Schedule 1
MirrorWeb Service Level Agreement
This MirrorWeb Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) between MirrorWeb, Ltd. (“MirrorWeb”, “us” or “we”) and users of the MirrorWeb Services (“you”) governs the use of the MirrorWeb software as a service platform (the “MirrorWeb Platform”) under the provisions of the Subscription Agreement.
All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Terms.
Unless otherwise provided herein, this SLA is subject to the provisions of the Terms.
- MirrorWeb Service Commitment
MirrorWeb will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the MirrorWeb Platform available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage of at least 99.5% during any monthly billing cycle, excluding scheduled Maintenance (the “Service Commitment”). Subject to the SLA Exclusions, if we do not meet the Service Commitment, you will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below.
- Definitions
“Maintenance” means Unavailability of the MirrorWeb Platform which is pre-scheduled by us, and which was announced by us prior to the MirrorWeb Platform becoming unavailable.
“Monthly Uptime Percentage” is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of minutes during the month in which the MirrorWeb Platform was Unavailable. Monthly Uptime Percentage measurements exclude downtime resulting directly or indirectly from any SLA Exclusion, and any scheduled or emergency Maintenance.
“Service Credit” means a credit denominated in USD, calculated as set forth below, that we may credit back to an eligible account.
“Unavailable” and “Unavailability” mean, for application services and databases, when your service or database is not running or not reachable due to MirrorWeb’s fault. This excludes (a) services that are unreachable or not running because the services provisioned resources (RAM, CPU, disk, as applicable) are insufficient; (b) members of a database cluster where the cluster as a whole is running and reachable; and (c) any act or omission of Customer or its service providers, including its hosting provider.
- Service Commitments and Service Credits
Service credits are calculated as a percentage of the total charges due on your MirrorWeb invoice for the monthly billing cycle in which the Unavailability occurred, applied proportionally to the Services that were Unavailable. Subject to the foregoing and the remainder of this Schedule, if the MirrorWeb Platform is Unavailable to you and such Unavailability qualifies as a breach of our Service Commitment, then MirrorWeb shall apply a credit to your account of five percent (5%) of applicable monthly fees (“Service Credits”).
We will apply any Service Credits only against future payments for the Services otherwise due from you. Service Credits will not entitle you to any refund or other payment from MirrorWeb. A Service Credit will be applicable and issued only if the credit amount for the applicable monthly billing cycle is greater than one USD ($1). Service Credits may not be transferred or applied to any other account.
- Sole Remedy
Unless otherwise provided in the Terms, your sole and exclusive remedy for any unavailability, non-performance, or other failure by us to provide the Services is the receipt of a Service Credit (if eligible) in accordance with the terms of this SLA.
- Credit Request and Payment Procedures
To receive a Service Credit, you must submit a claim by emailing support@MirrorWeb.com. To be eligible, the credit request must be received by us by the end of the second billing cycle after which the incident occurred and must include:
- the words “SLA Credit Request” in the subject line;
- the dates and times of each Unavailability incident that you are claiming;
- the account handle(s); and
- logs that document the errors and corroborate your claimed outage (any confidential or sensitive information in these logs should be removed or replaced with asterisks).
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 your request is confirmed by us. Your failure to provide the request and other information as required above will disqualify you from receiving a Service Credit.
- SLA Exclusions
The Service Commitment does not apply to any Unavailability (the “SLA Exclusions”):
1. Caused by factors outside of our reasonable control, including any force majeure event, Internet access, or problems beyond the demarcation point of the MirrorWeb network;
2. That results from any actions or inactions of you or any third party;
3. That results from the equipment, software or other technology of you or any third party (other than third party equipment within our direct control);
4. That results from failures of MirrorWeb Platform not attributable to Unavailability; or
If availability is impacted by factors other than those used in our Monthly Uptime Percentage calculation, then we may issue a Service Credit considering such factors at our discretion.
