2. Service Credits
-
-
Uptime Percentage. If during any full Calendar Month of the Term of the applicable Order Form, the Uptime Percentage for a Covered Service is lower than the Minimum Uptime Percentage, and Client notifies HR for Health in writing by sending an email to support@hrforhealth.com about such Downtime within 30 days of the Downtime, HR for Health shall provide Client with a service credit for that Covered Service in accordance with the table below in Section 2(b) (“Service Credit”). The Service Credit percentage will be calculated against Monthly Fees for the Covered Service and will be paid against future fees. In the event that Client’s fees have been fully paid and Client’s HR for Health subscription does not renew, any outstanding Service Credits accrued during the Term of the applicable Covered Service will be paid out to Client at the end of the Term as a partial refund of prepaid Monthly Fees. The “Monthly Fee” will be calculated based upon the licensing fees for the Covered Service as stated in the applicable Order Form (excluding flow-through costs for third-party services). If, for example, the licensing fee for the Covered Service is an annual licensing fee, then the Monthly Fee will be equal to the annual licensing fee applicable to the Covered Service divided by 12. HR for Health reserves the right to apportion value to Covered Services when Client has licensed multiple products in an Order Form to calculate Service Credits.

Except as provided in Section 3 below, any Service Credits provided pursuant to this SLA will constitute HR for Health’s sole liability and Client’s sole and exclusive remedy for any failure to achieve the Minimum Uptime Percentage. Failure to achieve the Minimum Uptime Percentage for the Covered Service will result in the Service Credit % applicable to each Covered Service, subject to a maximum cumulative Service Credit % of 25% of total Monthly Fees for the Service (regardless of the number of individual service failures in the applicable month).
-
3. Termination for chronic failure. If HR for Health fails to maintain an Uptime Percentage of ≥ 90% for any individual Covered Service for any 3 months in a 6-month period (“Minimum Level of Service”), Client may terminate that single affected Covered Service upon 10 days written notice to HR for Health from the date there is a failure to meet the Minimum Level of Service and will be entitled to a refund of any Monthly Fees for such affected Covered Service covering the period from the date of termination through the end of such prepaid period
