Service Level Agreement 
INTRODUCTION

This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") establishes the performance objectives applicable to the SaaS under the  Agreement and provides Customer certain rights and remedies in the event of an unexcused failure of EdBrix to meet  them.  
COVERED SERVICES  This SLA covers and applies to the following SaaS Modules to be provided by EdBrix under the Agreement:

  • Module 1
  • Module 2

SERVICE LEVEL OBJECTIVES AND SERVICE LEVEL CREDITS  The following are EdBrix's Service Level Objectives ("SLOs") for the above-listed SaaS Modules. These SLOs will take effect for Customer starting on the date of Customer's first use of the specified SaaS Modules in live production operations. The Service Level Credits that Customer will be entitled to receive in the event of an unexcused failure by EdBrix to meet the SLOs are also set out in the following table – they become applicable starting with the first full calendar month after Customer's first live production use of the specified Service Modules.

Service Component Availability:

  • Module 1- 99.5% per month
  • Module 2– 99.5% per month

"Availability" means the percentage of the scheduled hours of availability during a calendar month that the indicated  SaaS Module (or the Hosting Environment) is actually available to its intended users. Availability is calculated  according to the following formula:  
(Scheduled Hours of Availability - Downtime) ÷ Scheduled Hours of Availability Where:  
"Scheduled Hours of Availability" means the total number of hours during the month that the indicated SaaS  Module or the Hosting Environment is scheduled to be available - excluding scheduled maintenance windows. This  will be calculated as 16 hours (from 6am Pacific Time to 10 pm Pacific Time) of every business day during the month  (excluding weekends and public holidays). 
"Downtime" means the total number of hours during the month that the indicated SaaS Module or the Hosting  Environment is not available for use by its intended users during scheduled hours of availability. To clarify, downtime  will be calculated as the time the system is not available during the 16 hours of scheduled availability, namely 6 am  Pacific Time to 10 pm Pacific Time of every business day during the month (excluding weekends and public  holidays).
Service Level Credit for System Availability: A percentile of the applicable month's Subscription Fee for the affected  SaaS Module(s) (or the Hosting Environment)) for each cumulative hour of Downtime (or portion thereof rounded to  the next hour) during the month in excess of the amount of Downtime allowed by the SLO. 
System Uptime: EdBrix will make the cloud-based solution available 24x7, except for the periods of scheduled  maintenance, daily data refreshes (10 pm Pacific Time to 6 am Pacific Time), published downtimes of Cloud Platform  and Software providers (Google Cloud, Snowflake, AWS, FiveTran or other service providers) or other emergency or  Force Majeure reasons. For SLA purposes, EdBrix is measured by the Scheduled Hours of Availability defined  above, and not by the System Uptime. 
Scheduled and Emergency Maintenance. EdBrix reserves the right to take down applicable servers hosting the SaaS  Software to conduct scheduled and emergency maintenance.  Schedule Maintenance - A scheduled maintenance is one where the changes to the environment doesn’t impact the  application or the user in any possible manner. EdBrix reserves the right to take down applicable servers hosting the  Service to conduct routine scheduled maintenance ("Scheduled Maintenance") during the hours of 7pm Pacific Time  Saturday to 6 am Pacific Time Sunday every week or any revised schedule published by EdBrix. EdBrix will use  commercially reasonable efforts to perform Scheduled Maintenance outside of Customer's regular business hours and  will provide Customer with at least 96 hours’ prior notice of a Scheduled Maintenance event, which notice may be  provided by EdBrix posting the schedule for Scheduled Maintenance on its website or otherwise providing notice of it  through the Service. If Customer objects to the timing of a Scheduled Maintenance event, EdBrix and Customer will  make all reasonable accommodations work to reschedule the event to a time that is acceptable to both parties if EdBrix is reasonably able to do so. EdBrix will not be responsible for any damages or costs incurred by Customer due to  unavailability of the Service during Scheduled Maintenance of if the Customer unreasonably withholds consent for the  Scheduled Maintenance event. 

