Service Level Objectives

Availability Objective

DistillerSR Inc. will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide 99.5% availability, which is measured monthly as a rolling 12-month average. “Availability” means that the Subscription Services are available 24 hours per day, (7) seven days per week, excluding any scheduled and unscheduled maintenance time to implement updates, upgrades or other modifications.

Availability Calculation

In a given calendar month, we calculate “Availability” as follows:

Downtime

“Downtime” means the length of time the Subscription Services are not available for use.

Excused Downtime

“Excused Downtime” means the length of time that the Services are unavailable due to:

Scheduled Maintenance
Emergency Maintenance
Factors outside of our reasonable control, including any force majeure event or Internet access or related problems beyond the perimeter of the applicable Service
Any actions or inactions of the Customer or any third party
The Customer’s equipment, software or other technology and/or third-party equipment, software or other technology; or
Suspension or termination of your right to use the Service in accordance with these objectives

“Scheduled Maintenance” includes any maintenance performed during the following window or for when we provide reasonable notice or coordination with you in advance of the maintenance.

To the extent reasonably practicable Scheduled Maintenance, causing downtime (in excess of 5 minutes), shall be performed outside of regular business hours (as outlined herein). DistillerSR Inc. will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customers via System Messages in the DistillerSR application with a copy emailed to your designated DistillerSR system administrator(s), at least one (1) week prior to any Scheduled Maintenance to minimize the effect of such maintenance within the Subscription Services.

“Emergency Maintenance” means any maintenance performed outside Scheduled Maintenance windows without advance notice where such maintenance is reasonably and urgently required to protect the integrity, availability, or security of any online systems.
