13.4        Except for the express warranties set out in Clauses 13.1 and 13.2, the Prove Anything  Materials are provided “as is” and we hereby disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or other, and we specifically disclaim all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, satisfactory quality, title, and non-infringement, and all warranties arising from course of dealing, usage, or trade practice. We make no warranty of any kind that the Prove Anything Materials, or any products or results or the use of them, will meet your or any other person’s requirements, operate without interruption, achieve any intended result, be compatible or work with any software, system, or other services, or be secure, accurate, complete, free of harmful code or viruses, or error free.

 

14.          Indemnification.

 

14.1         Subject to Clause 14.3, we shall indemnify and defend you from and against all claims, actions, proceedings, losses, damages, expenses and costs (including court costs and reasonable legal fees) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or in connection with any third party claim that any of the Prove Anything Materials, as provided by us to you, infringe the Intellectual Property Rights of that third party (each, an “IP Claim”).

14.2        You shall indemnify and defend our Affiliates, and their officers, directors, shareholders, employees, contractors, licensors, attorneys, and agents (the “Prove Anything  Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses arising out of or in connection with a claim by a third party arising out of or in connection with: (i) your, your Users’ or your End Users’ access to or use of any Prove Anything Materials not in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) Prove Anything’s use of any Customer Data in accordance with this Agreement; or (iii) any IP Claim to the extent it is a Customer IP Claim (as defined below).

14.3        Prove Anything will have no obligation to indemnify or defend you for any IP Claim to the extent arising out of or in connection with: (i) your use of the Prove Anything Materials in combination with other materials, software, Intellectual Property Rights, services, technology or processes not provided or approved by us, where there would be no basis for such IP Claim but for the combination; (ii) a modification, improvement, or enhancement of, or creation of any derivative work based on, the Prove Anything Service by anyone other than us; (iii) your breach of this Agreement or use of the Prove Anything Materials other than as expressly permitted under this Agreement; (iv) Services performed in accordance with specifications or requirements mandated by you; or (v) your failure to implement a Work-Around (as defined in Appendix A (Service Level Agreement), release, update, or other modification to or for the Prove Anything Materials as provided or directed by us (the IP Claims described in (i)-(v) being the “Customer IP Claims”).

14.4        In the defence, settlement or avoidance of any IP Claim, and in addition to but not in lieu of any other obligation set out in this Clause 14, we may, at our option and (subject to your obligations under Clause 14.2) expense: (i) replace or modify any allegedly infringing Prove Anything Materials with non-infringing items and/or services that are reasonably comparable to the Prove Anything Materials being replaced; and/or (ii) obtain a licence for you to continue using and receiving any of the allegedly infringing Prove Anything Materials.

14.5        If we determine in our good faith business judgement the remedies set out in Clauses 14.4 (i) and (ii) are not available on commercially reasonable terms we shall notify you and either Party may immediately terminate the applicable Subscription, Order Form or this Agreement. Upon the receipt of such notice, you shall stop using and return to us all allegedly infringing Prove Anything Materials. We may stop performing all allegedly infringing Services and, in such circumstances, shall refund any monies paid by you for the infringing components of the Prove Anything Materials less a reasonable allowance for the period of time you used or received such components.

14.6        Each Party seeking indemnification under this Agreement (each an “Indemnified Party”) will give prompt notice to the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) of any demand for indemnification that is based on a claim asserted by any Person other than the Indemnitor (a “Claim”), as well as copies of any papers served on the Indemnified Party relating to that Claim, but the Indemnified Party’s failure to provide or delay in providing that notice or those copies will not release the Indemnitor from its obligations under this Clause 14, except to the extent the failure or delay materially prejudices the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor has the exclusive right to conduct the defence of any Claim and any negotiations for its settlement, except that: (i) the Indemnitor may not bind any Prove Anything Indemnified Party or Customer (as applicable), to any agreement, or otherwise prejudice or impair the rights of any Prove Anything Indemnified Party or Customer (as applicable), without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which the Indemnified Party may not unreasonably withhold or delay; (ii) the Indemnified Party will assist the Indemnitor in its defence of any Claim, at the Indemnitor’s request and expense; (iii) the Indemnified Party may participate at its expense in Indemnitor’s defence of or settlement negotiations for any Claim with counsel of the Indemnified Party’s own selection; and (iv) the Indemnified Party may, at its option and the Indemnitor’s expense, and on notice to the Indemnitor, conduct the defence of and any settlement negotiations for any Claim in place of the Indemnitor if the Indemnitor fails to promptly defend the Claim as required in this Clause 14. At the Indemnified Party’s request and the Indemnitor’s expense, and in addition to the Indemnitor’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Indemnitor shall assist the Indemnified Party with the defence of any Claim for which the Indemnified Party conducts the defence under this Clause 14.6.

