2. AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES
2.1. Definitions. Unless defined in this SLA, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.
“Availability” means the percentage of a particular month (based on 24-hour days for the number of days in the subject month) that the Wyng Service is (a) fully available to and accessible by CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER Affiliates, and their End Users, and (b) fully operational and able to receive, process, store and transmit CUSTOMER Data. Availability shall be calculated by subtracting the total minutes of Downtime during the month from the total number of minutes in the month and dividing that resulting number by the total number of minutes in the month. The resulting number would then be multiplied by 100 to arrive at the Availability percentage. The following is the formula for this calculation of Availability: (Total # of minutes in month – Total # of minutes of Downtime in month)/Total # of minutes in month x 100 = % of Availability.
“Downtime” means such periods of time during which the Wyng Service is unavailable or unusable, and the minutes of Downtime include minutes during which the Wyng Service is unavailable due to Unscheduled Maintenance, but Downtime does not include minutes during which the Wyng Service or any component thereof are unavailable due to Scheduled Maintenance, Emergency Maintenance, or Force Majeure Events.
“Emergency Maintenance” means any maintenance for the purpose of addressing Severity Level 1 or Severity Level 2 Errors, with or without prior notice. In addition, any actions that WYNG takes in response to an imminent security threat or to protect CUSTOMER data will be considered Emergency Maintenance, with or without prior notice.
“Scheduled Maintenance” means any maintenance that occurs during the Maintenance Window and where WYNG has provided at least 72 hours’ prior notice to CUSTOMER’s designated support contact.
“Unscheduled Maintenance” means any maintenance that does not constitute “Scheduled Maintenance” or “Emergency Maintenance”.
“Force Majeure Event” means an event caused by a circumstance beyond a party’s reasonable control and that could not have been prevented or avoided by the exercise of commercially reasonable due diligence, including, but not limited to: natural catastrophes, war, public power outages, civil unrests and conflicts, acts of terrorism, Domain Name Server issues outside a party’s direct control, technical outages affecting Facebook, Instagram or other essential external systems outside a party’s direct control, riots, insurrection, fires, flood, storm, explosions, acts of God, war, terrorism, and earthquakes, provided that: (a) such failure, default or delay will not be excused if the prevention of the same is an obligation under this Agreement; (b) the non-performing party and its personnel are not at fault in causing the delay or failure to perform; (c) the default or delay could not have been anticipated, prepared for, or prevented by the use of reasonable precautions commonly employed by persons and entities in the business of the affected party; and (d) the delay or failure to perform cannot reasonably be circumvented by the non-performing party through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans, or other means.
2.2. Service Levels.
(a) Availability SLA. The Availability for the Wyng Service for any given month will be 99.5% (“Availability SLA”).
2.3. Scheduled/Unscheduled Maintenance.
WYNG shall provide notice 72 hours in advance of any Scheduled Maintenance where Downtime is reasonably possible or expected. Scheduled Maintenance shall occur during the hours of 11 pm and 8 am U.S. Eastern Time (“Maintenance Window”). All notices of Scheduled Maintenance or Unscheduled Maintenance shall be provided to CUSTOMER’s designated support contact via the Wyng Status Tracking web page (https://status.wyng.com) or equivalent channel.
2.4. Service Measurement; Reporting.
WYNG shall monitor its compliance with the Availability SLA and will provide an updated report to CUSTOMER on a monthly basis containing sufficient data for CUSTOMER to determine WYNG’s compliance or non-compliance, via the Wyng Status Tracking web page (https://status.wyng.com) or equivalent channel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CUSTOMER shall have the right to set up monitoring systems, or use third party systems to measure availability of the Wyng Service, Support, and any components thereof.
2.5. Credit Request and Payment Procedures.
(a) Eligibility. To be eligible for Service Credits:
(i) The Level of Support set out in the applicable Agreement governing the services must be Wyng Premium Support, and
(ii) CUSTOMER must promptly notify WYNG of each incident where CUSTOMER believes WYNG failed to meet the Availability SLA or the Action Timelines specified in Section 1.2(b)(i).
(b) Service Credit for Failure to Meet Availability SLA. Should WYNG fail to meet the Availability SLA, measured monthly during the Term, CUSTOMER shall receive a credit (each, a “Service Credit”) of 10% of the monthly fees or prorated equivalent (e.g., 1/12 of the annual fees, if paid annually) for the Wyng Service as set out in the applicable Order Document for each whole or partial point of shortfall in Availability relative to Availability SLA in that month (up to 30% of CUSTOMER’s monthly fees for the Wyng Service). Refer to table below for the Service Credit that should be applied:
