Schedule 1: Service level agreement

1. Definitions

  • "Unavailable" and "Unavailability" means that the Services are not available to be accessed during a continuous ten minute period.
  • "Annual Uptime Percentage" is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of 10 minute periods during the Service Year in which the Services were Unavailable. If you have been using the Services for less than 365 days, your Service Year is still the preceding 365 days but any days prior to your use of the Services will be deemed to have had 100% Availability. Annual Uptime Percentage measurements exclude downtime resulting directly or indirectly from any the SLA Exclusions (defined below). Annual Uptime Percentage measurements exclude scheduled downtime for maintenance, upgrade, or other reasons, in respect of which eSpatial will, where reasonably practicable, notify the Customer at least 24 hours before such down-time.
  • "Service Year" is the preceding 365 days from the date of an SLA claim.

2. Availability

2.1. Availability

This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") is a policy governing the use of the Services under the terms of the Master Subscription Agreement between eSpatial ("us", "we", "our") and users of the Services through Paid Accounts only ("you", "your"). This SLA applies separately to each account using the Services. Unless otherwise provided herein, this SLA is subject to the terms of the Master Subscription Agreement and defined terms will have the meaning specified in the Master Subscription Agreement. We reserve the right to change the terms of this SLA in accordance with the Master Subscription Agreement.

2.1.1. Service Commitment

eSpatial will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available with an Annual Uptime Percentage (defined above) of at least 99.9% during the Service Year.

2.1.2. SLA Exclusions

The Service Commitment does not apply to any unavailability, suspension or termination of the Services, or any other the Services performance issues: (i) that result from breach of conditions set out in the Master Subscription Agreement; (ii) caused by factors outside of our reasonable control, including any force majeure event or Internet access or related problems beyond the demarcation point of the environment on which the Services are hosted; (iii) that result from any actions or inactions of you or any third party; (iv) that result from your equipment, software or other technology and/or third party equipment, software or other technology (other than third party equipment within our direct control); or (v) arising from our suspension and termination of your right to use the Services in accordance with the Master Subscription Agreement (collectively, the "SLA Exclusions").

2.2. Service Credits

2.2.1. Service Credits

In the event the Services does not meet the Annual Uptime Percentage commitment, you will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below.

2.2.2. Definitions For Service Credits
  • Any downtime occurring prior to a successful Service Credit claim cannot be used for future claims.
  • The "Eligible Credit Period" is a single month, and refers to the monthly billing cycle in which the most recent Unavailable event included in the SLA claim occurred.
  • A "Service Credit" is a dollar credit, calculated as set forth below, that we may credit back to an eligible Services account.
2.2.3. Service Commitments and Service Credits

If the Annual Uptime Percentage for a Customer drops below 99.9% for the Service Year, that Customer is eligible to receive a Service Credit equal to 5% of the charges billed to the Customer and paid by the Customer in that Service year (excluding fees for options in addition to the standard per-user fee for the Services) for the Eligible Credit Period.

In calculating Service Credits only charges paid in accordance with all the terms of the Master Subscription Agreement (including payment on time) may be taken into account. In calculating Service Credits only charges paid corresponding to eSpatial's listed prices without discount may be taken into account.

If availability is impacted by factors other than those explicitly listed in this SLA or the Master Subscription Agreement, we may issue a Service Credit considering such factors in our sole discretion.To file a claim, a Customer does not have to wait 365 days from the day they started using the service or 365 days from their last successful claim. A Customer can file a claim any time their Annual Uptime Percentage over the trailing 365 days drops below 99.9%.

We will apply any Service Credits only against future Services payments otherwise due from you; provided that, we may issue the Service Credit to the credit card that you used to pay for the Services for the billing cycle in which the error occurred. Service credits may only be applied against future payments that correspond to eSpatial's listed prices without other discount.

Service Credits shall not entitle you to any refund or other payment from eSpatial.

A Service Credit will be applicable and issued only if the credit amount for the applicable monthly billing cycle is greater than one dollar ($1 USD).

Service Credits may not be transferred or applied to any other account.

Unless otherwise provided in the Master Subscription Agreement, your sole and exclusive remedy for any unavailability or non-performance of the Services 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 or termination of your use of the Services.

2.2.4. Credit Request and Payment Procedures

To receive a Service Credit, you must submit a request by sending an email message to help@espatial.com. To be eligible, the credit request must: (i) include in the subject of the email message the Customer name in which the account is held; (ii) include, in the body of the email, the dates and times of each incident of Unavailability that you claim to have experienced; and (iii) be received by us within thirty (30) Business Days of the last reported incident in the SLA claim. If the Annual Uptime Percentage of such request is confirmed by us and is less than 99.9% for the Service Year, then we will issue the Service Credit to you within one billing cycle following the month in which the request occurred. Your failure to provide the request and other information as required above will disqualify you from receiving a Service Credit.