14.7        You acknowledge that this Clause 14 states Prove Anything entire responsibility and liability and your sole and exclusive remedy for any actual or alleged infringement of third-party Intellectual Property Rights in connection with this Agreement.

 

15.          Force Majeure and Internet Delays.

 

15.1         If either Party is prevented from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement by Force Majeure, that Party shall as soon as reasonably possible serve notice in writing on the other Party specifying the nature and extent of the circumstances giving rise to Force Majeure. The Party so prevented shall, subject to service of such notice, have no liability in respect of any delay in performance or any non-performance of any such obligation save for any payment obligation which shall continue in full force and effect.

15.2        If either Party is prevented from performance of all or substantially all of its obligations under this Agreement by Force Majeure for a continuous period of more than sixty (60) days in total, the other Party may terminate this Agreement immediately on service of written notice upon the Party so prevented, in which case neither Party shall have any liability to the other except that rights and liabilities which accrued prior to such termination shall continue to subsist and, for the avoidance of doubt, in such circumstances the provisions of Clause 12 relating to the consequences of termination shall apply.

15.3        We are not and will not be responsible or liable for any delay or failure of performance caused in whole or in part by your delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of your obligations under this Agreement.

15.4        You are solely responsible for providing and maintaining your internet connection and information technology environment, networks, and systems. Use of the Prove Anything Service may be subject to limitations, delays, and other problems beyond our control, including those inherent in use of the internet.

    16.2         Subject to Clause 16.1, neither Party shall be liable (in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise): (i) for any loss arising from or in connection with loss of revenues, profits (whether direct or indirect), contracts or business, or failure to realise anticipated savings, loss of use or other economic advantage arising from your use of the Prove Anything Service, including the inability to use the Prove Anything Service; loss or corruption of data; unauthorised access to data; or (ii) for any indirect, special, incidental, exemplary, enhanced, punitive, or consequential losses or damages, suffered or incurred by the other party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement even if such Party knew of, had been advised of the possibility of, or foreseen such damages in advance.

    16.3         Subject to Clause 16.1 and except as set out in the remainder of this clause 16.3, neither Party’s aggregate liability in connection with any Order Form will exceed 125% of the amount actually paid by you under that Order Form in the 12-month period preceding the event giving rise to such liability, regardless of whether such liability is based in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise. With respect to a Party’s breach of its obligations set out in Clause 17 (Confidentiality) or Appendix B(1) (Data Protection) or Appendix B(2) (Data Processing Activities), neither Party’s aggregate liability will exceed the lesser of £1,000,000 (one million pounds sterling) and five times the amount actually paid by you under the applicable Order Form in the 12-month period preceding the event giving rise to such liability.

     

    17.           Confidentiality.

     

    17.1          The Receiving Party will use at least the same degree of care in protecting Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that the Receiving Party uses to protect the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care. The Receiving Party shall: (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose other than as permitted under this Agreement; and (ii) limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to its, and its Affiliates’, employees and contractors who need such access to perform their duties to the Disclosing Party and who owe a duty of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party and shall ensure that it includes equivalent contractual terms on confidentiality with such third party. Your Confidential Information includes your Customer Data. Prove Anything Confidential Information includes the Prove Anything Materials, any Order Form, Statement of Work, and the terms of this Agreement.

    17.2         The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by Applicable law to do so, on condition that the Receiving Party uses commercially reasonable efforts to give the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, in order to permit the Disclosing Party to contest or limit the disclosure.

    17.3         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Prove Anything may: (i) monitor use of the Prove Anything Service to (a) determine your compliance with the terms of this Agreement and (b) provide support and other requested Services; (ii) utilise any Customer Data on an anonymous and aggregated basis in connection with our development of any products, strategies, or services; (iii) anonymise any Customer Data or other information and aggregate it with other information and data for any further use or purpose related to and Prove Anything’s  business; and (iv) use any information gathered by Prove Anything  in connection with providing the Services as is necessary to comply with Applicable Laws or in the course of any litigation.

