Service Level Agreement

1. Agreement Overview
1.1. Service Level Agreement
This is a Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) between you (“Customer”) and Pelcro. This agreement identifies and describes the services required and the expected level of services that customers of Pelcro will receive within their corresponding subscription to Pelcro’s software as a service (“SaaS”) offering(s). This SLA should be read alongside the terms of service, as well as the contract that customers have with Pelcro, as they may contain conditions which supplement or override this SLA.
This SLA is subject to review and renewal, at which point a new updated SLA will be available on this page.
1.2. Purpose
The purpose of this SLA is to ensure that the proper elements and commitments are in place to specify the requirements of the services, support and delivery to the Customer(s) by Pelcro on the production environment as defined herein.
The goal of this Agreement is to obtain mutual agreement for service provision between the Pelcro and Customer(s).
The objectives of this Agreement are to:
-
Provide clear reference to service ownership, accountability, roles and/or responsibilities.

Present a clear, concise and measurable description of service provision to the customer.
-
Match perceptions of expected service provision with actual service support & delivery.

2. Service Agreement
2.1. Target Availability
Pelcro will use commercially reasonable efforts to make each Service available with an uptime of 99.9% of each calendar month (“Target Availability”). The calculation of uptime will not include unavailability to the extent due to: (a) use of the Service by Customer in a manner not authorized in this Agreement or the applicable Documentation; (b) general Internet problems, force majeure events or other factors outside of Pelcro's reasonable control; (c) Customer's equipment, software, network connections or other infrastructure; (d) third party systems, acts or omissions; or (e) Scheduled Maintenance or reasonable emergency maintenance. You can view our availability here. Note that Pelcro implements an alerting system on all systems informing us if there is any outage in any of our services.
2.2. Planned Downtime
General maintenance may call for service downtime where the Services may be stopped. Pelcro will schedule and communicate any planned downtimes in advance, and will keep the planned downtime to a minimum. Pelcro will aim to schedule service upgrades outside of peak hours.
In rare situations, some critical activities will be affected by planned upgrades, and we will communicate this very clearly if that is the case. However, during an upgrade, the user interface may become unresponsive for a short period of time, which may affect anyone who is attempting to access or make changes to the system.
