Service Level Agreement
Version:
1.1
Last Updated:
Jun 2, 2024
This Service Level Agreement (the "SLA") is incorporated into and forms part of the Subscription Agreement between Tightknit Inc. ("Tightknit") and Customer (the "Agreement"). The SLA applies to the Services provided by Tightknit for Enterprise Customers as specified in an Order Form during the applicable Subscription Term.
1. Uptime Commitment
Tightknit will provide Actual Availability for at least ninety-nine and nine-tenths percent (99.9%) of the total time in each calendar month during the Subscription Term, as measured by Tightknit (the "Uptime Commitment").
2. Service Credits
If the Uptime Commitment is not met during any calendar month of the Subscription Term, Customer will be eligible for a service credit ("Service Credit"), provided that Customer reports the failure to meet the Uptime Commitment and requests the Service Credit in accordance with this SLA. The Service Credit will be calculated as follows:
Actual Availability and Credit Percentage:
< 99.9% but ≥ 99.0%: 5%
< 99.0% but ≥ 98.0%: 10%
< 98.0% but ≥ 96.0%: 15%
< 96.0%: 20%
The Service Credit will be X * Y, where X = the total fees due from Customer to Tightknit for the affected Services for the relevant calendar month, and Y = the Credit Percentage corresponding to the Actual Availability provided for the relevant month.
3. Credit Requests and Payment
To request a Service Credit, Customer must send an email to Tightknit at [email protected] within thirty (30) days of the end of the month in which the Uptime Commitment was not met. Customer must include either its account ID or registered email address and the previously reported dates and times of the Service unavailability. If Tightknit confirms that Customer is eligible for a Service Credit, Tightknit will issue a credit to Customer's account within thirty (30) days. Service Credits are not refunds, cannot be exchanged for cash, and may only be used against future billing charges. Except as set forth in Section 4 below, the Service Credits shall be Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, and Tightknit's sole and exclusive liability, for any failure to meet the Uptime Commitment.
4. Definitions
All capitalized terms not defined in this SLA have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.
4.1 Scheduled Availability
"Scheduled Availability" means the time, in minutes, that the applicable Services are generally accessible and available to Customer's Permitted Users.
4.2 Unscheduled Downtime
