  • Availability

"Availability" only applies for Software Services and is calculated as the percentage of time where:

  • the data and the product association with IOT devices are received by the Software, and
  • the graphical interface is accessible through the internet.

Availability is guaranteed to be at or above the levels described in the chart below. Availability will be calculated per calendar month, as follows:

Where:

-    "Total" is the total number of minutes in the specified calendar month, and

-    "Non-excluded" is the number of minutes of unplanned downtime, and

-    "Excluded" consists of the following:

- "Agreed Down-Time" for maintenance or upgrade whereby, for major releases or upgrades, SES‑imagotag gives the Client prior notice that the Software Services will be unavailable.

For any partial calendar month during which the Client subscribes to the Software Services, Availability will be calculated based on the full calendar month, not just the portion during which the Client subscribed.

Should SES‑imagotag fail to achieve ninety nine percent (99%) system availability over a calendar month, the Client shall have the right to receive a credit equal to one percent (1%) of its subscription fees for the Software Services for that month, for each one percent (1%) (or portion thereof) by which SES‑imagotag fails to achieve such level, up to one hundred percent (100%) of the fees for such month. This is the Client's sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this service level warranty. Claims under this service level warranty must be made in good faith and by submitting a support case within ten (10) business days after the end of the relevant period. Availability is further limited as set forth in Section 18.2 ("Availability Specific Disclaimers").
