7. SERVICE LEVELS
1. Commitments based on availability rate
Within the scope defined above, NFINITE commits to a service availability rate of 95.9% per year from the Start Date. "Availability" is thus defined between the Parties, as the ability to access the Services without them being affected by a Major Incident (as defined below). It is specified that this availability rate is observed twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week (24/7). Notwithstanding the foregoing, NFINITE will use its best efforts to schedule maintenance of the Services outside of Business Hours. Thus, the availability and performance of the Services may be disrupted outside of Business Hours, by backup tasks or automatic processing. Interruptions during the Service Availability range for which the Customer has been notified 1 day in advance are excluded from Availability.
2. Incident Types
For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, the term "Incident" means any unplanned interruption or decrease in the quality of the Services. Incidents are distinguished according to two priority levels, described below:
3. Incident Notification
In the event of an Incident, the Customer undertakes to notify NFINITE of the occurrence of the Incident, as soon as it is known.This notification will be made to NFINITE by sending an e-mail to the following e-mail address: support@nfinite.app.
4. Incident Handling
Upon receipt of the Customer's incident notification, NFINITE will acknowledge receipt to the Customer of the opening of the corresponding incident ticket. In the event of a technical incident notified by the Customer, NFINITE will acknowledge receipt by e-mail within the following deadlines:
The following are excluded from the calculation of deadlines:
- The unavailability or lack of response from the Customer concerning requests whose processing requires his participation.
- Non-compliance with the procedures by the Customer (e.g. incomplete notification, non-compliance with the notification procedure).
5. Recovery time
The following are excluded from the calculation of deadlines:
- The durations attributable to the non-compliance of the Customer's technical infrastructures with the constraints of resolution of the incidents imposed (e.g. unsuitable maintenance contract).
- A software or infrastructure defect of the Customer's responsibility, such as non-compliance with the technical prerequisites.
6. Penalties for non-compliance with Service Level Commitments
In the event of non-compliance with the commitments to process and/or resolve Incidents within the deadlines provided for in (4) and (5) of this Article, the amount of service credits payable will be calculated as follows:
- For a Major Incident: 2% Total Price of the Order per hour of delay on the commitment to process and/or resolve the Incident.
- For a Minor Incident: 2.5% of the Total Price of the Order in relation to 5 hours of delay on the commitment to process and / or resolve the Incident, applicable from the 10th Minor Incident on the Duration initially planned.
In the event of non-compliance with the commitments on the availability rate of the Service as defined in (1) of this Article, the Customer may claim service credits, provided that this non-compliance results from a fact directly and solely attributable to NFINITE.
The application of service credits can only take place to the extent that the Customer complies with the procedure for requesting service credits, namely the sending by email to support@nfinite.app of a request for service credits, maximum six (6) months after the Incident causing the service credits. NFINITE cannot guarantee that the Customer's claim will be up to date in the event of non-compliance with these terms.
The amount of the service credits is calculated as follows:
The total amount of the service credits may in any event not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the amount excluding tax invoiced by NFINITE for the provision of services covered by this contract.
By express agreement, the sums due in respect of service credits for non-compliance with service quality commitments constitute for the Customer a lump sum compensation covering the damage suffered and exclude any claim for damages for the same reason.
Failure to comply with a Service Level commitment guaranteed by NFINITE does not relieve the Customer of its obligation to pay the Total Price of the Order to NFINITE. Any penalty may only be claimed by the Customer within 6 (six) months of the Incident giving entitlement to the claim for compensation. Penalties in the event of non-compliance with Service level commitments will be the subject of a valid credit note on invoices due.
NFINITE will apply the service credits annually and will establish the corresponding credit without delay.
