Service Level Agreement

This TomBot Service Level Agreement ("SLA") between Tombot ("Tombot", "us" or "we") and users of the TomBot Service ("you") governs the use of the TomBot Services under the provisions of the Tombot Terms of Service (the "Terms").

1. TomBot Service Availability: 99.99% Uptime

Tombot will use commercially reasonable efforts to make your TomBot Services running in Dedicated Environments available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage of at least 99.99% during any monthly billing cycle (the "Tombot Obligations"). In the event of a system outage, Tombot will proactively reach out to our clients to notify them of the issue & resolve the issue as soon as humanly possible.

Subject to the SLA Exclusions, if we do not meet the Obligations, you will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below.

2. Definitions

"Maintenance" means scheduled Unavailability of the Containerized Services, as announced by us prior to the Containerized Services becoming Unavailable.

"Availability Zone" and "AZ" means an isolated location within a region identified by a letter identifier following the region code (e.g., us-west-1a).

"Monthly Uptime Percentage" is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of minutes during the month in which the TomBot Containerized Services were Unavailable. Monthly Uptime Percentage measurements exclude downtime resulting directly or indirectly from any SLA Exclusion.

"Service Credit" means a credit denominated in US dollars, calculated as set forth below, that we may credit back to an eligible account.

"Unavailable" and "Unavailability" mean, for app services and databases, when your service or database is not running or not reachable due to TomBot’s fault. This excludes (a) containers that are unreachable or not running because the container’s provisioned resources (RAM, CPU, disk, as applicable) are insufficient; and (b) members of a database cluster where the cluster as a whole is running and reachable.

"Region Unavailable" and "Region Unavailability" mean:

For Regions with only one AZ, when that AZ and one AZ in any other Region, in which you are running an instance or task (one or more containers), as applicable, are concurrently "Unavailable" to you.

For all other Regions, when more than one AZ within the same Region, in which you are running an instance or task (one or more containers), as applicable, are concurrently "Unavailable" to you.

Priority 1 ("P1")
– A P1 is a catastrophic production Incident within the Service that severely impacts the Customer's Site, causing the widget or application to cease from operating or accepting orders, or because of which Customer's Site is completely down or not functioning, or that results in a loss of production data and no work around exists.

Priority 2 ("P2")
– A P2 is a major Incident within the Service where the Customer's system is functioning but in a reduced capacity, or the Incident is causing significant impact to portions of the Customer's business operations and productivity, or the Software application is exposed to potential loss or interruption of service.

Priority 3 ("P3")
– A P3 is a medium-to-low impact Incident that affects certain partial and/or non-critical functions of a Customer’s Site, or that impairs some operations but allows Customer's operations to continue to function. Incidents for which there is limited or no loss or functionality or impact to Customer's operation and for which there is an easy workaround qualify as P3.

Priority 4 ("P4")
– A P4 is a general usage question or issue that may be minor or cosmetic in nature or documentation related, and may include issues Tombot deems to be Enhancement Requests, but the Service works without interruption. Tombot will use efforts during its normal hours of operation, to provide a reasonable resolution or work-around for any P4 problem.

3. Customer Responsibilities

Customer will (i) configure and use the Service correctly in accordance with the Documentation; (ii) maintain and update all Contact Information. TomBot’s ability to meet its obligations in this SLA are dependent upon Customer performing its responsibilities.

4. Support Hours and Availability

Tombot will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to Incidents as set forth below in the INCIDENT PRIORITIES AND INITIAL RESPONSE TIMES table:

Incident priorities and initial response times
Incident Priority Support Availability Initial Response Time After Confirmation
Priority 1 24 hours, 7 days a week Within 2 hours
Priority 2 Local business hours (8:30am to 5:00pm) Within 1 business day
Priority 3 Local business hours (8:30am to 5:00pm) Within 2 business days
Priority 4 Local business hours (8:30am to 5:00pm) Within 5 business days

5. Billable Volume

In the event that Tombot fails to automate the agreed upon "Billable Volume", Tombot will proactively reach out to you and rectify the situation by issuing Service Credits in accordance with the procedure outlined in Section 5 above.

6. Sole Remedy

Unless otherwise provided in the Terms, your sole and exclusive remedy for any unavailability, non-performance, or other failure by us to provide the Services is the receipt of a Service Credit (if eligible) in accordance with the terms of this SLA.

7. Credit Request and Payment Procedures

To receive a Service Credit, you must submit a claim by emailing support@tombot.ai. To be eligible, the credit request must be received by us by the end of the second billing cycle after which the incident occurred and must include:

If the Monthly Uptime Percentage of such request is confirmed by us and is less than the Tombot Obligations and Availability commitments, then we will issue the Service Credit to you within one billing cycle following the month in which your request is confirmed by us. Your failure to provide the request and other information as required above will disqualify you from receiving a Service Credit.

8. Exclusions

The Service Commitment does not apply to any of the following categorized unavailabilities:

  1. That results from a suspension or Remedial Action, as described in the Terms;
  2. Caused by factors outside of our reasonable control, including any force majeure event, Internet access, or problems beyond the demarcation point of the Tombot network;
  3. That results from any actions or inactions of you or any third party;
  4. That results from the equipment, software or other technology of you or any third party (other than third-party equipment within our direct control);
  5. That results from failures of TomBot Containerized Services not attributable to Unavailability; or
  6. That results from any Scheduled Maintenances.

If availability is impacted by factors other than those used in our Monthly Uptime Percentage calculation, then we may issue a Service Credit considering such factors at our discretion.