     

    18.           Notice.

    18.4         Notice to Prove Anything will be addressed to: Prove Anything Limited, 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, England, WC2H 9JQ for the attention of: the Managing Director. Notice to you will be addressed to your address set out in an Order Form.

     

    19.           Assignment; Change in Control.

     

    19.1          Neither Party may assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer this Agreement, or any rights, remedies, or obligations under this Agreement, (including by forward or reverse merger, consolidation, dissolution, or operation of law, and whether voluntarily or by a governmental authority’s action or order) without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that either Party may assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any rights, remedies, or obligations under this Agreement without the other Party’s consent to: (i) an Affiliate; or (ii) an acquirer of all or substantially all of the equity interests, assets, or business to which this Agreement relates of the assigning Party (including by a merger, consolidation, or operation of law). Any purported assignment, delegation, or other transfer in violation of this Clause 19.1 is void. You acknowledge that your assignment, delegation, or other transfer of this Agreement will not relieve you of your obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement binds and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted assignees and successors.

    19.2             You shall notify us in writing, where practicable in advance of, but in any event as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of, any actual or proposed change in control of you. Where such change of control results or would result in a direct competitor of Prove Anything directly or indirectly owning or controlling 50% or more of you, we will be entitled to terminate this Agreement for cause immediately upon written notice to you.

     

    20.               General.

     

    20.1              Interpretation. The descriptive headings in this Agreement are used solely for convenience and are not intended to affect its meaning or interpretation. Unless the context otherwise requires, words in the singular include the plural and vice versa and words in one gender include any other gender. A reference to a statute or statutory provision includes any legislation effected under it and any statute or statutory provision which modifies, consolidates, re-enacts, or supersedes it, whether such statute or statutory provision comes into force before or after the date of this Agreement. A reference to any Party includes its successors in title and permitted assigns, and a Party, Clause, paragraph, schedule, and appendix is a party to, a Clause, schedule or an appendix to this Agreement and a paragraph of an appendix. The words “includes” or “including” are not limiting and are to be read as if they were followed by the phrase “without limitation.” “Sole discretion” means, with respect to any determination to be made under this Agreement by a Party, the sole and absolute discretion of that Party, without regard to any standard of reasonableness or other standard by which the determination of that Party might be challenged. “Reasonable efforts” or “commercially reasonable efforts” means, with respect to a given obligation, the efforts a reasonable and prudent person wishing to achieve a result would use in similar circumstances to perform that obligation as promptly as possible consistent with its normal business practices and good-faith business judgement, including the incurrence of reasonable immaterial expenditures or liabilities. If any date specified in this Agreement as the only day, or the last day, for taking action falls on a day that is not a business day, then that action may be taken on the next business day. Unless stated otherwise, all references to a date or time of day in this Agreement are references to that date or time of day of the location of Prove Anything set out on page 1. An obligation on a Party not to do something includes an obligation not to attempt to do that thing nor to allow that thing to be done.

    20.2             Precedence. Subject always to Appendix B(1) Data Protection and Appendix B(2) Data Processing Activities, if there is any conflict or inconsistency between an Order Form, any Clause or paragraph of this Agreement, any schedule or appendix to this Agreement, and any Documentation, the Clause or paragraph of this Agreement will prevail, followed by a schedule to this Agreement, followed by an appendix to this Agreement, followed by an Order Form, followed by the Documentation.

    20.3             Subcontracting. Prove Anything shall be entitled to subcontract any of its obligations under this Agreement to a third party, provided Prove Anything will remain primarily liable to you under this Agreement and shall have substantially equivalent terms in place with such subcontractors as imposed on Prove Anything under this Agreement.

    20.4             Severability. If a court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision(s) will be construed either by modifying it to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable (if permitted by law) or disregarding it (if not).  If an unenforceable provision is modified or disregarded in accordance with this Clause 20.4, all other provisions of this Agreement are to remain in effect as written, except that this entire Agreement will be unenforceable if modifying or disregarding the unenforceable provision affects the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner materially adverse to either Party.

