SCHEDULE 1 – Service Level Agreement
  1. Service availability
The Supplier shall provide at least a 99% uptime service availability level (Uptime Service Level). This availability refers to an access point on the Supplier hosting provider’s backbone network. It does not apply to the portion of the circuit that does not transit the hosting provider’s backbone network, as the Customer is responsible for its own internet access. Availability does not include Maintenance Events as described in 1.1 of Schedule 2, Customer-caused or third party-caused outages or disruptions (except to the extent that such outages or disruptions are caused by those duly authorised third parties sub-contracted by the Supplier to perform the Services), or outages or disruptions attributable in whole or in part to force majeure events within the meaning of Clause 12.
  1. Availability measurement
All measurements are performed at five-minute intervals and measure the availability of an availability test page within the Software within 30 seconds. Availability measurement begins on the first day of the first calendar month, beginning not less than 30 days after the Subscription Start Date. Availability measurement shall be carried out by the Supplier and is based on the quarterly average percentage availability, calculated at the end of each yearly quarter as the total actual uptime minutes divided by total possible uptime minutes in the yearly quarter. The Supplier shall keep and shall send to the Customer, on request, full records of its availability measurement activities under this Agreement.
  1. Service credits
    • If availability falls below the Uptime Service Level (as defined in 1 of Schedule 1) in a given calendar month (Service Delivery Failure), the Supplier shall credit the Customer’s account by an amount calculated as the product of the total cumulative downtime (expressed as a percentage of the total possible uptime minutes in the month concerned) and the Fees owed for that month (Service Credit).
    • A Service Credit shall not be payable unless the Customer requests it within 40 Business Days of the service-affecting event(s). The maximum Service Credit allowable in a given month is limited to an amount equal to the total Fees owed by the Customer for that month.
    • The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Schedule 1 relating to Service Credits constitute a genuine pre-estimate of the loss or damage that the Customer would suffer as a result of the Supplier’s Service Delivery Failure and are not intended to operate as a penalty for the Supplier’s non-performance.
Schedule 2 – Maintenance
  1. Maintenance Events
    • Routine, planned maintenance of the hosting equipment, facility, Software or other aspects of the Hosting Services that may require interruption of the Hosting Services (Maintenance Events) shall, except for any emergency maintenance, not be performed during Normal Business Hours. The Supplier may interrupt the Services to perform emergency maintenance whenever the Supplier considers necessary at its sole discretion.

The Supplier shall at all times endeavour to keep any service interruptions to a minimum.
    • The Supplier may determine, at its sole discretion, that providing appropriate service levels requires additional equipment and/or bandwidth, and may install that equipment and/or bandwidth without approval from the Customer.
  2. Maintenance
