Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Simplexam will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services Available at least ninety-nine and ninety-five hundredths percent (99.95%) of the time as measured over the course of each calendar month during the Term (each such calendar month, a “Service Period”), excluding unavailability as a result of any of the Exceptions described below in this Section 4.1 (the “Availability Requirement”). “Service Level Failure” means a material failure of the Services to meet the Availability Requirement. “Available” means the Services are available for access and use by You and Your Authorized Users over the Internet. For purposes of calculating the Availability Requirement, the following are “Exceptions” to the Availability Requirement, and neither the Services will be considered un-Available nor any Service Level Failure be deemed to occur in connection with any failure to meet the Availability Requirement or impaired ability of Yourself or Your Authorized Users to access or use the Services that is due, in whole or in part, to any: (i) act or omission by Yourself or any Authorized User; (ii) delay or failure of performance caused in whole or in part by Your delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of Your obligations under this Agreement; (iii) Your or Your Authorized User’s Internet connectivity; (iv) Force Majeure Event; (v) failure, interruption, outage, or other problem with any software, hardware, system, network, facility, or other matter not supplied by Simplexam pursuant to this Agreement; (vi) Scheduled Downtime; or (vii) disabling, suspension, or termination of the Services pursuant to Section 10.
  • 4.2. Service Level Failures and Remedies. In the event of a Service Level Failure, Simplexam will issue a credit to You equal to the proportion of the Service Level Failure duration to the Service Period multiplied by the Fees for the Services due for the Service Period in which the Service Level Failure occurred (each a “Service Credit”), subject to the following: (a) Simplexam has no obligation to issue any Service Credit unless: (i) You report the Service Level Failure to Simplexam immediately on becoming aware of it; and (ii) You request such Service Credit in writing within ten (10) days of the Service Level Failure; and in no event will a Service Level Credit for any Service Period exceed ten percent (10%) of the total Fees that would be payable for that Service Period if no Service Level Failure had occurred. Any Service Credit payable to You under this Agreement will be issued to You in the calendar month following the Service Period in which the Service Level Failure occurred. This Section 4.2 sets forth Simplexam’s sole obligation and liability and Your sole remedy for any Service Level Failure.

The receiving Party shall not disclose the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the receiving Party’s employees who have a need to know the Confidential Information for the receiving Party to exercise its rights or perform its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required (i) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order; or (ii) to establish a Party’s rights under this Agreement, including to make required court filings. On the expiration or termination of the Agreement, the receiving Party shall promptly return to the disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to the disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed. Each Party’s obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the Effective Date and will expire five (5) years from the date first disclosed to the receiving Party; provided, however, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable law), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.