    20.5             No Partnership. Both Parties are independent contractors under this Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, agency, joint venture, or partnership relationship between the Parties or any of their personnel, or any other legal arrangement that would impose liability upon one Party for the act or failure to act of the other Party. Neither Party shall have any express or implied power to enter into any contracts or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name of, or on behalf of, the other Party, or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.

    20.6             Identification.  We may identify you as our customer and you may identify us as your supplier and the type of service we provide to you, provided that in doing so no Confidential Information of the other is disclosed. Neither Party shall make any announcement of any kind in respect of the Confidential Information (Terms and Financials) of this Agreement except with the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or as is required by law.

    20.7             No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement does not give rise to any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Agreement. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

    20.8            Waiver. The failure of a Party to enforce any right or provision in this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision by that Party unless acknowledged and agreed to by that Party in writing.

    20.9            Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all Order Forms to this Agreement and the Documentation) constitutes the whole agreement between the Parties and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous discussions, correspondence, negotiations, arrangements, understandings, and agreements between the Parties with respect to its subject matter.

    20.10           Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which taken together shall form one legal instrument.

    20.11            Amendments. Except in relation to the appendices and the Documentation which Prove Anything may modify in its reasonable discretion from time to time, no purported variation of this Agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing (which excludes email) and signed by or on behalf of each Party.

    20.12           Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales.

    20.13           Jurisdiction. Where the Customer is domiciled in the United Kingdom or the European Union, each Party irrevocably agrees that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter or formation.  Where the Customer is not domiciled in the United Kingdom or the European Union, and Prove Anything is the defendant, each Party irrevocably agrees that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle and dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter or formation.  Where the Customer is not domiciled in the United Kingdom or European Union and the Customer is the defendant, any dispute which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter or formation shall be exclusively referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the LCIA Rules, which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Clause. The number of arbitrators shall be one. The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be London, England. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be England.

    API” means the Application Programming Interface used to communicate with the Prove Anything platform and programmatically interact with the data and prove anything activities provided.

    Downtime” exists when a Customer is unable to transmit and/or receive data from the Prove Anything Service. Downtime does not include the effects of any internet, Customer network or other connectivity issues not within Prove Anything control, or the effects of any configuration changes implemented by Customer, or any unavailability due to your breach of this Agreement. Downtime is measured from (a) the time the Prove Anything monitoring system indicates that the Prove Anything Service is not functioning as defined herein until (b) restoration of the Prove Anything Service.

    Emergency Maintenance” is maintenance which may delay or interrupt Customer’s use of the Prove Anything Service and that is critical and cannot be delayed.

    Error” means any defect, bug, or error in the Prove Anything Service that prevents: (a) the Prove Anything Service from operating in accordance with the relevant Documentation; (b) access to the Customer Data; or (c) the Prove Anything Service from being provided in accordance with this Service Level Agreement. Errors do not include features or functionality that may be expected by Customer, but which are not currently included in the Prove Anything Service and/or APIs.

    Multi-Tenant Environment” means a server, or collection of servers and network devices, either physical or virtual, which are used for the delivery of the Prove Anything Service and are shared between multiple customers.

    Penetration Test” means an authorised simulated attack on the Prove Anything Service intended to discover security weaknesses or other vulnerabilities that could be exploited by a nefarious actor.

    Priority Level” means the priority that Prove Anything gives to correcting a particular Error, where P1 is the highest priority of Error and P4 is the lowest.

    Response Time” means the amount of time taken for Prove Anything to contact the Customer after an Error has occurred. Before the Customer is contacted, Prove Anything will evaluate the Error, determine the Priority Level, and determine a course of action for the remediation of the Error. Response Time is measured from (a) the time when the relevant Ticket is raised until (b) the time that Prove Anything contacts the Customer.

    Scheduled Maintenance” is maintenance which may delay or interrupt Customer’s use of the Prove Anything Service and is conducted between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 5:00am (GMT) and any other maintenance for which Prove Anything gives you no less than 72 hours’ notice.

    Work-Around” means a temporary work-around, patch or bypass supplied by Prove Anything in order to temporarily correct an Error.

    • Capitalised words and expressions in this SLA shall have the meaning given to them in the Agreement unless otherwise specified.

