The Customer is responsible for ensuring all Authorised Users are aware of and comply with the applicable jurisdictional restrictions for their region.
Schedule 2: Service Level Agreement
This Service Level Agreement applies solely to the Heidi Platform and software services.
- Service Levels. Heidi will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Heidi Platform operational and available to the Customer 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, with a monthly uptime commitment of at least 99.9% (the "Availability Commitment"), excluding scheduled maintenance, upgrades and third-party system interruptions. Heidi will provide reasonable advance notice for any scheduled maintenance or upgrades.
- Downtime. Customer acknowledges that from time-to-time the Heidi Platform may be inaccessible or inoperable for various reasons, including: (a) equipment malfunctions, (b) periodic maintenance procedures or repairs which Heidi may undertake from time-to-time, or (c) causes beyond the reasonable control of Heidi, including interruption or failure of telecommunication or digital transmission links, hostile network attacks, network congestion, or other failures (collectively, "Downtime"). Heidi shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimise any disruption, inaccessibility, and/or inoperability of the Heidi Platform in connection with Downtime, whether scheduled or not.
- Service Level Exclusions. This Service Level Agreement and the Availability Commitment do not apply to any performance or availability issues: (a) outside of Heidi's reasonable control, (b) that result from Customer's or a third party's hardware or software, (c) the result from actions or inactions of Customer or a third party, (d) that occur during any beta or trial services.
- Service Credits. If Heidi fails to meet the Availability Commitment in a given calendar month, the Customer may be eligible for a service credit in the form of a discount of up to twenty percent (20%) of the monthly/quarterly fees for the affected month. Service credits are the sole and exclusive remedy for any failure by Heidi to meet the Availability Commitment.
- Support Services. Except agreed in writing otherwise, Heidi provides support via email, service desk system and other relevant methods where applicable during Heidi's normal business hours on Monday–Friday from 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM AEST Time. To request support services, Customer's designated administrator or applicable User shall contact Heidi at the following email address: support@heidihealth.com
- Support Matrix. Service support shall only include assistance with issues which are exclusively due to an error with Heidi's services (i.e., a failure of the service to conform to the performance specifications provided by Heidi). Any support outside the scope of service support shall be provided by Heidi on a time and materials basis. Response times depend on the type of issues and Heidi will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to a support service request within the following timelines:
| Level 1 Critical event (the Heidi Platform is completely unavailable, or performance is so poor as to render the Heidi Platform unusable) | Less than 2 hours |
| Level 2 Significant impact (a major functionality of the Heidi Platform is unusable and results in limited functionality that affects many Customer Users) | Less than 4 hours |
| Level 3 Moderate impact (a loss of a function or resource of the Heidi Platform that does not seriously affect the functionality of the Heidi Platform) | Less than 12 hours |
| Level 4 Minimal impact (Customer requests information, an enhancement, or documentation clarification regarding the Heidi Platform or there is minimal impact to the operation of the Heidi Platform. Customer’s production use of the Heidi Platform is not being impeded) | Less than 24 hours |
7. Service Modifications. Heidi may modify or supplement this Service Level Agreement consistent with how Heidi treats its other Customer and will endeavour to provide Customer notice of such modifications. If, in good faith, Customer has reasonable concerns of such modification, to the extent the modification is a material change and degrades Customer's rights under this Service Level Agreement, Customer may reject such modification, and this Service Level Agreement shall remain unchanged.
