In a SaaS deployment, the Services shall be available 99.5% of the time, measured on a monthly basis, excluding scheduled maintenance (the “Availability Requirement”).
The Services are hosted on the Customer’s virtual private cloud (VPC) servers and are therefore available only to the extent that the Customer’s servers are able to support them.
RapidCanvas will provide the Customer with at least twenty-four (24) hours’ advance written notice of any scheduled maintenance and will use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule such maintenance during off-peak usage times.
If maintenance is requested by the Customer, any uptime or downtime calculation will exclude periods affected by such maintenance.
Any downtime resulting from:
other reasons beyond RapidCanvas’s reasonable control or of which RapidCanvas is unaware shall be excluded from availability calculations.
The Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and RapidCanvas’s entire liability, in connection with Service availability is as follows:
For each period of downtime lasting longer than one (1) hour, RapidCanvas will credit the Customer with one (1) additional day of Service.
Downtime shall begin to accrue once the Customer, with notice to RapidCanvas, recognizes that downtime is occurring and shall continue until the Services are restored.
To receive a downtime credit, the Customer must notify RapidCanvas in writing within seven (7) days of the downtime.
Failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit.
Downtime credits:
may not be redeemed for cash,
are not cumulative beyond a maximum of seven (7) additional days of Service in any single calendar month, and
will be applied at the end of the current Service Term.
RapidCanvas will not grant downtime credits for any period during which the Customer received the Services free of charge.
