Service Commitment: 99.9% Uptime

Shippii will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Subscription Services available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage of at least 99.9% during any monthly billing cycle (the "Service Commitment"). Subject to the Shippii SLA Exclusions, if we do not meet the Service Commitment, you will be eligible to receive a Service Credit.
Uptime is calculated Monthly using the following formula: Uptime % = Uptime – Downtime / Uptime * 100
A Monthly Uptime Percentage of 99.9% means that we guarantee you will experience no more than 43.20 min/month of Unavailability.

Service Commitments and Service Credits

Service Credits are calculated as a percentage of the total charges paid by you (excluding one-time payments, e.g. for training, etc.) for the monthly billing cycle in which the Unavailability occurred in accordance with the schedule below:
• For Monthly Uptime Percentage, less than 99.9% but equal to or greater than 99.0%, you will be eligible for a 10% Service Credit.
• For Monthly Uptime Percentage less than 99.0%, you will be eligible for a 30% Service Credit.
  We will apply any Service Credits only against future payments for the Services otherwise due from you. At our discretion, we may issue the Service Credit to the credit card you used to pay for the billing cycle in which the Unavailability occurred. Service Credits will not entitle you to any refund or other payment from Shippii. Service Credits may not be transferred or applied to any other account.

Sole Remedy

Unless otherwise provided in the Terms of Use, your sole and exclusive remedy for any unavailability, non-performance, or other failure by us to provide the Subscription Services is the receipt of a Service Credit (if eligible) in accordance with the terms of this SLA.

Credit Request and Payment Procedures

To receive a Service Credit, you must submit a claim by emailing helpdesk@shippii.com. To be eligible, the credit request must be received by us by the end of the second billing cycle after which the incident occurred and must include:
• the words "SLA Credit Request" in the subject line;
• the dates and times of each Unavailability incident that you are claiming;
• the account handle(s); and
• logs that document the errors and corroborate your claimed outage (any confidential or sensitive information in these logs should be removed or replaced with asterisks).
If the Monthly Uptime Percentage of such 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.

Planned Maintenance

Shippii seeks to undertake planned maintenance (including to install updates and release) during time windows which we hope will have less impact on our customers. These windows are subjects, communicated as “planned maintenance” and are change controls to:
• Support on-going product and operational projects to ensure optimal performance and reliability of the Subscription Services.
• Deploy non-critical service packs or patches.
• Periodic redundancy testing and verification.
Where possible, notice of planned maintenance will be posted on our website at [insert link] at least 7-days prior. However, certain circumstances may preclude us from providing prior notification, such as an immediate threat, an application error or wide scale issue causing the interruption.

SLA Exclusions

The Service Commitment does not apply to any unavailability, suspension or termination of the Subscription Services, or any other Subscription Service performance issues:
• That result from a suspension of Services to Customer ;
• Caused by factors outside of our reasonable control, including any force majeure event, Internet access, or problems beyond the demarcation point of the Upodi services;
• That result from any actions or inactions of you or any third party;
• That result from the equipment, software or other technology of you or any third party (other than third party equipment within our direct control);
• That result from failures of Subscription Services not attributable to Unavailability; or
• That result from any Maintenance announced in accordance with this SLA.
• That result from DNS issues, DDOS attacks, public denial-of-internet to parts, or whole levels of the public internet and/or threat levels causing Shippii to take the service offline, to protect the integrity of customer data.
If availability is impacted by factors other than those used in our Monthly Uptime Percentage calculation, then we may issue a Service Credit considering such factors at our discretion.
