COMPANY NAME HERE KINETIX SOFTWARE, LLC
This Service Level Agreement (this “SLA”) is an addendum to Kinetix Subscription Services Agreement (“Agreement”) between “Kinetix” and its “Customer” as defined in the Agreement.
Kinetix and Customer may be referred to herein collectively as the “Parties” or individually as a “Party”. Capitalized terms not defined in this SLA will have meanings set forth in the Agreement between the Parties.
This SLA describes the levels of service that the Customer will receive from Kinetix. It should be read alongside the terms of use in the Agreement.
This SLA also sets out what levels of availability and support the Customer is guaranteed to receive and explains what penalties will be applied to Kinetix should it fail to meet these levels.
- Uptime levels. Kinetix guarantees that the Service will have 99.0% uptime (“Uptime”). Uptime is measured over each calendar month. It is calculated to the nearest minute, based on the number of minutes in the given month (for instance, a 31-day month contains 44,640 minutes). If Uptime drops below the relevant threshold, a penalty will be applied in the form of a credit to the Customer. Uptime measurements exclude periods of routine maintenance, which may be any time outside of Working Hours.
There will be a 5% equivalent monthly fee credit accrued and applied automatically to future purchases if Uptime falls below 99.0%. If Uptime falls below 95.0%, the fee credit will be 10%.
To receive a credit, the Customer must submit a claim by email to the Kinetix support team within ten (10) business days of the end of the month during which the Uptime was below 99.0% and describe the incident in detail.
- Response times. Kinetix promises to respond in a timely fashion to all support issues raised by the Customer. The response time measures how long it takes Kinetix to respond to a support request raised. Kinetix is deemed to have responded when it has replied to the Customer’s initial request. This may be in the form of an email or telephone call to acknowledge receipt and commit to reviewing the request. The response may also provide a solution or a request further information.
Response times are measured from the moment the Customer submits a support request via email to Kinetix, provided the request is made during standard working hours (6am — 3pm Pacific Time Zone) (“Working Hours”). If a request is made outside of Working Hours, the response time will be measured from the beginning of the next applicable Working Hours.
Subject to the above limitations, Kinetix promises to respond to support requests within twenty-four (24) hours (“Response Time”).
- Resolution times. Kinetix will always endeavor to resolve any problems with or errors in the Service, or any failure of the Service to conform in any material respect with the Help Documentation, User Guides and/or the specifications in the applicable Purchase Order Form (“Errors”) as swiftly as possible. Kinetix recognizes that the Customer’s use of the Service is key to its business and that any downtime can cost money. However, Kinetix is unable to provide guaranteed resolution times. This is because the nature and causes of problems can vary enormously. In all cases, Kinetix will make its best efforts to resolve Errors as quickly as possible. It will also provide frequent progress reports to the Customer. Resolution times will be measured from the time that Kinetix receives the applicable support request provided there is sufficient information in the request to allow for full understanding and replication of the issue and a declaration of request classification is made (defined below). A recorded video description of the issue would be best (link to the video is sufficient). Support requests must be emailed to [email protected] and will be addressed during Working Hours.
- Support Request Classifications and Actions. There are three classifications of support requests. Critical, High, and Low. We will endeavor to respond to each and resolve as soon as possible. Our commitments are as follows:
Critical – investigation begins within one (1) hour of receipt of support request. Plan of resolution communicated within four (4) hours. Example issues that fall into this category are a) platform is not available for login (Amazon Web Service unavailable), b) Code failure, upon login, nothing else can be done.
High – investigation begins within four (4) hours of receipt of support request. Plan of resolution communicated within twenty-four (24) hours. Example issues that fall into this category are a) AHU model does not generate, b) a report does not generate, pages that support calculations such as pricing hang for extended periods of time and don’t render results.
Low – investigation begins within one (1) business day. Plan of resolution communicated within five (5) business days. Example issues that fall into this category are a) enhancement requests, b) cosmetic bugs such as spelling errors.
