1. Scorebuddy’s Uptime Commitment
a. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Sentient will use all reasonable endeavours to have a 99.5% availability each calendar month (the “Uptime Commitment”);
b. The availability of the Scorebuddy for a given month will be calculated according to the following formula (referred to herein as the “Availability”):
Where: Total minutes in the month= TMM; Total minutes in month unavailable = TMU; and: Availability = ((TMM-TMU) x 100)/TMM.
c. For the purposes of this calculation, Scorebuddy will be deemed to be unavailable to the extent the applicable Sentient Scorebuddy servers will not accept connections. A SaaS Service will not be deemed to be unavailable for any downtime or outages excluded from such calculation by reason of the exceptions set forth below in these
2. Exceptions to the Uptime Commitment
a. The SaaS Services will not be considered to be unavailable for any outage that results from any maintenance performed by Sentient:
(i) of which the Customer is notified at least 24 hours in advance;
(ii) during Customer’s implementation period;
(iii) during Sentient’s then-current standard maintenance windows (collectively referred to herein as “Scheduled Maintenance”); or
(iv) as a result of Customer’s request outside of the normally scheduled maintenance;
b. The SaaS Services will not be considered to be unavailable for any outage due to the Customer’s data or application programming, acts or omissions of Customer or its agents, failures of equipment or facilities provided by Customer, network unavailability or bandwidth limitations outside of Sentient network;
c. The SaaS Services will not be considered to be unavailable for any outage due to issues arising from bugs or other problems in the software, firmware or hardware of Sentient’s suppliers; and
d. The SaaS Services will not be considered to be unavailable for any outage due to Force majeure events.
The configuration being provided under the SaaS Services is based on assumptions made by Customer and based on information provided by a Customer. As a result, Sentient will not be responsible for any outages or performance issues caused by inaccuracies in these assumptions, including equipment and software failures or performance problems caused by traffic volume or the number of concurrent user sessions.
3. Configurations Changes; Customer Supported Software
These specifications are based on a standard configuration of the SaaS Services to provide the performance level contemplated by the Uptime Commitment in this Agreement. If Sentient notifies the Customer that it has determined that Customer’s configuration is not suited to provide this level of performance, this Agreement will be suspended until Customer and Sentient agree upon and implement a new or modified configuration designed to provide this level of performance.
4. Customer may request changes in the Services to be performed by Sentient by completing a Change Request Form. Such requested changes will be made in writing and, in the event of acceptance by Sentient, signed by the authorized representatives of Sentient and Client. All changes will subsequently be incorporated in an amendment to the Agreement and will specify the change requested any changes in the price, adjustment to the schedule of performance and any changes to the terms and conditions. Until such time as the change is accepted by Sentient, Sentient shall continue to supply the Services as originally agreed.
Support is divided into 3 categories:
| Definition | Response Time | Hours Cover | |
| P1 | The service is not operational, and no workaround exists. Examples include: System outage or non-availability of service | 4 hours | 24 x 7 |
| P2 | Service is impaired, does not work as proposed, but it is operational. | 8 hours | Normal office hours |
| P3 | Functionality or user related questions. Examples include: How do I apply weighting to a scorecard. How do I change a user’s access | 8-16 working hours | Normal office hours |
