2. Service Levels

  1. Provision of cloud Services. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the cloud Service available 99.5% of the time, calculated on a monthly basis, except for: (i) planned downtime (of which we shall give at least forty-eight (48) hours electronic notice, and (ii) any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including, for example, an act of God, act of government, flood, fire, earthquake, civil unrest, act of terror, strike or other labor problem (other than one involving our employees), Internet service provider failure or delay, or denial of service attack. We will not modify the terms of this subsection 2(a) during the initial terms of your subscription. Any updated terms will be reflected in your renewal term.
    i. Requesting Credits. If the Offering does not meet the 99.5% availability described above, then you may be eligible for a credit towards your service fees. A claim must be sent to [email protected] for us to consider any credit requests. A valid claim must include the following information:

    ii. A detailed description of the incident(s) that caused the downtime;
    iii. Information regarding the time and duration of the downtime;
    iv. The number and location(s) of affected users (if applicable), and;
    v. Descriptions of your attempts to resolve the incident(s) causing the downtime at the time of occurrence.
  2. Credits. Credits are your sole and exclusive remedy for any availability issues related to this Service. You may not unilaterally offset service fees for availability issues. Credits will be calculated as the credit for the corresponding months fees for the specific Offering that failed to meet the availability described above only (calculated on a straight line pro-rated basis with respect to any fees paid in advance).

    Uptime Percentage (UP) Credit Percentage (CP)
    95% <= UP < 99.5% 10%
    90% <= UP < 95% 20%
    UP < 90% 40%
  3. Disaster Recovery (DR). While our cloud Services are built on Azure’s highly available and resilient services for storage and compute, we have put in place DR procedures to protect against catastrophic events. In case of such event, we will use these procedures to deliver reasonable best efforts for data Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO).
  4. Data Backup: We are using Microsoft backup technology, currently MS Azures 7-day data retention functionality, for both database and file storage. In addition, we are using geo-redundant data storage for both databases and files – Exception: Geo-redundancy for SQL server is not supported by Microsoft in South-Africa region. The data copy to the other geography is a “cold” backup that can be brought online if the primary location is down.
  5. Reporting & Monitoring: Health Check and Smoke test services are running for all components in Production environments on short intervals. We also have automatic Monitoring 24/7 with live alerts on sent out and monitored for issues of all types.
  6. Audit & Tests: We have implemented multiple environments for development, testing, and production. We also have automated unit tests, integration tests (API) and end-to-end tests (E2E) running in our pipelines to detect bugs that were not detected during code reviews. Performance tests are done by QA team regularly to ensure high performance in all use cases. Every year we hire external consultants to do penetration tests against our applications to detect any security issues.
  7. Software Updates: Compusoft regularly develops enhancements to our products as well as permanent solutions for known Compusoft Products problems, Compusoft will, from time to time, incorporate such enhancements and solutions into planned updates to the Compusoft Products, as applicable, ("Updates"). Such Updates may also include those enhancements and extensions or other changes to the Compusoft Products as are determined by Compusoft to be suitable to the use-cases made of the Compusoft Products by Compusoft's licensees.
