SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT

  1. Scope of the Agreement
    1. Overview. This Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) describes the standard software as a service support levels currently offered by Fleetworthy Solutions, Inc. (“Fleetworthy”) to its Customers who are subject to the following agreements with Fleetworthy: an Order Form for Services, including associated Supplements (as defined in the Order Form); the General Terms and Conditions for such Services; and the End User License Agreement for Software associated with such Services (collectively all of these agreements are the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
    2. Definition of Support Services. This SLA describes the availability and support offered by Fleetworthy for the Fleetworthy Software that is identified on the Order Form between Fleetworthy and the Customer.
  2. Service Availability & Scheduled Maintenance.
    1. Service Availability. Fleetworthy will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide availability to the Software, in accordance with the Fleetworthy Materials and terms and conditions hereof, at least ninety nine and one half percent (99.5%) of the time (“Service Level”) as measured over the course of each calendar month (each such calendar month, a “Service Period”), excluding unavailability as a result of any of the Exceptions described below in this Section 2.2 (the “Availability Requirement“). “Service Level Failure” means a material failure of the Software to meet the Availability Requirement. “Available” means the Software is available for access and use by Customer and its Authorized Users over the Internet and operating in material accordance with the Fleetworthy Materials. Test environments are expressly excluded from this SLA.
    2. Service Availability Exceptions. For purposes of calculating the Availability Requirement, the following are “Exceptions” to the Availability Requirement, and neither the Software will be considered un-Available nor any Service Level Failure be deemed to occur in connection with any failure to meet the Availability Requirement or impaired ability of Customer or its Authorized Users to access or use the Software that is due, in whole or in part, to any:
      1. Scheduled Downtime;
      2. Software downtime or degradation due to a Force Majeure Event;
      3. an act or omission by you to use of the Software, or using your Access Credentials, that does not strictly comply with this Agreement and the Fleetworthy Materials;
      4. Customer’s internet connectivity;
      5. failure, interruption, outage or other problem with any software, hardware, system, network, facility or other matter not supplied by Fleetworthy pursuant to this Agreement;
      6. any other circumstances beyond Fleetworthy’s reasonable control, including the Authorized User’s use of Third Party Materials, misuse of the Software, or use of the Services other than in compliance with the express terms of this Agreement and the Fleetworthy Materials; and
      7. any suspension or termination of the Authorized User’s access to or use of the Software as permitted by this Agreement.
    3. Service Level Failures and Remedies. In the event of a Service Level Failure, Fleetworthy shall issue a credit to Customer “Service Credit” calculated using the following formula: Availability Requirement minus Available multiplied by the prepaid monthly fees for the Software due for the Service Period the Service Level Failure occurred, subject to the following:
      1. Fleetworthy has no obligation to issue any Service Credit unless Customer (i) reports the Service Failure to Fleetworthy immediately on becoming aware of it; and (ii) requests such Service Credit in writing within seven (7) days of the Service Level Failure; and
      2. in no event will a Service Level Credit for any Service Period exceed 15 percent of the total fees for the Software that would be payable for that Service Period if no Service Level Failure had occurred.
      For example, if the Availability Requirement is 99% and the Available time was 98% and the monthly fee for Software is $1,000, the Service Credit would be $10, calculated as follows: ( 99% – 98%) X $1,000. Any Service Credit payable to Customer under this Agreement will be issued to Customer in the calendar month following the Service Period in which the Service Level Failure occurred. This Section 2.3 sets forth Fleetworthy’s sole obligation and liability and Customer’s sole remedy for any Service Level Failure.
    4. Scheduled Downtime. Fleetworthy will use commercially reasonable efforts to; (a) schedule downtime for routine maintenance of the Software between the hours of 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., Central Time; and (b) give Customer at least 48 hours’ prior notice of all scheduled outages of the Hosted Services (“Scheduled Downtime“). In certain emergency situations (i.e., cyber-attack), it may not be possible to provide Customer notice.
