Large enterprises can request a customised Service Level Agreement which promises 99.95% uptime through an enterprise SLA policy.
Uptick can provide SLAs guaranteeing 99.95% uptime or your money back.
In addition to the standard level of service, Uptick provides an extended Service Level Agreement as defined in this Schedule.
1. Service Level
Subject to the exclusions below, Uptick shall ensure that the Product has no less than 99.5% Uptime (as defined herein). Uptime of the Product is calculated as a percentage using the following formula during a month:
Where:
(i) MPM is the number of minutes during Support Hours in a month; and
(ii) SD is the elapsed time in minutes during the MPM in which the Product has either failed completely so it is unavailable to the Customer, or the Product is partially available to the Customer but the Product is not in accordance with its Documentation. SD does not include time where the Product is not available due to a Scheduled Outage, provide the Schedule Outage has been notified and does not exceed any limits for Scheduled Outages in this Schedule.
Support Hours means 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.SD commences on the Customer making a call or Uptick detecting a defect in the Product and ceases once the Product is available to the Customer in accordance with the Documentation for a continuous period of at least 30 minutes.
2. Remedy
If the level of Uptime is not provided, as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, Customer will be entitled to a credit (subject to the applicable procedures in this Agreement) in accordance with the schedule below. Credits may be used towards future invoices from Uptick, and the Customer will not be entitled to a cash refund if the agreement is terminated or expires before use of all of Customer’s credits.
