SAAS Service Level Agreement

This SLA sets out the agreed service level for the Subscription Items provided by IGNOS on subscription basis to the Customer, as specified in the applicable Order Form (“Service Level“).

This SLA constitutes the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any failure by IGNOS to meet the Service Level and is only applicable if IGNOS has explicitly offered this SLA to the Customer.

1. Service Level: Operational SLA

IGNOS shall make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure an uptime of at least 99.5% of the Subscription Items as agreed in the Order Form between IGNOS and the Customer.

2. Service desk

IGNOS has a support service desk (“Service Desk”), which is available from 7 am to 5 pm (CET). The Customer shall contact the Service Desk via email support@ignos.no. The Customer’s request and the support provided by IGNOS shall be in English. Further availability must be agreed separately.

The Customer shall be responsible for organizing a first-line support team that shall have the sole interface with the Service Desk.

3. Service credits

If the Subscription Items does not meet the required Service Level and the downtime negatively impacts the operations of the Customer, then the Customer shall be entitled to a compensation in the form of service credits as set out in the table below (“Service Credits”). The Service Credits are only applicable for the Subscription Item(s) that are agreed between IGNOS and the Customer in the Subscription Order From.

The eligibility of Service Credits shall be determined by the aggregated availability of the delivered Subscription Items.

*The monthly fees are calculated by dividing the total subscription fee with the total number of months the subscription lasts.

In order for the Customer to be entitled to Service Credits under this SLA, the Customer shall submit a request for Service Credits within three months after the relevant period.

The maximum aggregate number of Service Credits issued by IGNOS to Customer for all downtime in a single month shall not exceed 50% of the amount due from the Customer for the Subscription Item for that applicable month.
