Cord Service Level Agreement

This Cord Service Level Agreement ("SLA") forms a part of the Service Agreement (“Agreement”) between Radical HQ Limited (“Cord”) and the Customer named on the Order Form, under which Cord provides its Services . This SLA sets forth the parties' objectives and the performance levels Cord must meet for the Services. This SLA is effective beginning on the Effective Date of the Agreement and will remain in effect until the termination of the Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this SLA shall have the meanings set out in the Agreement.

1. Availability of Service; Service Credits. Calculation of Availability Service Level

Cord will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Service available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage of at least 99.9% during any calendar month (the “Availability Service Level”).

Monthly Uptime Percentage” means the total number of minutes in a calendar month minus the number of minutes of Downtime suffered in such calendar month, divided by the total number of minutes in the calendar month. The applicable formula is:

Monthly Uptime Percentage = 100 x ( (Total Minutes in Month) (Total Minutes of ) Downtime) / (Total Minutes In Month)

For any partial calendar month during which the Customer has access to the Service, the Monthly Uptime Percentage shall be calculated based on the entire calendar month, not just the portion for which the Customer has access to the Service. The determination of whether the Service is available will be made in good faith by Cord based on monitoring performed by Cord.

Downtime” means that the Service has no external connectivity and cannot be accessed by Customer. Downtime excludes downtime and unavailability resulting directly or indirectly from any Service Level Exclusions.

Service Level Exclusions” means unavailability, inaccessibility, suspension or termination of the Service and any other Service performance issues that directly or indirectly result from: (a) termination or suspension of the Service pursuant to the Agreement; (b) factors outside of Cord’s reasonable control, including force majeure events, denial of service attacks, or Internet access or related problems beyond the demarcation point of Cord and its third party hosting providers; (c) any actions or inactions of Customer, its users or any third party; (d) Customer or third party infrastructure, equipment, devices, hardware, software, services or other technology; (e) unavailability of hardware, software or technology that interoperates with the Service; (f) Customer’s or its users’ use of the Service in a manner inconsistent with the Agreement; (g) failure to adhere to any required configurations, use supported platforms, failure to follow any policies for acceptable use, or use of the Services in a manner inconsistent with the features and functionality of the Service; (h) negligent or intentional misuse by Customer; (i) free, beta, preview, pre-release, trial versions of the Service; or (j) any scheduled or emergency maintenance.
