Service Level Agreement

The Service Level Agreement below (“SLA”) supplements and amends the Terms of Service (“ToS”), available at https://www.acceptmission.com/legal/terms-of-service/ If there is any conflict between the SLA and the Terms of Service, the applicable terms in the SLA will prevail. Capitalized expressions not defined in the SLA have the meaning set out in the Terms of Service.

General

Accept Mission provides certain guarantees for the availability of the Accept Mission Service. This SLA describes the levels of Service availability and the support that the Customer can expect to receive from Accept Mission for the duration of the Customer Agreement.

Definitions

“Service Credit” means a Credit (as described in the Customer Agreement) denominated in Euros, calculated as set forth below, that we may credit to an eligible Customer for future invoices. Service Credits cannot be exchanged for cash. Service Credits do not entitle the Customer to a refund or any other payment from Accept Mission. Service Credits are not cumulative, that is, there shall only be a single Service Credits given for all Unavailability’s with a single cause.

“Unavailable” and “Unavailability” and “Unavailability’s” means when the Subdomain of a Customer is not reachable on an up-to-date version of a desktop or mobile Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari web browser due to Our fault.

“Monthly Uptime Percentage” means the calculation arrived at by subtracting from 100% the percentage of minutes during the month in which the Accept Mission Web App Services were Unavailable. Monthly Uptime Percentage measurements exclude downtime resulting directly or indirectly from any SLA Exclusion (as defined below).

Uptime Service Commitment

Customers who subscribe to Accept Mission Plans covered by this SLA (set forth below) will be entitled to Credits for any Unavailability that fails to meet the Monthly Uptime Percentage. The SLA does not provide any uptime service commitment guarantees for Customers that are not on a paid Subscription of Accept Mission.

“Outage” means the actual number of minutes the Accept Mission Web App Service is Unavailable. “Subscription Price” is the monthly or Yearly Subscription fee for the Customer on a given plan.

As an example calculation, an outage of 4 hours in a given Monthly Billing Period for a Customer on the Business Plan equals to (240 minutes – 43 minutes) = 197 minutes of creditable Outage. With 197m times the 20x acceleration ratio divided by a total of 43800 minutes in a month, the Customer is eligible for a Credit of 8.9% of his invoice for that month.

The monthly uptime percentage, the resulting allowed Outage, the Acceleration Ratio and maximum Service Credit by percentage of invoice for each covered Accept Mission Plan is as follows:

Service Credit Terms

To apply for a Service Credit, the customer must submit a claim by emailing [email protected] within thirty (30) days of the month in which the Unavailable Time occurred. The ticket must include (i) “SLA Claim” as the subject of the ticket; (ii) the dates and times of the Unavailable time for which you are requesting a Service Credit; and (iii) any applicable information that documents the claimed outage for the given Customer, cleared of any sensitive information that Customer wishes to remain confidential.

In order for a Customer to be eligible to receive a Service Credit under this SLA, the Customer must (1) use the latest version of the Accept Mission Web App, (2) make sure that they are using up-to-date Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari web browsers.

Service Credit will be applied to the invoice following the Billing Period that the Service Credit was accrued. A pending Service Credit does not release a Customer from its obligation to pay Accept Mission invoices submitted for payment in full when due.

If the Monthly Uptime Percentage of such a 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.

Sole Remedy

Unless otherwise provided in the ToS, 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.