    Prove Anything shall ensure that the Prove Anything Service will be available, excluding Downtime caused by Scheduled Maintenance, Emergency Maintenance or Force Majeure event, 99.5% of the time in any one calendar month (first day to last day) (the “Service Level”). The Service Level will not apply (and therefore no Service Credits will be applicable) to the extent that any Service Level Failure is caused by: (a) a Penetration Test conducted by Customer without the prior written approval of Prove Anything ; or (b) Customer’s failure to comply with specific instructions provided by Prove Anything ; or (c) a failure of the Customer to comply with any Customer responsibility or obligation detailed in a Statement of Work, Order Form or the Master Subscription Agreement; or (d) Customer’s failure to adhere to Prove Anything ’s best practice guidelines for the use of the API.

    1. Prove Anything Service Releases and Versions.

To maintain efficient development methods and support processes Prove Anything may, at its sole discretion, elect not to:

    (a)                                                                                         Provide support or correct Errors in Versions of the Prove Anything Service that are more than one (1) year old.

    (b)                                                                                         Re-create features from the current Version of the Prove Anything Service in older Versions.

    Priority Level Time Description
    All levels

    Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays in the UK)

    9:00am to 5:00pm (GMT)

    Email support will be provided by Prove Anything Customer Support Helpdesk, for all Priority Levels.

     

    1. Error Priority Levels.

    Prove Anything will resolve all Errors reported by customers according to the Priority Level set out in the table below. Priority Levels will be determined by Prove Anything in its sole discretion and will be based upon the information provided at the time the Ticket is raised. If Customer is not satisfied with Prove Anything classification of the Priority Level, then Customer should discuss the matter with the Prove Anything Head of Customer Support.

     

    Priority Level Business Impact
    P1

    Whole or critical part of the Prove Anything Service is unusable, causing a major business impact.

     

    For example:

    ●     Complete server outage

    ●     An essential component is not available. E.g., the customer-facing wb app are not loading and therefore the customer’s customers are not able to access essential information

    ●     An essential component is completely unusable, and the issue is not caused by network problems within the customer’s location.

    ●     The issue seriously impacts the customer’s customers or serious complaints are raised.

    ●     The API responds (or fails to) in a manner that renders the Prove Anything Service unusable

    P2

    Important, but not immediately critical part of the Prove Anything Service is unusable, causing some business impact.

     

    For example:

    ●     A small number of locations are affected within the whole customer’s network.

    ●     The customer is unable to view standard reports via the back-end user-interface.

    ●     A Work-Around is present where an issue would otherwise be P1.

    ●     The API responds in a way that prohibits Scheduled Maintenance tasks, such as data upload

    P3

    Small, but not critical part of the Prove Anything Service is unusable or has limited functionality, causing some business impact.

     

    For example:

    ●     Filters within a widget are not responding as expected.

    ●     A Work-Around is present where an issue would otherwise be P2.

    ●     The API intermittently fails to respond as expected

    P4

    Small other items, which may include non-urgent Errors, Errors where acceptable Workarounds are available, causing little business impact.

     

    For example:

    ●     The customer is unable to view bespoke or third-party reports (e.g., from an integrated technology or reports created and sent specifically from Prove Anything to the customer)

    ●     A service request – i.e., a user request for information or advice or a standard change (a pre-approved change that is low risk, relatively common and follows a procedure)

    ●     Single user or customer fault. For example, password resets

     

     

    1. Error reporting and Resolution procedures.

    The procedures for reporting and resolving an Error are as follows:
    (a)     For all Errors, customers should log the Error using the Prove Anything online support portal.

    (b)     Once the Error has been reported by Customer, Prove Anything will:

    (i)         Determine the Priority Level and confirm this to the Customer.

    (ii)       Respond within the agreed Response Time.

    (iii)      Open a support Ticket (if this has not already been done per the steps above). All Tickets will be opened using the Prove Anything online support portal, which is actively monitored by qualified Prove Anything support personnel. The status for all Tickets previously reported by any customer can be viewed by Prove Anything support personnel via the support portal.

    (iv)      Provide an estimate of the Target Resolution Time.

    (v)       Assign resources to correct such Error within the relevant Target Resolution Time. Prove Anything will use all commercially reasonable efforts to correct the Error in an expeditious manner and will inform Customer of the progress, including the steps being taken to resolve the Error, the expected time for resolution of the Error and any resolution of the Error.

