Service Level Agreement

Last updated: April 2026

Introduction

This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") is entered into by and between OceanAtlasXII ("Provider") and the subscribing entity ("Customer") as part of the subscription agreement for the OceanAtlasXII platform. This SLA defines the level of service the Customer can expect, including uptime guarantees, support response times, and remedies for service disruptions.

1. Uptime Commitment

The Provider commits to maintaining a monthly uptime percentage of 99.5% for the OceanAtlasXII platform, measured as the total number of minutes in a calendar month minus downtime, divided by the total number of minutes in that calendar month.

"Downtime" is defined as any period of five or more consecutive minutes during which the platform is unavailable or materially degraded for the Customer, as measured by the Provider's monitoring systems. Scheduled maintenance windows are excluded from downtime calculations.

2. Scheduled Maintenance

The Provider may perform scheduled maintenance to update, patch, or improve the platform. Scheduled maintenance will be conducted under the following conditions:

  • Advance Notice: The Provider will notify the Customer via email at least 48 hours before any scheduled maintenance window.
  • Timing: Scheduled maintenance will be performed outside of peak business hours, typically between 12:00 AM and 6:00 AM Eastern Time on weekends, unless an urgent security patch is required.
  • Duration: The Provider will make reasonable efforts to minimize maintenance duration and impact on service availability.
  • Emergency Maintenance: In the event of a critical security vulnerability or urgent issue, the Provider may perform emergency maintenance with as much advance notice as reasonably practicable.

3. Service Credits

If the Provider fails to meet the 99.5% monthly uptime commitment, the Customer is eligible for service credits according to the following schedule:

Monthly UptimeService Credit
99.4% – 99.5%5% of monthly fee
99.3% – 99.4%10% of monthly fee
99.2% – 99.3%15% of monthly fee
99.1% – 99.2%20% of monthly fee
99.0% – 99.1%25% of monthly fee
Below 99.0%30% of monthly fee (maximum)

Service credits are calculated as 5% credit for each 0.1% below 99.5%, up to a maximum of 30% of the monthly subscription fee.

To receive a service credit, the Customer must submit a claim in writing within 30 days of the end of the calendar month in which the uptime shortfall occurred. Service credits are applied to future invoices and are not redeemable for cash. Service credits are the Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for any failure by the Provider to meet the uptime commitment.

4. Exclusions

The uptime commitment and service credits do not apply to service disruptions caused by:

  • Force Majeure: Events beyond the reasonable control of the Provider, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, pandemics, government actions, labor disputes, or widespread internet outages.
  • Customer Equipment or Software: Failures or performance issues caused by the Customer's hardware, software, network connectivity, or internet service provider.
  • Third-Party Services: Downtime or disruptions caused by third-party services, APIs, or integrations that are not directly controlled by the Provider (e.g., email delivery providers, payment processors, AI service providers).
  • Customer Actions: Service disruptions resulting from the Customer's misuse of the platform, unauthorized modifications, or failure to follow recommended configurations.
  • Scheduled Maintenance: Pre-announced maintenance windows as described in Section 2.
  • Beta Features: Any features or services designated as beta, preview, or experimental.

5. Uptime Reporting

The Customer may request a monthly uptime report by contacting the Provider at the support email address below. The report will include the total uptime percentage for the requested calendar month, any downtime incidents, and their duration and cause. The Provider's internal monitoring data shall be the authoritative source for uptime calculations.

6. Support Response Times

The Provider offers tiered support response times based on the severity of the issue:

SeverityDescriptionResponse Time
CriticalService is completely down or a security breach is in progress. No workaround is available.1 hour
HighA major feature is broken or severely degraded. Business operations are significantly impacted.4 hours
MediumA minor feature issue or non-critical bug. A workaround may be available.1 business day
LowGeneral question, feature request, or cosmetic issue with no impact on operations.2 business days

Response times are measured from the time the Provider acknowledges receipt of the support request. "Business days" are defined as Monday through Friday, excluding US federal holidays, during the hours of 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern Time. Critical and High severity issues are monitored and responded to 24/7.

7. SLA Claims

To submit an SLA claim for service credits, the Customer must:

  • Submit the claim in writing via email to the support address below within 30 days of the end of the affected calendar month.
  • Include the dates and times of the claimed downtime incidents.
  • Provide a description of the impact on the Customer's use of the Services.

The Provider will review the claim and respond within 10 business days. If the claim is approved, the service credit will be applied to the Customer's next monthly invoice.
