Service Level Agreement
The Services Availability shall be achieved to 99% during each calendar year of the Services Term.
“Services Availability” means the number of minutes in a year that the key components of the SaaS Services are operational as a percentage of the total number of minutes in such year, excluding downtime resulting from (a) scheduled maintenance; (b) events of Force Majeure; (c) malicious attacks on the system that disable or pose an unacceptable risk to provision of Services; (d) issues associated with Customer’s computing devices or systems, local area networks or internet service provider connections; (e) inability to deliver services because of acts or omissions of Customer or any User; (f) public holidays and weekends.
If Customer requests maintenance during these hours, any uptime or downtime calculation will exclude periods affected by such maintenance. Further, any downtime resulting from outages of third party connections or utilities or other reasons beyond Company’s control will also be excluded from any such calculation.
Company reserves the right to take the Services offline for scheduled maintenance for which Customer has been provided reasonable notice and Company reserves the right to change its maintenance windows upon prior notice to the Customer.
Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Company’s entire liability, in connection with Services Availability shall be that for each period of downtime lasting longer than one hour (60 minutes) attributable to failure or default of SaaS Services, Company will credit Customer 1% of Monthly Service fees for each period of 60 or more consecutive minutes of downtime; provided that no more than one such credit will accrue per day. Such downtime shall begin to accrue as soon as Customer notifies Company that downtime is taking place, and continues until the availability of the Services is restored. In order to receive such downtime credit, Customer must notify Company in writing within 24 hours from the time of downtime, and failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit. Such credits may not be redeemed for cash and shall not be cumulative beyond a total of credits for one (1) week of Service Fees in any one (1) calendar month in any event. Company will only apply a credit to the month in which the incident occurred. Company’s blocking of data communications or other Service in accordance with its policies shall not be deemed to be a failure of Company to provide adequate service levels under this Agreement. Downtime credits will not accrue in relation to downtime that is due to faults or failures in Customer’s systems or actions or failure to act, nor in relation to other causes not attributable to the adequacy of the Services. Company may elect to issue downtime credits in the form of extension of time rather than for the corresponding monetary value.
Support Terms
Company will provide Technical Support to Customer via both telephone and electronic mail on business days (Monday to Friday) during the hours of 9:00 am through 5:00 pm AEST, with the exclusion of public holidays and weekends (“Support Hours”).

The designated Users in the Customer’s organisation must undertake training to implement the Use of the SaaS Services in its business. An appropriate timetable for training will be ascertained and established by the Company at the Quote or Evaluation stage and will generally depend on the size of the Customer’s organisation and the number of people to be trained.
Training will take place over a period of approximately 2-8 weeks depending on the size and nature of the Customer’s business and the number of people to be trained as Users.
Training will include a combination of on-site instruction and/or remote screen sharing, as well as telephone and online support if required.
Training shall include at least two (2) training sessions of three (3) hours per week until completed to a satisfactory level in order to maintain 110% Money Back Guarantee on Implementation and Training.
Training sessions must be booked at least 10 days in advance to ensure availability. Blocks of 3 consecutive weeks should be allowed for training in order to maintain the continuity and efficacy of the training. Failure to complete the training programme within the allotted time and to meet the other terms and conditions voids the 110% Money Back Guarantee on Implementation and Training.
