Where: o total means the total number of minutes in the calendar month; o non excluded means downtime that is not excluded; and o excluded means:
- Any planned downtime (not to exceed 36 hours in any calendar month) of which Lusha gives 24 or more hours’ notice in accordance with the Agreement or via a conspicuous on-screen message in the Solution. Lusha will use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule all planned downtime during the hours from 6:00 p.m. Friday to 3:00 a.m. Monday, U.S. Pacific Time.
- Any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond Lusha’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, epidemic, strikes or other labor problems (other than those involving Lusha employees), or third-party Internet service provider failures or delays (other than those Internet service providers under contract with Lusha).
- Remedies.
If Lusha fails to meet the Service availability in any given month, Lusha will issue Customer a voucher against the immediate subsequent billing period’s total bill:Service Availability % Voucher Over 98 but below 99 4% from the monthly bill Over 97 but below 98 8% from the monthly bill below 97 15% from the monthly bill - Reporting, Claims and Notices.
Lusha will provide Customer quarterly SLA reports showing Service availability for each calendar month during the prior calendar quarter, within 10 business days following the end of such calendar quarter. To claim a remedy under this SLA, Customer shall send Lusha a notice, via email addressed to Support@Lusha.com within 20 business days after the end of each calendar quarter. Claims may be made on a calendar-quarter basis only and must be submitted within 20 business days after the end of the applicable quarter, except where a Service subscription ends on a date other than the last day of a calendar quarter, in which case any claim related to that subscription must be submitted within 20 business days after the subscription end-date.
All claims will be verified against Lusha’s system records. Should Lusha dispute any period of unavailability alleged by Customer, Lusha will provide to Customer a record of Service availability for the applicable period. Lusha will provide such records only in response to claims made by Customer in good faith. The vouchers are the sole remedy for any non-conformance with Service availability.
