HOSTING SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT

Revised Effective as of January 1, 2024


HOSTED SERVER AVAILABILITY

If Hosted Services* are included, DAS warrants the Service will be generally available 99.99% of the time, except as provided below. General availability will be calculated per calendar month, as follows:

 

[( total - nonexcluded - excluded / total - excluded ) * 100 ] = 99.99%

 

Where:

  • Total means the total number of minutes for the month
  • Nonexcluded means downtime that is not excluded
  • Excluded means the following:
  • Any planned downtime for which DAS gives advance written (email) notice. DAS will use reasonable commercial efforts to schedule any planned downtime during times in which it would be reasonably expected to result in minimal business disruption.
  • Any period of unavailability lasting less than 4 minutes.
  • Any failure by Client to have its local equipment or Internet Service Provider (ISP) meet minimum specifications, or which failure cannot be replicated outside of Client’s environment; and
  • Any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond DAS’ reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems, computer, telecommunications, ISP or hosting facility failures or delays involving hardware, software or power systems not within DAS’ possession or reasonable control, and network intrusions or denial of service attacks.


For any partial calendar month during which Client subscribes to the Service, general availability will be calculated based on the entire calendar month, not just the portion for which Client subscribed. In addition, unavailability of some specific features or functions within the Service, while others remain available, will not constitute unavailability of the Service, so long as the unavailable features or functions are not, in the aggregate, material to the Service as a whole.


PENALTIES

In the event DAS hosted services are not generally available 99.99% of the time, Client will be eligible to receive a Service Credit equal to one day of fees (i.e. 1/30th of the MSC as provided in the Client Order Form) for each full percentage point or fraction thereof below 99.99%. Any such credit shall be applied to Client’s next invoice (or refunded if there are no forthcoming invoices). Service credits are capped at the total monthly fee of the service.

The penalties specified in this "Penalties" section shall be the sole remedies available to Client for DAS’s breach of this SLA.


REPORTING AND CLAIMS

To file a claim under this SLA, Client must send an email to SLA@DAShealth.com with the following details: 

 

  • Billing information, including company name, billing address, billing contact and billing contact phone number
  • Downtime information with dates and time periods for each instance of downtime during the relevant period
  • An explanation of the claim made under this SLA, including any relevant calculations.

 

Claims may only be made on a calendar month basis and must be submitted within 10 days after the end of the relevant month, except for periods at the end of a subscription agreement that do not coincide with a calendar month, in which case Client must make any claim within 10 days after the end of its subscription agreement. All claims will be verified against DAS's system records. Should any periods of downtime submitted by Client be disputed, DAS will provide to Client a record of Service availability for the period in question. DAS will only provide records of system availability in response to good faith Client claims.

 

GENERAL

Any obligations of DAS under this SLA shall become null and void upon any breach by Client of the DAS Standard Incorporated Terms and Conditions, including any failure by Client to meet payment obligations to DAS.

 

CLIENT SUPPORT

General Client Support is available between the hours of 8:00 am and 8:00 pm EST Monday through Friday, except for Company recognized holidays, which include New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and the Friday after, and Christmas Day.
