Schedule A - Service Level Terms

Subject to Customer’s payment of the Service Fees, Dynepic will provide the Service Levels and Support as described here in:

A Service Level.

Dynepic endeavors to make the playPORTAL Services available with 99.5% availability. Dynepic measures Service Unavailability by consecutive seconds over the period of a year.

B Definitions.

1 Service Availability: means the playPORTAL APIs are available for Customer use and is measured by consecutive seconds over the period of a calendar month (other than Scheduled Maintenance). Availability is calculated on playPORTAL data gathered through internal Dynepic and third party monitoring tools.

2 Scheduled Maintenance: The period during which Dynepic is performing maintenance on the playPORTAL Service, for which the Customer has been previously alerted per the terms specified in the Scheduled Maintenance Notification paragraph below. Scheduled Maintenance is not considered Service Unavailability for purposes of playPORTAL's Service Unavailability SLA.

3 Customer Product Offerings: The software developed by the Customer that makes use of the playPORTAL Service, including any playPORTAL Client libraries (“Libraries”) that have not been modified by the Customer.

4 playPORTAL Client Libraries: The playPORTAL Client Libraries made available by Dynepic. The playPORTAL Client Libraries are designed to be embedded within the Customer Product Offerings to facilitate the use of the playPORTAL Service.

5 playPORTAL Services: Services provided to the customer by Dynepic.

C Scheduled Maintenance Notification

In the event that Dynepic needs to conduct Scheduled Maintenance, Dynepic will (a) give Customer at least 72 hours of notice via email of any scheduled downtime for the Services, and (b) make commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the downtime.

D Service Credits for Service Unavailability

1 Service Credit Request. To receive a Service Credit, Customer must submit a request by sending an e-mail message to support@dynepic.com within ten (10) days of the last reported Service Unavailability. If the Service Unavailability is confirmed by Dynepic and the number of Service Unavailability seconds qualifies the Customer for a Service Credit, then Dynepic will issue the Service Credit to the Customer within one Billing Cycle following the month in which the request occurred.
2 Payment Procedures and Eligibility. Dynepic will apply any Service Credits only against future playPORTAL Service payments otherwise due from Customer. Service Credits shall not entitle the Customer to any refund or other payment from Dynepic. Service Credits may not be transferred or applied to any other playPORTAL account. Any Service Unavailability occurring prior to a successful Service Credit claim cannot be used for future claims. Customers are only eligible for a Service Credit if their playPORTAL account is in good standing (i.e., there are no past-due unpaid playPORTAL invoices) during a Service Unavailability event. Unless otherwise provided in the playPORTAL Agreement, the Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, and Dynepic’s sole liability, for any unavailability or non-performance of the playPORTAL Services or other failure by Dynepic to provide the playPORTAL Services is the receipt of a Service Credit (if eligible) in accordance with the terms of this SLA.
Service Credit Exclusions.