Emergency Maintenance - If the Service unexpectedly becomes unavailable or experiences a serious disruption, EdBrix will promptly notify Customer and commence performance of emergency maintenance with the objective of restoring  Service as soon as reasonably possible under the circumstances. EdBrix will not be responsible for any damages or  costs incurred by Customer due to unavailability of the Service during Emergency Maintenance

2. Cloud Deployment 
We offer the SaaS Solution as a fully managed service on the cloud, where we take care of all the cloud  infrastructure requirements – storage, compute, and other details. We support Production instance, with load balancing and fail-overs, and a set of non-production instances (Development, Test, UAT, and Pre-Prod) as  required to support the subscribed modules. The cloud instances are sized per the data volumes, user count,  and other customer details. Any change in the data volumes or user count or other factors may require a  change to the cloud configuration, with a potential additional charge.
3. Support Requests 
Customers will use EdBrix supplied web-based ticketing system (JIRA) with severity as defined below.  Customers are allowed to assign a maximum severity level of "HIGH." Where required, the Customer will follow  up with EdBrix Support Desk for expediting or upgrading any "HIGH" severity issue. Phone support will be  available during the mentioned support hours. Following defect triage, EdBrix will upgrade an issue as 'Critical' if  it meets the criteria.  
EdBrix will maintain the Jira board and provide timely updates to the customer depending on the severity of the  issue. EdBrix will give access to a list of users who can access the Jira board and evaluate the status of the  requests at any point in time. 
Following are the request types:

  • Defect: Instances where the application is not performing as per the defined requirements
  • Enhancement: Additional changes, features requests for the application. These requests would be new requirements and would be handled on the merit of the request. The decision to implement any enhancement would be solely with EdBrix.
  • Clarification: Any clarification on calculations or knowledge transfer requests from technical or business users, including, but not limited to, clarification on system usage, calculations, configuration, and others.
  • Task: Any ad-hoc request, like running certain types of data extract for validation. The decision to implement any task in the existing contract clause would be solely with EdBrix.

Customers can also assign the priority to the requests to provide their input regarding the urgency of the  request. Any work request from Jira will automatically be notified to the EdBrix Support Team. 
Only defects are covered in full by the Subscription Agreement. Customer acknowledges that Clarification and  Tasks are not SLA bound, and done on a best-effort basis, decided by EdBrix, based on the merits of the case,  availability of bandwidth, and other considerations.  
EdBrix will provide support services with agreed levels of responsiveness, as detailed in Attachment A,  Maintenance and Support. 
4. Enhancement Requests EdBrix encourages customers to log their requests for enhancements using the Support Ticket mechanism  described in Section 4. 
Requests can be for customer-specific requirements or changes, and also for general solution/product  improvement. Customers can use Enhancement requests to record details of new features, capabilities,  metrics, KPIs, data sources, or other functional and technical enhancements. 
EdBrix is committed to taking the inputs from customers and increasing the usability, value, stability, scalability,  performance, and other aspects of the subscribed solution. 
EdBrix will classify the enhancement requests into Customer-specific enhancement and general improvements.  EdBrix will add all general improvements to Solution Enhancements' roadmap and consider them suitably the  quarterly updates.  
All customer-specific enhancements will be reviewed and prioritized with the customer. EdBrix will determine  the level of effort, timeline, and the costs associated (fixed or Time and Materials) for the specific enhancements. Upon customer approval, EdBrix will build and deliver the necessary enhancement to the cloud  solution. Any enhancement requiring additional costs will be processed using Customers' standard change  order process. 
All enhancements made to EdBrix Solution, whether customer requested or not, are part of EdBrix Inc.'s  intellectual property, and EdBrix will possess all rights to suitably use them in any part of its solution or offering,  unless agreed to otherwise in any change order executed with the Customer. 
In case required by the Customer, EdBrix and the Customer may agree for a bucket of hours for enhancements,  on T & M or another, that can be used to address customer-specific enhancements and general enhancements. 
5. EdBrix Initiated Quarterly Updates 
EdBrix maintains a regular roadmap with quarterly updates to deliver new modules, new functionality,  enhancements to existing solution modules, technical and technology improvements, performance  optimizations, security improvements, cloud component optimization, and other improvements. Where required,  EdBrix also delivers specific enhancements in its monthly release cycle.  
EdBrix will add customer-requested generic enhancement to its roadmap and deliver them suitably. EdBrix will  keep the customer informed of the upgrades and planned releases and provide notes for each release using the  K12360 Knowledge Base.
