EXHIBIT A
Savant Labs Service Level Agreement (SLA)This Savant Labs Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) is a policy governing the use of the Services under the terms of the Savant Labs Master Subscription Agreement (the “MSA”) between Savant Labs and Customer. Unless otherwise provided herein, this SLA is subject to the terms of the MSA and capitalized terms not otherwise defined will have the meaning set forth in the MSA. This SLA states Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any failure by Savant Labs to meet the Service Commitment (as defined below).
Technical Support Commitment
a) Technical support will provided via the web application or by email.
b) Support will be provided during non-holiday work days from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time
c) Support will be provided in English.
Service Commitment Savant Labs will use commercially reasonable efforts to make Services available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage (defined below) of at least 99.9% during any calendar month (the “Service Commitment”). In the event the Services do not meet the Service Commitment, Customer will be eligible to receive Service Credits by following the process in this SLA.
Definitions “Downtime” means loss of external connectivity by all End Users.“Downtime Period” means a period of at least five consecutive minutes of Downtime.“Monthly Uptime Percentage” means the total number of minutes in a month, minus the number of Downtime minutes suffered during Downtime Periods in a month, divided by the total number of minutes in a month.“Planned Maintenance” means period of scheduled maintenance that may result in loss of external connectivity by all End Users.“Emergency Maintenance” means period of un-scheduled maintenance that may result in loss of external connectivity by all End Users.“Service Credit” is a dollar credit based on pro-rated fees, calculated as set forth below, that Savant Labs may credit to Customer’s next invoice for failure to meet the Service Commitment.
Monthly Uptime Percentage -> Service Credit
99.9% but equal to or greater than 99.0% - > 1 day
Less than 99.0% but equal to or greater than 95.0% -> 3 days
Less than 95.0% -> 7 days
Credit Request Procedures To receive a Service Credit, Customer must submit a claim by contacting Savant Labs support via email at contact@savantlabs.io within 30 days from the time Customer becomes eligible to receive the Service Credit. The claim must include the dates and times of each Downtime Period. Failure to comply with these requirements will forfeit Customer’s right to receive a Service Credit. The maximum amount of Service Credits for a month will not exceed 50% of the fees applicable to that month. Savant Labs’s proprietary system tracking Service Downtime will be the sole basis for resolution of any dispute regarding Service Credits.
Exclusions The Service Commitment does not apply to: (a) any Beta Services, (b) use of the Services not in compliance with the Documentation, (c) any suspension or termination of rights to use the Services permitted under the MSA, (d) any usage limits, (e) loss of connectivity caused by factors outside of Savant Labs’s reasonable control, including resulting from (i) any force majeure event including systemic Internet failures, (ii) Customer’s software or hardware, or third-party software or hardware, or both, (iii) failure of Customer’s network connection, (iv) Third-Party Services, or (v) activity in violation of the MSA, or (f) planned or emergency maintenance.
Maintenance Savant Labs may, at its sole discretion [but no more than three instances per month], perform Planned Maintenance that may result in loss of external connectivity for a period not to exceed four (4) hours in a single instance. Savant Labs will communicate the date and time of Planned Maintenance to the Administrator and on the Savant Labs status page at https://status.savantlabs.io at least three (3) business days in advance.
On rare occasions, Savant Labs may need to perform Emergency Maintenance in order to protect the integrity of the Services due to security issues, virus attacks, spam issues, or other unforeseen circumstances. Emergency Maintenance may occur immediately with no advance notification. However, Savant Labs will notify the Administrator and communicate on the Savant Labs status page at https://status.savantlabs.io/ regarding the Emergency Maintenance as soon as possible.
