Inclusions
In addition to this, Company will provide with:

Exclusions
SLA shall not cover the following clauses:
- Planned downtimes in non-business hours shall not be covered under this SLA. Such downtimes shall be duly communicated to the client and will be taken only upon formal approval from them. We may require planned downtimes to publish some new changes/features, for which Company will seek formal approval.
- End user will be presented with a proper message notifying such downtime when they open the app. Client can provide the relevant message to be shown. If any downtime happens as a result of outages in the 3rd party systems integrated with the platform, this SLA will not cover it.
Service Credits
If Enveu fails to satisfy either (or both) the Front-end Uptime commitment and/or the Back-end Uptime (Experience Manager and/or Subscriber/Monetization Manager) commitment during a calendar month, and provided Client is not in breach of the Agreement, Enveu will issue a credit in an amount equal to the following:
“SLA Credit” = Total cumulative minutes of Front-end Downtime less than the Front-end Uptime commitment (for the month) plus total cumulative minutes of Back-end Downtime less than the Back-end Uptime commitment (for the month) multiplied by the effective per minute rate of the Platform License Fee (total amount, paid monthly) ; meaning, the Platform License Fee divided by the total number of minutes in the then-current Initial Term or Renewal Term.
The provision by Enveu of the SLA Credit is Client’s sole and exclusive remedy for Downtime and any failure to meet the terms of this Service Level Agreement. To request an SLA Credit, Company must contact Enveu either via their Account Manager or Support Portal within 30 days after the end of the month in which the SLA Credit was earned. Recorded testing by Enveu of Experience Manager/others from an external network (non Enveu) shall be determinative as to the existence and duration of a Downtime Event as well as the remedy thereof. Multiple Downtime Events occurring simultaneously shall be considered a single Downtime Event.
Front-end Uptime and Back-end Uptime are separate metrics;
Front-end Downtime does not affect or count against Back-end Uptime and Back-end Downtime does not affect or count against Front-end Uptime;
A Downtime Event that causes both Front-end Downtime and Back-end Downtime shall be treated as Front-end Downtime only.
