‍
Service Level Agreement
‍
1. Definitions:
“Monthly Uptime Percentage” shall mean the total minutes in a calendar month less the total minutes of Unavailability in such calendar month, multiplied by 100, and then divided by the total minutes in such calendar month.
‍
"Unavailable" or "Unavailability" shall mean that Squadcast was not able to process incoming alerts and send notifications within five (5) minutes of receiving the alerts, according to the policies and notification rules defined by you within the Squadcast service.
‍
The Squadcast SLA Exclusions (defined below) do not constitute Unavailability for purposes of this SLA.
‍
“Service Commitment” shall mean the Monthly Uptime Percentage to which Squadcast commits the service.
‍
“Service Credit” shall mean a monetary credit, calculated as set forth below, that Squadcast may credit back to you. Service Credits are calculated as a percentage of one-twelfth (1/12) the total charges paid by you as subscription fees on an annual basis.

2. Service Commitment:
Squadcast will be available with a Service Commitment of at least 99.9%, during any calendar month of service. In the event Squadcast does not meet the Service Commitment, you will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below.

3. Squadcast SLA Exclusions:
The Service Commitment does not apply to any Squadcast unavailability that:
(i)  is caused by factors outside of Squadcast’s reasonable control, including any force majeure event;
(ii) results from your acts or omissions, equipment, software or other technology and/or third party equipment, software or other technology as such is not permitted by the Agreement and/or the Squadcast Terms;
(iii) arises from suspension of your right to use Squadcast in accordance with the Agreement and/or the Squadcast Terms,  and  
(iv) routine scheduled maintenance; (collectively, the “Squadcast SLA Exclusions”).
‍
4. Measurement:
Squadcast uses a proprietary system that consists of both internal and 3rd party monitoring  services  to measure the Monthly Uptime Percentage. You agree that this system will be the sole basis for resolution of any dispute that may arise regarding this SLA.

Service Credits will only be provided against future payments by you for Squadcast. If the Unavailability occurs during the last month of the then-current Subscription Term, and either party has opted not to renew), we may issue the Service Credit to the credit card you used to pay for the billing cycle in which the Unavailability occurred. Except as indicated in the foregoing, Service Credits will not entitle you to any refund or other payment from us. A Service Credit will be issued only if the credit amount for the applicable calendar month is greater than one dollar ($1 USD). Service Credits may not be transferred or applied to any other accounts using Squadcast. Your sole and exclusive remedy for any Unavailability is the Service Credit (if eligible) in accordance with the terms of this SLA.

6. Support Response Time Commitment:
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to requests from you regarding errors with Squadcast that are made between 9:00am-5:00pm ET within the following timeframes following confirmed receipt by us of an error support request, and we shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a resolution commensurate with the Severity Level of the error.
‍

7. Credit Request and Payment Procedures:
To receive a Service Credit, you must submit a claim by opening a case in the Squadcast support center. The Service Credit request must be used by the end of the second billing cycle after which the incident occurred and must include the dates and times of each claimed Unavailability incident.

If the Monthly Uptime Percentage of such request is confirmed by us and is less than the Service Commitment, then we will issue the Service Credit to you within one billing cycle following the month in which the Unavailability is confirmed. Your failure to provide the request and any other reasonably requested information will disqualify you from receiving a Service Credit.
