13. Service Level Agreement
i) Service Commitment
NexOne will use commercially reasonably efforts to avoid Unavailable Time (as defined below). In the event NexOne has Unavailable Time in a given calendar month, Customer will be eligible to receive a Service Level Credit as described below.
ii) Definitions
"Unavailable Time"
means when the NexOne is not in service and not fully available for access and data input by a Customer, as such term is used in the table in Section (a) below. Scheduled Maintenance (as defined below) does not count as Unavailable Time. “Force Majeure” or downtime originating from issues outside of NexOne’s control, including 3rd Party vendor issues does not count towards Unavailable Time.
"Scheduled Maintenance"
means periodic maintenance that allows NexOne to perform maintenance and repairs or to add features or enhance existing features of NexOne. NexOne will make commercially reasonable efforts to limit (a) the instances of Scheduled Maintenance and (b) the duration and impact of each instance of Scheduled Maintenance. The dates and times for Scheduled Maintenance will be communicated to the customer base depending on the duration of Scheduled Maintenance.
Duration of Scheduled Maintenance
|
Notice to Customers
|
< 15 minutes
|
At least 1 Day in advance
|

|
At least 1 Week in advance

"Service Level Credits" means a dollar credit against amounts payable by Customer to NexOne. Service Level Credits are computed as a percentage of the prorated fees for the NexOne Service for the calendar month in which the applicable service level(s) was not met.
iii) SERVICE LEVEL CREDITS
a)The table below sets forth Service Level Credits to which Customer may be entitled, except to the extent expressly excused per Section (d) below. In order to be entitled to Service Level Credits, Customer must provide NexOne with written notice no later than the end of the Term during which the breach occurred:
The aggregate amount of time that the NexOne Service is Unavailable in a calendar month is more than…

THEN Service Level Credit of…

45 minutes
|
5%
|
4.5 hours
|
10%
|
9 hours
|
15%
|
b)Service Level Credits due to Customer will be applied against the next payment due to NexOne for NexOne Service. Customers with prepaid accounts may, upon written request, receive Service Level Credits in the form of a cash refund, calculated by applying the Service Level Credit percentage against one-twelfth (1/12) of the annualized prepaid amount.
c)If a single incident gives rise to multiple occurrences of Unavailable Time, as determined by NexOne in its reasonable judgment, then Customer will be entitled to a Service Level Credit only for the Unavailable Time that is associated with the largest Service Level Credit.
d)NexOne will be excused from Unavailable Time occurrences and Customer will not be entitled to any Service Level Credit for such an occurrence if it is caused by: (a) acts or omissions of Customer, its affiliates, or representatives or agents of the foregoing; (b) any events outside of NexOne’s reasonable control (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any force majeure events); or (c) delay or failure of Customer, its Affiliates, or representatives or agents of the foregoing, to perform Customer’s obligations under the Agreement, including, without limitation, delay or failure of Customer to act (e.g., review, approve, or reject) in a manner reasonably requested by NexOne (but such request shall not cause Customer to incur material out-of-pocket costs) in a timely manner and any other breach of the Agreement by or on behalf of Customer that materially adversely impacts NexOne ability to limit Unavailable Time. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Scheduled Maintenance is not Unavailable Time and that Customer shall not receive Service Level Credit for Scheduled Maintenance.
e)The Service Level Credits constitute Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any unavailability or non-performance of the NexOne or other failure by NexOne to provide the NexOne Service.
14. Additional Rights
Certain provinces, states and/or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental, consequential or certain other types of damages, so the exclusions set forth above may not apply to you.
14. Local Laws
NexOne makes no representation that the Service is appropriate or available for use in other locations. If you use the Service from outside Canada you are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, including without limitation export and import regulations of other countries.

Any purported assignment in violation of this section shall be void.

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein and without regard to the choice or conflicts of law provisions of any jurisdiction, and any disputes, actions, claims or causes of action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the provincial and federal courts located in the Montreal district.
