- Service Levels and Credits
- Service Levels. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Quote, Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services Available at least ninety-nine percent (99.0 %) of the time as measured over the course of each calendar month during the Term (each such calendar month, a “Service Period“), excluding unavailability due to any of the Exceptions described below in this Section 1 (the “Availability Requirement“). “Service Level Failure” means a material failure of the Services to meet the Availability Requirement. “Available” means the Services are available for access and use by Client and its Authorized Users via the internet. For purposes of calculating the Availability Requirement, the following are “Exceptions” to the Availability Requirement, and neither the Services will be considered un-Available nor any Service Level Failure be deemed to occur in connection with any failure to meet the Availability Requirement or impaired ability of Client or its Authorized Users to access or use the Services that is due, in whole or in part, to any: (a) act or omission by Client or any Authorized User, or access to or use of the Services by Client or any Authorized User, that does not strictly comply with this Agreement and the applicable Quote; (b) a Force Majeure Event; (c) a failure, interruption, outage, or other problem with any software, hardware, system, internet connectivity, network, facility, or other matter not supplied by Provider pursuant to this Agreement; (d) Routine Maintenance; or (e) disabling, suspension, or termination of the Services, as permitted in the Agreement.
- Service Level Failures and Remedies. In the event of a Service Level Failure, Provider shall issue a credit to Client on Client’s next invoice in the amount of ten percent (10 %) of the monthly Subscription Fees for the Services due for the Service Period in which the Service Level Failure occurred (each a “Service Credit“). Provider has no obligation to issue any Service Credit unless: (i) Client reports the Service Failure to Provider immediately on becoming aware of it; and (ii) requests such Service Credit in writing within thirty (30) days of the Service Level Failure; and
This Section 2 sets forth Provider’s sole obligation and liability and Client’s sole remedy for any Service Level Failure.
- Routine Maintenance. Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) schedule downtime for routine maintenance of the Services after regular business hours (8 am to 5 pm PT) or on the weekend; and (b) give Client prior notice of all scheduled outages of the Services in connection with such maintenance (“Routine Maintenance“).
