-
-
2.2 Non-exclusive: The Supplier’s provision of the Services to the Client is non-exclusive. Nothing in the Agreement prevents the Supplier from providing the Services to any other person.
2.3 Availability:
-
- The Supplier will use all reasonable efforts to ensure the SaaS Service is available on a 24/7 basis with a guaranteed 99.5% uptime, as defined below. However, it is possible that on rare occasions the SaaS Service may be unavailable to permit maintenance or other development activity to take place, or in the event of Force Majeure. The Supplier will use reasonable efforts to publish on the Website and/or notify the Client by email in advance about details of any unavailability. The supplier will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that such maintenance or updates that may disrupt client’s access to software is not done during normal business hours so as to minimize any inconvenience. Reasonable downtime of SaaS Service notified by Supplier to Client in advance in accordance with this clause should not count towards the said 99.5% uptime requirement.
- Through the use of web services and APIs, the SaaS Service interoperates with a range of third party service features. The Supplier does not make any warranty or representation on the availability of those features. Without limiting the previous sentence, if a third party feature provider ceases to provide that feature or ceases to make that feature available on reasonable terms, the Supplier may cease to make available that temporarily until a suitable alternative third party service provider is not acquired. To avoid doubt, if the Supplier exercises its right to cease the availability of a third party feature, the Client is not entitled to any refund, discount or other compensation.
- The Supplier does not make any warranty or representation on the availability when
- The Client has made unauthorized changes to the configuration or set up of affected equipment, software or services.
- The Client has prevented the Supplier from performing required maintenance and update tasks.
- the cause is reasonably beyond the Supplier control. For instance: floods, war, civil unrest etc.
- the Client is in breach of this contract with Vendor for any reason (e.g. late payment of fees, improper use, violation of terms, etc.).
- Measurement and penalties
- Uptime is measured over each calendar month. It is calculated to the nearest minute, based on the number of minutes in the given month (for instance, a 31-day month contains 44,640 minutes).
- The Client must report the downtime at the time it occurs, and must claim any credits by presenting documented evidence of the SaaS Service unavailability within fifteen (15) days of occurrence of the relevant unavailability.
- If uptime of the SaaS Service availability drops below the threshold, a penalty will be applied in the form of a credit for the client.
- This means the following month’s fee payable by the client will be reduced on a proportional downtime basis.
- The level of penalty will be calculated depending on the number of hours for which the service was unavailable, minus the downtime permitted by the SLA.
- Uptime penalties in any month are capped at 50% of the total monthly fee.
- Uptime measurements exclude periods of routine maintenance.
- Service requests and support
- Email support: monitored 9am-7pm SGT Monday-Friday
Emails received outside of office hours will be collected, however, no action can be guaranteed until the next business day. - The Supplier will respond to service-related incidents and/or requests submitted by the Client within the following time frames:
- 0-8 hours (during business hours) for issues classified as High priority (The SaaS Service has completely ceased to function).
- Within 48 hours for issues classified as Medium priority (The SaaS Services are working, but certain functionalities of the SaaS Service are unavailable which requires attention/solution as soon as possible).
- Within 5 working days for issues classified as Low priority (These are minor issues that do not fall under any of the above severity levels and that do not have any significant impact on the ability to use the Software Service features and functionalities).
- Email support: monitored 9am-7pm SGT Monday-Friday
2.4 Additional Related Services:
-
- The Supplier may, from time to time, make available additional services to supplement the SaaS Service (such as embedded payments and financing solutions in stages geographically across different countries)
