Schedule A: Service Level Agreement (SLA)

(a) Scope

This SLA applies to the Services provided under the Order Form and differentiates between Cloud Licenses and Self-Hosted Licenses.

(b) Uptime and Availability

  • Cloud Licenses: HYVOR commits to 99.9% monthly uptime, excluding scheduled maintenance. Uptime is measured over the calendar month. If availability falls below this threshold, service credits may apply. HYVOR may perform scheduled maintenance during off-peak hours with at least 48 hours' notice.
  • Self-Hosted Licenses: HYVOR does not guarantee uptime for customer-hosted deployments. Customers are responsible for maintaining their own infrastructure. HYVOR may provide guidance or optional support plans for self-hosted deployments, but no uptime commitments apply.

(c) Support Response Times

  • Critical issues: response within 1 hour
  • Major issues: response within 4 hours
  • Minor issues: response within 1 business day
  • Support is available via email and our dedicated Enterprise Slack channel during business hours (9 AM - 6 PM CET, Monday to Friday), excluding public holidays.

(d) Remedies

For Cloud Licenses, if monthly uptime falls below 99.9%, the Customer may be eligible for a service credit equal to 5% of the monthly fee for each full 0.1% below the target, up to a maximum of 50% of the monthly fee. Credits must be claimed within 30 days of the month's end. Credits will be applied as a discount on future invoices.

(e) Exclusions

The SLA does not apply to any performance issues caused by factors outside HYVOR's reasonable control, including but not limited to Customer's equipment, third-party services, or force majeure events.
