Support and Service Level Agreement

1. Maintenance
  1. Routine maintenance will be performed between the hours of 9:00 PM ET Saturday and 9:00 AM ET Sunday (“Routine Maintenance”) and Laivly will use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule any other maintenance to the Laivly SaaS Services during hours other than during Regular Business Hours.
  2. In the event Laivly must perform maintenance other than Routine Maintenance, Laivly will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer with at least one (1) business day advance notice of such maintenance.
2. SERVICE AVAILABILITY
Laivly will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Laivly Platform with an Uptime Percentage of at least 99.9% (the “Service Level Requirement”).
3. SERVICE CREDITS
  1. If during any full calendar month of the term of the Order Form for Laivly SaaS Services, the Uptime Percentage is lower than the Service Level Requirement (a “Service Level Failure”), Customer will be entitled to request a service credit in accordance with the following table (“Service Credit”):
    Uptime Percentage Service Credit Against Monthly Subscription Fees
    Greater than or equal to 99% and less than 99.9% 0.5% of Subscription Fees
    Greater than or equal to 95% and less than 99% 2.5% of Subscription Fees
    Less than 95% 5% of Subscription Fees
  2. If Customer is eligible to receive a Service Credit in accordance with Section 3(a), Customer must submit a claim to Laivly. To be eligible, the Service Credit claim must be received by Laivly within 30 days from the time the Customer believes it is eligible to receive a Service Credit and must include: (i) the words “SLA Credit Request” in the subject line; (ii) the applicable calendar month and specific dates and times of the Downtime that contributed to the Service Level Failure in respect of which the claim is made; and (iii) any other information which is reasonably relevant, in the circumstances.
  3. If a Service Credit claim is made in accordance with this Section 3 and Laivly has confirmed in writing that a Service Level Failure has occurred, Laivly will apply the Service Credit against the next invoice for Subscription Fees due under the Agreement. If the term of the Order Form for Laivly SaaS Services expires or the Agreement is otherwise terminated, such that there are no Subscription Fees identified in an Order Form against which a Service Credit can be applied, the Service Credit will be forfeited by Customer. A Service Credit will be applicable and issued only if the credit amount is greater than one dollar ($1.00).
  4. Except as expressly set out herein, a Service Credit will not entitle Customer to any refund or other payment from Laivly. Any Service Credits provided pursuant to this SLA will constitute Laivly’s sole liability and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any Service Level Failure.
  5. If Laivly performs any Updates to the Laivly On-Premise Software or Modifications to the Laivly SaaS Services and if such Update or Modification requires Laivly to reconfigure a component of the Laivly Platform, then the minutes that the Laivly Platform is not Available as a result of such reconfigurations will be deemed to be Excluded Minutes.
4. SUPPORT ESCALATION PROCESS
  1. Following the Go Live Date (as set out in the Order Form), Customer may request support for technical incidents (each, an “Incident”) by reporting such incidents to Laivly either: (i) via the online support portal provided by Laivly; or (ii) via email at help@laivly.com. Laivly will use commercially reasonable efforts to acknowledge and respond to Incidents in accordance with the target response time set out in the table below (“Response Time”) based on the severity level of the reported Incident (“Severity Level”), as determined by Laivly in its sole discretion, in accordance with the description of the Incident set out in the table below:
    Severity Level Description of Incident Response Time
    Severity 1 Laivly Platform not available (all users and functions unavailable). Within one (1) hour of Laivly receiving notification of the Incident.
    Severity 2 Significant degradation of Laivly Platform (large number of users or business critical functions affected, business process can continue). Within four (4) Regular Business Hours of Laivly receiving notification of the Incident.
    Severity 3 Limited degradation of Laivly Platform (limited number of users or functions affected, business process can continue). Within eight (8) Regular Business Hours of Laivly receiving notification of the Incident.
  2. For the avoidance of doubt, Laivly’s failure to comply with an applicable Response Time does not constitute breach of the Agreement and such noncompliance will not entitle a Customer to any Service Credit, refund, discount or reimbursement of any kind.
