System Availability is calculated as 100% minus Application Downtime, where Application Downtime consists of the total number of minutes per month that the SAAS System is unavailable to Customer, Customer Users or End Users, divided by the number of available minutes in such month, which excludes Planned Downtime as calculated by:
System Availability = Total Monthly Time – Unplanned Down Time – Planned Downtime/Total Monthly Time – Planned Downtime
SLA%= System Availability * 99.5%
“System Unavailability” means that the SAAS System or its functionality is unavailable to Customer, Customer Users, or End Users.
A failure in any of these areas represents System Unavailability.
Note: Any other significant functionality added to the SAAS System in the future and supported by Service Provider will also fall under the purview of the Availability requirements.
“Planned Downtime” will mean the total amount of time during any calendar month, measured in minutes, during which Customer or its Customer Users or End Users are unable to access the SAAS System, due to planned system maintenance performed by Service Provider. Service Provider will provide Customer no less than three (3) business days’ notice prior to any Planned Downtime.
System Unavailability will not include unavailability resulting in whole or in part from: a) problems with connectivity over the Internet; b) Planned Downtime; or (c) reasons of Force Majeure. For purposes of this SLA, “Force Majeure” shall mean a delay in performance due to acts of god, fire, strike (other than Service Provider’s workforce), embargo, terrorist attack, war, insurrection or riot.
In the event that the SAAS System has an availability of less than 99.5% in any given month, the Customer shall receive a System Level Credit from Service Provider as defined in the table attached below. The amount of the Service Level Credit shall be based on the Fee charged to Customer.
If applicable, the Service Level Credit shall be provided to Customer in 10 business days or less following the month in which the System Availability incident(s) have occurred. The Service Level Credit shall be made against the Purchase Order and/or Account that normally provides payment for the affected SAAS System, and a copy of the credit memo shall also be provided to the Customer.
System Availability Greater Than or Equal To: | System Availability Less Than: | Service Level Credit (Percentage of Monthly SAAS System Fee) |
---|---|---|
0.97 | 0.995 | 0.10 |
0.95 | 0.969 | 0.15 |
0.92 | 0.949 | 0.20 |
0.85 | 0.919 | 0.25 |
0.75 | 0.849 | 0.50 |
The remedies set forth in the above table and Customer’s right to terminate for chronic SLA failure, as set forth below, shall be Client’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Service Provider’s sole and exclusive obligation, in the event of a breach of this SLA.
Termination for Chronic System Availability Failures. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Exhibit or SOW to the contrary and in addition to any other termination rights that may be available to Customer under this Agreement, Customer may terminate the Agreement immediately with notice to Service Provider if System Availability falls below 99.5% (a) 2 or more times in any given month during the Term, (b) at least once per month in any 2 consecutive months during the Term, or (c) 3 or more times during any 6-month period during the Term. Termination pursuant to this paragraph will be effective on the date set forth in Customer’s written notice and will be without further liability or penalty of any kind except for payment as provided in the Agreement of amounts due and prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination pursuant to this paragraph, Service Provider shall refund any pre-paid and unused Fees to Customer upon such termination within fifteen (15) days following the effective date of termination.

SECTION II – OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
Clause 8
Data protection safeguards
The data exporter warrants that it has used reasonable efforts to determine that the data importer is able, through the implementation of appropriate technical and organisational measures, to satisfy its obligations under these Clauses.
8.1 Instructions
(a) The data importer shall process the personal data only on documented instructions from the data exporter. The data exporter may give such instructions throughout the duration of the contract.
(b) The data importer shall immediately inform the data exporter if it is unable to follow those instructions.
8.2 Purpose limitation
The data importer shall process the personal data only for the specific purpose(s) of the transfer, as set out in Annex I.B, unless on further instructions from the data exporter.
8.3 Transparency
On request, the data exporter shall make a copy of these Clauses, including the Appendix as completed by the Parties, available to the data subject free of charge. To the extent necessary to protect business secrets or other confidential information, including the measures described in Annex II and personal data, the data exporter may redact part of the text of the Appendix to these Clauses prior to sharing a copy, but shall provide a meaningful summary where the data subject would otherwise not be able to understand the its content or exercise his/her rights. On request, the Parties shall provide the data subject with the reasons for the redactions, to the extent possible without revealing the redacted information. This Clause is without prejudice to the obligations of the data exporter under Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
8.4 Accuracy
If the data importer becomes aware that the personal data it has received is inaccurate, or has become outdated, it shall inform the data exporter without undue delay. In this case, the data importer shall cooperate with the data exporter to erase or rectify the data.
8.5 Duration of processing and erasure or return of data
Processing by the data importer shall only take place for the duration specified in Annex I.B. After the end of the provision of the processing services, the data importer shall, at the choice of the data exporter, delete all personal data processed on behalf of the data exporter and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, or return to the data exporter all personal data processed on its behalf and delete existing copies. Until the data is deleted or returned, the data importer shall continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses. In case of local laws applicable to the data importer that prohibit return or deletion of the personal data, the data importer warrants that it will continue to ensure compliance with these Clauses and will only process it to the extent and for as long as required under that local law. This is without prejudice to Clause 14, in particular the requirement for the data importer under Clause 14(e) to notify the data exporter throughout the duration of the contract if it has reason to believe that it is or has become subject to laws or practices not in line with the requirements under Clause 14(a).
8.6 Security of processing
(a) The data importer and, during transmission, also the data exporter shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of the data, including protection against a breach of security leading to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access to that data (hereinafter “personal data breach”). In assessing the appropriate level of security, the Parties shall take due account of the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context and purpose(s) of processing and the risks involved in the processing for the data subjects. The Parties shall in particular consider having recourse to encryption or pseudonymisation, including during transmission, where the purpose of processing can be fulfilled in that manner. In case of pseudonymisation, the additional information for attributing the personal data to a specific data subject shall, where possible, remain under the exclusive control of the data exporter.
