ANNEX 1: Support and SLA
Support and Maintenance Services
Customer is entitled to the following support and maintenance services:
Telephone or electronic support in order to help Customer locate and correct problems with the Software.
Bug fixes and code corrections to correct Software malfunctions in order to bring such Software into substantial conformity with the operating specifications.
All extensions, enhancements and other changes that Storeganise, at its sole discretion, makes or adds to the Software and which Storeganise furnishes, without charge, to all other subscribers of the Services.
Response and Resolution Goals
Issue Severity: High: An issue in the production system is creating a significant impact to the Customer’s business function preventing that function from being executed; Resolution Goal: Storeganise support personnel will work on the issue once it has been reported and acknowledged. Customer must make available a resource at any time to assist with issue determination. Storeganise will provide reasonable effort to identify a workaround or fix within 24 hours, once the issue is reproducible or once the Software defect has been identified.
Issue Severity: Medium: The production system or application is moderately affected. There is no workaround currently available or the workaround is cumbersome to use; Resolution Goal: Storeganise will provide reasonable effort for a workaround or fix within 7 business days, once the issue is reproducible.
Issue Severity: Low: The issue has been identified and does not hinder normal operation, or the situation may be temporarily circumvented using an available workaround; Resolution Goal: Customer Support will provide reasonable effort for a workaround or fix within 10 business days, once the issue is reproducible.
Supported Internet Browsers
As of the Effective Date, the Software will be compatible with the latest versions of internet browsers such as Google’s Chrome and Apple’s Safari. Due to limitations in the browsers themselves and changes beyond the control of Storeganise, the supported internet browsers may change from time to time and some functionality of the Software may not work as expected in some internet browsers, particularly older browser versions.
Service Level Agreement (SLA)
Storeganise will achieve System Availability of at least 99% during each calendar year. “System Availability” means the number of minutes in a year that the key components of the Services are operational as a percentage of the total number of minutes in such year, excluding downtime resulting from (a) scheduled maintenance, (b) events of Force Majeure, (c) malicious attacks on the system, (d) issues associated with the Customer’s computing devices, local area networks or internet service provider connections, or (e) inability to deliver services because of acts or omissions of Customer.
Storeganise reserves the right to take the Service offline for scheduled maintenance for which Customer has been provided reasonable notice and Storeganise reserves the right to change its maintenance window upon prior notice to Customer.
If Storeganise fails to meet System Availability in the year, upon written request by Customer within 30 days after the end of the year, Storeganise will issue a credit in Customer’s next invoice in an amount equal to 1% of the yearly fee for the affected Services for each 1% loss of System Availability below stated SLA, up to a maximum of the Customer’s fee for the affected Services.