- Exclusions. This SLA does not apply when the issue has been caused by unsupported devices or browsers other than Google Chrome or operating systems other than Microsoft Windows.
This SLA does not apply in circumstances when Kinetix’s failure to perform is caused by a Force Majeure Event.
This SLA also does not apply if the Customer is in breach of the Agreement with Kinetix for any reason (e.g. late payment of fees, improper use, violation of terms, etc.)
THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, UNDERSTAND IT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS. THE PERSON WHOSE SIGNATURE APPEARS ON BEHALF OF EACH HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO SIGN. IF THE PERSON SIGNING BELOW AS CUSTOMER IS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, SUCH PERSON REPRESENTS THAT HE OR SHE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ENTITY TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

Except with regard to amounts due under this Agreement, and a party’s breach of Confidentiality Section, the maximum liability of either party to any person, firm or corporation whatsoever arising out of or in the connection with any license, use or other employment of the Service, whether such liability arises from any claim based on breach or repudiation of contract, breach of warranty, negligence, tort, statutory duty, or otherwise, shall in no case exceed the equivalent of 12 months of subscription fees applicable at the time of the event, and in the event of a breach of Confidentiality Section of this Agreement, such maximum liability of either party shall be an amount equal to three (3) times the equivalent of 12 months of subscription fees applicable at the time of the event. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, neither party shall be liable to the other party to the extent such liability would not have occurred but for the other party’s failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The essential purpose of this provision is to limit the potential liability of the parties arising from this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the limitations set forth in this Section are integral to the amount of fees charged in connection with making the Service available to Customer and that, were Kinetix to assume any further liability other than as set forth herein, such fees would be set substantially higher.
12.3. Exceptions. THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS ENTIRE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SECTION SHALL NOT APPLY TO EITHER PARTY’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN INDEMNIFICATION SECTION BELOW. Certain states and/or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the exclusions set forth above may not apply to Customer.
13. Indemnification.
13.1. Infringement. Kinetix shall, at its own expense and subject to the limitations set forth in this Section, defend Customer from and against any and all allegations, threats, claims, suits, and proceedings brought by third parties (collectively “Claims”) alleging that the Service, as used in accordance with this Agreement, infringes third party copyrights, trade secrets or trademarks and shall hold Customer harmless from and against liability, damages, and costs finally awarded or entered into in settlement (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) to the extent based upon such a Claim.
Excluded from the above indemnification obligations are Claims to the extent arising from (a) use of the Service in violation of this Agreement or applicable law, (b) use of the Service after Kinetix notifies Customer to discontinue use because of an infringement claim, (c) modifications to the Service not made by Kinetix, or (d) use of the Service in combination with any software, application or service made or provided other than by Kinetix.
If a Claim of infringement as set forth above is brought or threatened, Kinetix shall, at its sole option and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts either (a) to procure a license that will protect Customer against such Claim without cost to Customer; (b) to modify or replace all or portions of the Service as needed to avoid infringement, such update or replacement having substantially similar or better capabilities; or (c) if (a) and (b) are not commercially feasible, terminate the Agreement and refund to the Customer a pro-rata refund of the subscription fees paid for under the Agreement for the terminated portion of the Term. The rights and remedies granted Customer under this Section state Kinetix’s entire liability, and Customer’s exclusive remedy, with respect to any claim of infringement of the intellectual property rights of a third party.
13.2. Disclosure of Customer Data. Kinetix shall, at its own expense and subject to the limitations set forth in this Indemnification Section, defend Customer from and against any Claims that arise out of or result directly from Kinetix’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in preventing unauthorized access to confidential Customer Data, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with a Claim alleging a breach of confidentiality, and shall hold Customer harmless from and against liability for any Losses to the extent based upon such Claims.
