set forth in this SLA.

SLA Credit Claim

To claim a credit You will follow the Approved Procedure set forth in Section 2.3. The claim will be reviewed by Us, and any credit for Verified Outages (“SLA Credits”) will be issued as provided below.

1. DEFINITIONS

Claimed Outage means the period (measured in minutes) during which Customer claims a Loss of Service during a Measurement Period as reported using the Approved Procedure.

Excluded Minutes for all users means the periods during which the Purchased Services are not available for the following reasons:

  • (i) During Our scheduled system upgrades, enhancements and routine maintenance activities which are announced to You via email or through the Purchased Services at least two days advance notice or for maintenance determined by Us to be an emergency upon notice provided through the Customer Portal (“Scheduled Maintenance”);
  • (ii) Any period of non-availability of a service relating to any third party, including any service provided by a third party;
  • (iii) Your use of the Purchased Services or any of Your User’s use of the Service is in violation of the Agreement;
  • (iv) Issues relating to Your Data;
  • (v) Problems with Your access to Internet, or any telecommunication, hosting, or other service provider;
  • (vi) Problems related to integration with Your systems;
  • (vii) System administration, commands, file transfers performed by Your representatives;
  • (viii) Events described in the Force Majeure provision, Section 3.1;
  • (ix) Suspension of Your access to the Purchased Services as provided in the Agreement;
  • (x) Problems caused by Your use of the Purchased Services or any of Your User’s use of the Service not in accordance with the User Guide, or after We advised You or any of Your Users to modify such use, if You or any of Your Users End User did not modify its use as advised;
  • (xi) Problems arising from Services made available during trial periods and
  • (xii) Problems arising from Third Party Services, or any third party’s software, hardware, service, connectivity, or other technology or equipment.

Measurement Period means the relevant initial Term or renewal period.

Qualifying Outage Minutes mean the aggregate of all minutes of a Verified Outage during a Measurement Period, minus any Excluded Minutes in that Measurement Period.

Purchased Services means the Services ordered by You and accepted by Us as provided in the Agreement.

Loss of Purchased Services means Your inability to access and use Purchased Services. If You can access and use substantially all of the Our Purchased Services, there is no Loss of Purchased Services.

Verified Outage means a Claimed Outage for a particular Service that has been verified by Us using Our monitoring logs of accessibility of the Purchased Services.

System Availability (“SA”)

This means the period of time (in minutes) during any complete calendar month that the Services are able to respond to requests, excluding periods of Scheduled Maintenance and any Excluded Minutes. SA will terminate upon receipt by personnel of one party of actual notice that the Service is not available to receive or respond to requests, and will recommence upon verification by the other party that the Service is available to receive or respond to requests. For clarity, all Excluded Minutes will count for and be included within SA.

“System Availability Percentage” or “SAP” means System Availability expressed as the following percentage: SAP = (SA x 100)/CP; SAP is measured monthly with a “monthly/quarterly/annual” objective. "CP” is “Calendar Period" which is 1 month = 31 days = 43200 minutes, less any Excluded Minutes.

2. COMMITMENT

2.1 Purchase Services Commitment

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the SAP of Purchased Services will be 99.5%.

2.2 SLA Credits

For each thirty (30) continuous-minute period of Qualifying Outage Minutes for a Service in a Measurement Period, We will provide a SLA Credit of 5% of the monthly Fees for the relevant Service which was subject to the Loss of Service during the Measurement Period up to a maximum SLA Credit of 100% of the monthly Fees. Any period of Qualifying Outage Minutes for a Service which is less than 30 continuous minutes will not be eligible for an award of SLA Credits.

2.3 Approved Procedure

To be eligible to receive SLA Credit, You must notify us by email of a Claimed Outage Period. Your notice must include Service type, dates and times, error messages received (if any), contact information, and full description of the interruption of Service including logs, if applicable.

We will review the details of the Claimed Outages against the Verified Outages and our accounting department will communicate the SLA Credits (if any) to You by return email notification. Our determination of SLA Credits is final.

Any false or duplicative claims for Claimed Outages will incur a fee of $50 per incident for such claims and may result in suspension of the Services.

The SLA Credit may not be used to reduce the payments due in a renewal period below zero. Subject to section 2.4 and section 2.5, We will apply the SLA Credits to Your future invoices for the relevant Purchased Services subject to Our standard policies.

2.4 Ineligible Customers

  2. You have been overdue more than 3 times in the payment of Fees in the previous 12 calendar months; or
  3. You are in breach of this Agreement and the breach remains unremedied to Our reasonable satisfaction at the time the SLA Credit is being determined.