2.3 Standard Support Service Levels

Below are set out the Service Levels provided for eSpatial's Standard Support for the Services, in accordance with its Support & Maintenance Policies for the Services (the "Support Policies").eSpatial's support team provides a Help Desk for Software Problem Reports ("SPRs"), accessible during Normal Business Hours. Normal Business Hours are as defined in your Master Subscription Agreement. During this time they can be contacted via a dedicated email address, live chat when available or (for severity 1 and 2 problems) support phone numbers.

The Help Desk staff will:

  • Receive email SPRs to help@espatial.com, live chat, or by telephone to a support phone number provided by eSpatial to the Customer
  • Work to reproduce the reported problem from information provided by the Customer
  • Work to diagnose the cause of the problem
  • Produce a work-around for the problem, and then – if necessary – an update to the Services to resolve the problem
  • Provide email and telephone follow-up to the Customer, to assist with resolution of SPRs and inform them of progress
  • Turn-around times for responding to and resolving requests for support will be in line with the Service Levels set out below.

Severity

Criteria

Target Response Time

Resolution

1

The problem causes complete loss of Service – Work cannot reasonably continue. (A defect that prevents or may prevent a business critical activity of the Customer).

Immediate response on receipt of a report by telephone. (email reports will be treated as severity 2).

Work on resolving the issue will start within 2 Normal Business Hours. eSpatial will aim to provide a workaround as soon as possible (ideally within 6 Normal Business Hours), and then later produce an update to the Services resolving the underlying cause.

2

The problem causes a severe loss of Service. No acceptable workaround is available; however, operation can continue in a restricted fashion. (A defect that causes or may cause complete loss of live service of a key business area of the Customer).

Initial response to telephone call within 4 Normal Business Hours (8 Normal Business Hours to email).

Work on resolving the issue will start within 4 Normal Business Hours (8 if notified by email). eSpatial will aim to provide a workaround as soon as possible (ideally within 2 Business Days), and then later produce an update to the Services resolving the underlying cause.

3

The problem causes major loss of Service. The impact is an inconvenience, which may require a workaround to restore functionality. (A defect that has major business impact that can only be tolerated for a period).

Initial response within 2 Business Days.

A resolution to the problem will be provided if feasible in the next scheduled update to the Services (Where the next scheduled update is not more than 10 business days after diagnosis of the problem, the resolution may instead be provided in the following scheduled update).

4

The problem causes no loss of service. The result is a minor error, incorrect behaviour, or a documentation error that does not impede the operation of a system. (Non-critical informational or cosmetic issue).

Initial response within 5 Business Days.

A resolution to the problem will be provided in a future scheduled update to the Services.

* Target Response Time is defined as the time between receipt of the call and the time that an eSpatial staff member responds to the Customer (generally by email or telephone) about the problem, generally to get additional information or to suggest actions. Due to the wide diversity of problems that can occur, effort to reproduce them, and the methods needed to resolve them, response time IS NOT defined as the time between the receipt of a call and problem resolution.

eSpatial will aim to respond faster than the limits set out above.

Important Notes:

There are requirements and responsibilities on the Customer set out in this document and in the Support Policy: The above Service Levels do not apply to requests for support not meeting these conditions. Target times will only apply from the time of receipt of a report meeting these conditions, and not from any earlier communications not meeting these conditions.

  • Standard Support is only provided for the Services as defined in the Master Subscription Agreement, and for which all due Subscription Fees have been paid.
  • Support Problem Reports must be made by agreed Customer staff designated as support liaisons (one primary and one backup individual per license set).
  • Support Problem Reports must be raised through the designated support channels.
  • The Support Policies require that certain information be provided for all Support Problem Reports.
  • The Customer must provide eSpatial with sufficient information and assistance to reproduce the problem, and if necessary provide access to the Customer's account, or remote demonstration to see the problem occurring and investigate the problem.
  • The Customer must propose a severity when reporting a problem. The severity is to be agreed with eSpatial. The Support Policies provide for escalation if the severity is not agreed.
  • Support may not be provided if the Customer does not adhere to the Master Subscription Agreement.
  • Support is provided for problems caused by incorrect functioning of the Services, and not for issues with causes outside of the Services, such as the Customer's networks, firewalls, proxy servers, hardware, or other software (even if interfaced to the Services).
  • Standard Support does not cover requests that are not problem reports, such as questions on or assistance with configuration of, use of, or development with the Services, or relating to Customer Data.
  • Charged services can be provided for investigations or other work not covered under the Support Policies.
