1. Background
1.1 Safeture and Partner or Customer, as the case may be, (Partner and Customer both referred to as “Customer” for the purpose of this appendix, unless specified otherwise), have entered into a partner agreement or a subscription agreement, as the case may be, (both referred to as the “Agreement” for the purpose of this appendix). This appendix forms an integral part of the Agreement. Terms not de-fined in this appendix shall have the meaning ascribed to them elsewhere in the Agreement.
1.2 Safeture shall provide support services for the Safeture Services and uphold certain service levels on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this appendix.
2. Service levels
2.1 Service availability
2.1.1 Service availability is measured by the availability of the Safeture Services on a monthly basis, and is reset at the end of each month.
2.1.2 The Safeture Services shall have an uptime of at least ninetynine (99) % per month, excluding downtime due to circumstances stated in Section 2.3, (the “Availability”).
2.1.3 Safeture will use its best efforts to ensure that the Availability meets the above stated target.
2.1.4 Safeture shall ensure that any fault, errors, problems with, or interruption to the Safeture Services are resolved as soon as practically possible.
2.2 Measuring of availability
2.2.1 Downtime is defined as the period of time where the Safeture Services are not available, calculated from the moment in time the failure in availability is reported by Customer to Safeture until the Safeture Services becomes available again. Downtime shall not include downtime due to circumstances stated in Section 2.3.
2.2.2 Safeture uses a third party tool which monitors the uptime of the Safeture Services. The measurement consists of tailored web requests that will only succeed if each and every critical sub-system is up and running. It is considered downtime if these requests either timeout after thirty (30) seconds TCP connection timeout, after thirty (30) seconds of no initial first byte or return a HTTP 5xx error code. HTTP 1xx, 2xx, 3xx and 4xx are considered valid responses. It is also considered downtime if the HTTPS-certificates are invalid.
2.2.3 Quarterly Availability reports can be provided to the Customer at a fee in accordance with the Price List. The report states scheduled and non-scheduled down-time during the relevant period.
2.3 Downtime for which Safeture is not responsible
2.3.1 Downtime caused by circumstances referred to in this Section 2.3 shall not affect the measuring of Availability.
2.3.2 Scheduled downtime, service windows or any other scheduled maintenance activities shall not be regarded as downtime when measuring Availability. Safeture shall inform Customer at least four (4) days before the start of a scheduled down-time, service windows or any other scheduled maintenance that affects the availability of the Safeture Services via Safeture’ website and/or e-mail.
2.3.3 Critical maintenance shall be not regarded as downtime when measuring Availability. Safeture shall notify the Customer a minimum of four (4) hours prior to the start of critical maintenance that affects the availability of the Safeture Services. Information regarding critical maintenance will be provided on Safeture’ website and/or e-mail. Safeture shall keep critical maintenance, with best effort, at a maximum of two (2) times per month. Critical maintenance includes, but is not limited to, security patches, critical bug fixes and other time critical updates that affects operations of critical parts of the Safeture Services.
2.3.4 Downtime to the Safeture Services caused by or attributable to Customer, End Customer, Super User or End User, including integrated third party suppliers, shall not be regarded when measuring Availability.
2.3.5 Downtime caused by DOS attacks shall not be regarded when measuring Availability.
2.3.6 Downtime caused by events of force majeure as defined in the Agreement shall not be regarded when measuring Availability.
2.4 Compensation
2.4.1 If Safeture does not fulfill the specified Availability in accordance with Section 2.1.2, Customer shall be entitled to compensation from Safeture in the form of a reduction in Customer’s fees for the provision of the Safeture Services during that month. The reduction is calculated based on the Availability and fees for the relevant Safeture Services during the relevant month under the Agreement according to the following reduction plan:
