SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT

Hyalto’s global support center is committed to delivering worldwide support to our service provider partners. We are committed to working with you to achieve a timely, efficient, and thorough, resolution of your issues.  This agreement represents a Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) between the Customer and Hyalto for the delivery of support services to sustain one or more Hyalto products. This agreement is pursuant to the associated Terms of Service Agreement (TSA) and is valid from the effective date of that agreements.  It will remain valid until either the termination of the TSA or it is superseded by a revised SLA mutually endorsed by the stakeholders. The objective of this SLA is to document the scope, priorities and policy used by Hyalto for providing services to the Customer.

Support Hours

Regular, fully-staffed, support services are available during standard business hours, which are between 8:00 to 17:30 Eastern Time Monday through Friday.  Support engagement with Hyalto staff can be scheduled outside of standard business hours as required by the customer and issue at hand.

All customers have access to a specialized after-hour support service to address any high-priority support issue which requires immediate attention.  Critical issues are managed 24/7 for Severity 1 cases. See Issue Response Time and Escalation table below for additional detail.

Reduced operating staff levels are in effect for Canadian Statutory holidays.  The Customer will be notified 5 business days in advance of any Canadian Statutory holidays occurrence where Hyalto will be working in a reduced staff level situation.

System Availability

Except for those periods of time designated as Scheduled Maintenance, Emergency Maintenance or instances where a major 3rd party service provider (e.g. AWS, ISP …) are unavailable, Hyalto shall make the service available at least ninety-nine and one-half percent (99.5%) of the time across a rolling 30-day window.    Should Hyalto fail to achieve the noted uptime in a given 30-day window, the Customer may apply for a credit based on 10% of their monthly recurring fee. Other than in exceptional situations where technical or logistical circumstances prevent this type of notification, Hyalto will post a message on the login web page informing the End Users of any expected downtime, the reason for the service outage and the expected duration of the service outage.

Scheduled Maintenance Activities

Regularly scheduled maintenance activities may cause a Service outage or adversely affect performance (such as slow response time).  Hyalto will notify the Customer no less than 7 days prior to the scheduled maintenance update. Hyalto will make a best effort attempt to schedule such activities during off-peak hours as to minimize any potential impact on both user productivity and data collection.

Emergency Maintenance

In addition to Scheduled Maintenance activities, Hyalto may be required to perform maintenance or corrections that are reasonably necessary to preserve the integrity of the Service. Hyalto will attempt to provide the Customer with 48 hours’ notice, as is possible under the circumstances or, if advance notice is not possible, notice as soon as possible after such activities begin.

Support Services

Hyalto provides a number of ongoing support services for Hyalto licensed customers.

Issue Reporting and Resolution

Hyalto support services are provided to assist with issues of a functional, data, operational or administrative nature encountered during use of the Hyalto-licensed products. The Customer can contact Hyalto’s Support Services via telephone, e-mail or the customer exclusive support portal. Issue priority and response levels are defined below.

Continuous Maintenance Updates

As software maintenance updates become available, Hyalto will make such updates available to all licensed Hyalto Customers as part of their license fee.

Product Enhancements

Hyalto continually improves the product through perpetual development cycles and encourages all customers to submit product enhancement requests through regular communication with the Hyalto support team. Minor enhancements are deployed through regular maintenance updates and are provided at no additional charge to the Customer.  

For major enhancements where the development and ongoing maintenance costs of a new enhancement justify incremental fees, Hyalto reserves the right to provide these enhancements on an additional fee basis.  The Customer will be under no obligation to license any fee-based enhancement capability. There is no fixed schedule for delivery of product enhancements, however quarterly release plans are the working norm.

Beta Test Programs

Hyalto customers may be invited to participate in Hyalto Beta Test Programs.  These programs are organized and administered by Hyalto’s Product Management and Quality Assurance teams to offer current customers pre-release access and training for new Hyalto features and functions as well as an opportunity to influence the path of product development.

Professional Services

Hyalto maintains a staff of product and domain experts ready to provide our customers with fee-based auxiliary support and expertise.

Issue Severity Classification

In order to ensure that the Customer’s reported issue receives the expected level of response, Hyalto uses an Issue Severity Classification system.  In diagnosing any given issue, the Customer recognizes that exceptional circumstances may identify previously unknown design limitations. These design limitations should not be considered a fault condition or bug.  Hyalto, in such instances, will attempt to provide an alternative solution to minimize the impact of any such design limitations, where possible. The Company will ensure, on all issues, that the re-establishment of a working system is of first importance.

Notwithstanding any exceptional circumstances, the severity assigned to a reported issue will be based on the severity descriptions defined below.

Severity

Level

Severity

Description

Definition Process
1 Critical A problem that severely impacts your use of the Hyalto service in a production environment (such as loss of production data, or access to your production Hyalto service is not available). The situation halts your business operations and no procedural workaround exists.
  • The objective is to get the Customer back on line and either correct the problem or downgrade the problem severity.
  • Work is continuous until a solution is deployed or severity is downgraded.
  • Develop an issue specific plan – diagnostics, communication, necessary resource, communication update frequency …
2 Major A problem where the production Hyalto service is functioning but its use is significantly reduced in some capacity. The situation is causing a material impact on an aspect of your business operations and no procedural workaround exists.
  • The objective is to get the Customer back on line and either correct the problem or downgrade the problem severity.
  • Develop an issue specific plan – diagnostics, communication, necessary resource, communication update frequency …
3 Minor A problem that involves partial or non-critical loss of use of your production Hyalto service or a pre-production development environment. For production Hyalto services there is a medium-to-low impact on your business (it continues to function, or functions via a procedural workaround).
  • The objective is to get the Customer a resolution to the issue within the most mutually convenient timeframe possible.  
  • Work can either be planned to coincide with existing development schedules or be continuous during standard business hours until a solution is deployed.  
4 Trivial A general question. For your production Hyalto service, there is a low (or no) impact on your business or the performance or functionality of your Hyalto service.
  • Hyalto Support will respond to all questions as part of the day-to-day product support service.  
  • All submissions for product enhancements will be acknowledge and logged for review by Product Management for future product plans.

Issue Response Time and Escalation

Response times and escalation protocol are based on the severity level of a given issue.  The table below defines the expected response thresholds and communication frequency the Customer will experience given the severity circumstance.  In all cases, action plans will be formulated and mutually agreed to by the Customer and Hyalto for the given issue. Those issue specific plans may override the standards indicated below.

 

Severity 1 2 3 4
Request Confirmation 1 Hour 1 Hour 4 Hours * 1 Business Day
Start of Resolution 1 Hour 1 Business Day 5 Business Days TBD
Targeted Resolution 4 Hours 3 Business Days Next Maintenance or Product Release ** TBD
Hyalto Management Notification 1 Hour 4 Hours N/A N/A
Escalation Trigger 1 Business Day 5 Business Days 60 Business Days N/A
Progress Update Frequency ** Hourly 4 Hours As Required As Required

* Or next business day, if reported after 4:00 PM Eastern

** Or as mutually agreed with the Customer

Hyalto will use all reasonable means to ensure that issues are addressed within the specified timescales detailed in this section.  In the event that issues remain outstanding beyond the agreed times, escalation may be initiated through two means – Customer initiation or automatically through our internal ticketing system.  

Should the Customer determine that insufficient progress is being made on a given issue, they may at any time request a conference call with the Hyalto Director of Partner Success to discuss alternate arrangements for issue resolution.  

Based on the Escalation Trigger defined by Severity level, the Hyalto ticketing system will automatically flag an issue as having surpassed the associated Escalation Trigger limit. In these instances, the Hyalto’s support staff will escalate the issue to the Hyalto Director of Partner Success who will contact the appropriate counterpart within the Customer’s organization to agree on a course of action to be taken.

Submitting and Resolving a Support Case

To open a support case, use the methods listed below. We encourage you to set the initial severity level for the problem when submitting a case. For Severity 1 issues we highly recommend calling Hyalto via the support telephone number in addition to the other methods.  NOTE: Hyalto requires a dedicated Customer point-of-contact who will be available until resolution, to provide 24/7 coverage for Severity 1 (critical) issues. Please refer to Issue Severity Classification table above when determining the appropriate severity level.

Resolution of a support case can include any of the following actions:

  • Fix for the problem is applied and confirmed (case closed)
  • Permanent business or system workaround (case closed)
  • Temporary business or system workaround (case severity level is reduced)

Action plan for the development of a fix or workaround:

  • Milestones and dependencies are set, communicated, and tracked (case severity level is modified accordingly)
  • Issue requires a Customer-specific customization or enhancement

Company will work with and coordinate with Customer on any such notices in any event. Company will comply with this Section 6.4 at Company’s cost unless the Security Incident arose from Customer’s negligent or willful acts or Company’s compliance with Customer’s express written instructions.

6.5 GDPR.

Fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, HST, GST, sales, value-added, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder. If Company has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, Company will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides Company with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, Company is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property and employees.

9. Confidentiality Obligations

9.1 Definition of Confidential Information. As used herein, “Confidential Information” means all confidential and proprietary information of a party (“Disclosing Party”) disclosed to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure, including the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including pricing and other terms reflected in all Orders hereunder), the Service and Documentation, Customer Data (which is the Confidential Information of the Customer), business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product designs, and business processes.

9.2 Confidentiality. Subject to Section 9.4, and unless the Disclosing Party expressly agrees in writing otherwise, the Receiving Party will: (a) use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only during the Subscription Term and only as necessary to perform the Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement; (b) disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only to the Receiving Party’s directors, officers, agents, employees and authorized subcontractors and their employees and only to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to perform the Receiving Party’s obligations or exercise the Receiving Party’s rights under this Agreement. Customer shall not disclose any performance, benchmarking, or feature-related information about the Service.

9.3 Protection. Each party agrees to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the other party in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential information of like kind (but in no event using less than reasonable care).

9.4 Compelled Disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, it shall provide the Disclosing Party with prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.

9.5 Remedies. If the Receiving Party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in breach of confidentiality protections hereunder, the Disclosing Party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being specifically acknowledged by the parties that any other available remedies may be inadequate.

9.6 Return of Confidential Information. Upon Disclosing Party’s written request upon expiration or termination of this Agreement (or at any earlier time upon written request by the Disclosing Party), the Receiving Party will: (a) promptly deliver to the Disclosing Party all originals and copies, in whatever form or medium, of all the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and all documents, records, data and materials, in whatever form or medium, containing such Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession, power or control and the Receiving Party will delete all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from any and all of the Receiving Party’s computer systems, retrieval systems and databases; and (b) request that all persons to whom it has provided any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information comply with this Section 9.6.