    (vi)      Provide updates as per the agreed Update Schedule. Prove Anything will endeavour to resolve all Errors in the first response. If this is not possible, we will provide ongoing status updates and information about when we expect any Errors to be resolved. Additional information exchanges related to an open support case may be conducted via email, telephone, or web meeting communication, as appropriate to the case. Customers can check the status of their Ticket at any time using the Prove Anything online support portal.

    (c)                 While we endeavour to resolve any Errors within the Target Resolution Time, our attainment of the target will be related to the amount of development work that is required to rectify the Error. Equally, we try to, and are often able to resolve problems far quicker than the target times if the work required allows:

    (i)         If an Error has not been corrected within the Target Resolution Time, we will discuss the situation with the Customer and mutually agree on a resolution which may include a Work-Around.

    (ii)       If Prove Anything cannot correct a P1 or P2 Error within 6 months, then Customer may immediately terminate the relevant Subscription, Order Form and/or this Agreement.

    (d)                All Errors are categorised in accordance with the Priority Levels defined in this Appendix. Any support requests not categorised as set forth herein will be addressed in the ordinary course of business by Prove Anything, and any applicable modifications or corrections of the Prove Anything Service will be delivered in the next release of the Prove Anything Service after implementation of the correction(s).

    (e)                These procedures only apply to live Customers. Errors that are discovered during a Customer’s implementation phase will be handled by the implementation team according to the procedures defined during that phase.

    (f)                  Errors that are discovered during the implementation process and present when a Customer goes live will be handled according to any previously agreed arrangements and not according to the procedures outlined in this Appendix.

    (g)                 Errors that are caused by Customer’s suppliers (e.g., implementations performed by Customer’s systems integrator or configuration of the Prove Anything Service by Customer’s professional services partner) may not be able to be corrected by Prove Anything and must be corrected by the relevant supplier.

     

    1. Target Response Time, Update Schedule, and Resolution Time.

    The Target Response Times, Target Update Schedule and Target Resolution Times described above are as follows:

    Priority Level Target Response Time Target Update Schedule Target Resolution Time
    P1 8 support hours 1 business day Basic Fix 1 business Day, code change 10 business days
    P2 1 business day 2 business days To be agreed between the Customer and Prove Anything on a case-by-case basis
    P3 1 business day Upon request To be agreed between the Customer and Prove Anything on a case-by-case basis
    P4  2 business days Upon request To be agreed between the Customer and Prove Anything on a case-by-case basis

     

    1. Monitoring of the Service.

    Prove Anything will regularly monitor the status of the Prove Anything Service (including routine checks on the hardware, processes and wait queues) using both automated and manual tools and testing procedures.

    Upon request by Customer, but no more than once every 6 months, Prove Anything will provide a report listing all Customer-affecting service and outage faults during the prior 6 months, including:

    • Date and time of fault
    • Impact of fault on service provision
    • Service outage duration
    • Description of Error and resolution identifying steps taken to prevent future occurrences
    • Scheduled releases
      1. Service Credits.

    If, as recorded at the end of a calendar month, the Prove Anything Service fails to achieve the Service Level, the Customer is eligible to receive a Service Credit as detailed in the table below.  The Service Credit percentage will be calculated in relation to the Fees payable in the month in which the Service Level Failure occurred:

     

    Uptime in a calendar month Service Credit
    Less than 99.5% but greater than or equal to 99.0% 5%
    Less than 99.0% but greater than or equal to 95% 15%
    Less than 95% but greater than or equal to 90% 50%
    Less than 90% 100%

    Prove Anything will deduct any Service Credits due at the end of a calendar month from the Fees due to Prove Anything that month or, where Fees have been paid in advance, refund the Service Credit amount within 30 days of the end of the relevant calendar month. Should a Service Credit be earned in the final month of the Prove Anything Service being provided, we will deduct the Service Credit against outstanding amounts due to us under this Agreement, and if no amounts are due, we will refund the Service Credit amount to the Customer within 30 days of the Prove Anything Service having terminated.

    The Parties acknowledge that the Service Credits represent a genuine pre-estimate of some of the losses that the Customer would suffer in the event of a Service Level Failure.

    Worked Example:

    February Uptime: 99.4%

    February Fees: £1,000

    Service Credit: £50

    March Fees: £1,000 less £50 Service Credit = £950

    Our Customers are the controllers of the end user personal information held on the Prove Anything platform, as personal data will need to be stored to create the Prove Anything Service.
