Exhibit A- SLA
This Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) is an integral part of Hopper Inc. (“Hopper”)’s End User SaaS Agreement (“Agreement”) and is subject to the terms, conditions, disclaimers, and limitations (including limitation of liability) set forth therein. Defined terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement, unless defined otherwise herein.
AVAILABILITY
This SLA provides certain remedies in the event that Hopper experiences Downtime (defined below) solely as a result of failure of Hopper’s infrastructure. The overall Availability (defined below) metric, to be provided on a reasonable efforts’ basis, is 99.9%, measured by Hopper on a monthly basis, as set forth herein ("SLA Metric").
DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this SLA, the terms in bold are defined as follows:
Available or Availability means when the Platform is active and enabled and Customer has reasonable access to the Platform, subject to the exclusions defined in Downtime below.
Business Hours means each hour during a Business Day (defined below).
Business Days means 9:00 AM EST to 5:00 PM EST, on Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
Downtime means the total number of minutes that Customer cannot access the Platform. The calculation of Downtime excludes time that Customer is unable to access the Platform due to any of the following: (a) Maintenance Time; (b) Customer’s own Internet service provider; (c) Force majeure event; (d) Any systemic Internet failures; (e) Any failure in Customer’s own hardware, software or network connection; (f) Customer’s bandwidth restrictions; (g) Customer’s acts or omissions; (h) Anything outside of the direct control of Hopper; or (i) Customer’s failure to comply with any User Responsibilities, user qualifications or user requirements detailed herein.
Maintenance Time means the time period during which the Platform may not be Available each month so that Hopper can perform routine maintenance to maximize performance or upgrade the Platform, on an as needed basis.
Total Monthly Minutes means the number of days in the month multiplied by 1,440 minutes per day.
MAINTENANCE NOTICES
Hopper will make reasonable efforts to communicate the date and time that Hopper intends to make the Platform unavailable at least forty-eight (48) Business Hours in advance (or longer if practical). Customer understands and agrees that there may be instances where Hopper needs to interrupt the Platform without notice in order to protect the integrity of the Platform due to security issues, virus attacks, spam issues, or other unforeseen circumstances. Below are the Maintenance windows and their definitions:
Emergency Maintenance: These change controls happen immediately with little to no notification ahead of time.
Preventative Maintenance: These change controls are when Hopper detects an item in the environment that Hopper needs to take action on, to avoid emergency change controls in the future. These change controls, if possible, will usually occur in low peak hours with peak being defined by Hopper’s network metrics.
Planned Maintenance: These are change controls being done to: (a) Support ongoing product and operational projects to ensure optimal performance; (b) Deploy non-critical service packs or patches; and (c) Periodic redundancy testing. Where possible planned maintenance will be notified five (5) Business Days prior; however, certain circumstances may preclude Hopper from doing so, such as an external vendor issuing a change control to Hopper (e.g. the power company alerting Hopper to perform power testing 48 hours ahead of time, etc.).
USER RESPONSIBILITIES
Minimum Requirements: The required configurations Customer must have to access the Platform include: (a) Internet connection with adequate bandwidth; (b) Internet browser; (c) SCM (source code management) integration; and (d) Slack integration.
Web-based Administration Interface: The Platform includes an interface that constitutes the Web-based Administration Interface provided to all users enabled with the Platform, therefore the users can manage their own account. Customer should use discretion when granting internal administrative privileges to the Web-based Administration Interface. Hopper is not responsible for Downtime related to negligence in the Web-based Administration Interface.
Please note that this SLA does not include any backup or recovery Platform services.
SERVICE LEVELS AND CREDITS
Term of SLA: This SLA shall only become applicable to the Platform upon ninety (90) days following the activation of the Platform and shall not apply upon termination or expiration of the Agreement.
Measurement: Hopper uses a proprietary system to measure whether the Platform is Available, and Customer agrees that said Hopper system will be the sole basis for resolution of any dispute that may arise between Customer and Hopper regarding this SLA.
Availability is calculated based on the following formula:
A = (T – M – D) / (T – M) x 100%
A = Availability
T = Total Monthly Minutes
M = Maintenance Time
D = Downtime
Hopper will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to support tickets as follows:
Level of Error*: Critical
Definition: An event or problem that has a significant business impact, or an immediate severe impact to a core business process or an operation that is mission critical to the business. The event or problem may render the Platform non-functional.
Estimated Response Time: Four (4) Business Hours of Hopper confirming Customer’s support ticket.
Level of Error*: High
Definition: An event or problem that has a major business impact or a critical operation. The event or problem may severely limit the operation of the Platform.
Estimated Response Time: Eight (8) Business Hours of Hopper confirming Customer’s support ticket.
Level of Error*: Medium
Definition: An event or problem that disrupts the operation of the Platform. A workaround is available and use of the Platform can continue.
Estimated Response Time: Two (2) Business Days of Hopper confirming Customer’s support ticket.
Level of Error*: Low
Definition: An event or problem that has limited business impact, is not critical in nature or does not have any significant impact.
Estimated Response Time: Five (5) Business Days of Hopper confirming Customer’s support ticket.
* To be determined by Hopper on a case base by case basis at Hopper’s sole discretion
In the event that, in any given month, the Availability measured by Hopper is lower than the SLA Metric for longer than two (2) consecutive hours, then Customer shall be entitled to receive a credit of one percent (1%) of the monthly fees payable by Customer for the license to use the Platform (“Monthly Fees”) for each consecutive hour following such two (2) initial hours in which the Availability measured by Hopper is still lower than the SLA Metric (“Credit”). However, the total Credit provided to Customer per month shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Monthly Fees.
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
The remedies set forth herein shall be Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and Hopper’s sole and exclusive liability for failure to meet this SLA, the SLA Metric, or the service levels herein.