When Kinetix is at fault but such fault does not rise to the level of gross negligence or willful misconduct, Kinetix shall, at its own expense and subject to the limitations set forth in this Indemnification Section and the amount of liability set forth in Limitations on Liability Section applicable in the event of a breach of Confidentiality Section, defend Customer from and against any Claims, and shall hold Customer harmless from and against liability for any Losses to the extent based upon Claims, arising out of or relating to Kinetix’s breach of Confidentiality Section of this Agreement. Provided that Kinetix complies with this Indemnification Section, Customer shall be entitled as its sole and exclusive remedy to terminate the Agreement and receive a pro-rata refund of the subscription fees paid for under the Agreement for the terminated portion of the Term.
13.3. Customer’s Indemnity. Customer shall, at its own expense and subject to the limitations set forth in this Indemnification Section, defend Kinetix from and against any and all Claims (i) alleging that the Customer Data or any trademarks or service marks other than Kinetix Marks, or any use thereof, infringes the intellectual property rights or other rights, or has caused harm to a third party, or (ii) arising out of Customer’s breach of Customer’s Lawful Conduct or Confidentiality Section and shall hold Kinetix harmless from and against liability for any Losses to the extent based upon such Claims.
13.4. Indemnification Procedures and Survival. In the event of a potential indemnity obligation under this Indemnification Section, the indemnified party shall: (i) promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of such Claim; (ii) allow the indemnifying party to have sole control of its defense and settlement; and (iii) upon request of the indemnifying party, cooperate in all reasonable respects, at the indemnifying party’s cost and expense, with the indemnifying party in the investigation, trial, and defense of such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom. The indemnification obligations under this Indemnification Section are expressly conditioned upon the indemnified party’s compliance with this Indemnification Section except that failure to notify the indemnifying party of such Claim shall not relieve that party of its obligations under this Indemnification Section but such Claim shall be reduced to the extent of any damages attributable to such failure. The indemnification obligations contained in this Indemnification Section shall survive termination of this Agreement for one year.
14. Governing Law and Arbitration.
14.1 This Agreement, and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement, shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of California.
14.2 Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Contract or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by binding arbitration in the JAMS offices in Los Angeles, California, before three arbitrators, all of whom shall be retired judges. Unless the parties agree on the arbitrators, each party shall select one arbitrator from the JAMS panel of neutrals and the third arbitrator shall be selected jointly by the parties or if the parties do not agree then designated at random by JAMS. The arbitration shall be conducted according to the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or, if the amount in controversy is less than $250,000.00, the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The initial filing fee and any interim fees shall be borne equally by the parties. The cost of the arbitration for contract claims, excluding legal fees and costs, shall be borne by the losing party or in such proportion as the arbitrator shall decide. Each party shall bear their own legal fees and costs.
15. General Provisions. This Agreement shall inure to benefit and bind the parties hereto, their successors and assigns, but neither party may assign this Agreement without written consent of the other, except that Kinetix may assign without consent to a related entity or the successor of all or substantially all of the assignor’s business or assets to which this Agreement relates. There are no third- party beneficiaries to this Agreement. This Agreement does not create any joint venture, partnership, agency, or employment relationship between the parties, although Kinetix reserves the right to name Customer as a user of the Service. This Agreement, including all exhibits and/or Order Forms, shall constitute the entire understanding between Customer and Kinetix and is intended to be the final and entire expression of their agreement. The parties expressly disclaim any reliance on any and all prior discussions, emails, RFP’s and/or agreements between the parties. There are no other verbal agreements, representations, warranties undertakings or other agreements between the parties.
Under no circumstances will the terms, conditions or provisions of any purchase order, invoice or other administrative document issued by Customer in connection to this Agreement be deemed to modify, alter or expand the rights, duties or obligations of the parties under, or otherwise modify, this Agreement, regardless of any failure of Kinetix to object to such terms, provisions, or conditions. The Agreement shall not be modified, or amended, except as expressly set forth herein, or in writing and signed or accepted electronically by the party against whom the modification, amendment or waiver is to be asserted, or by a properly executed Order Form. Notwithstanding the above, after execution of this Agreement, and during the electronic provisioning of Customer’s account, Customer will be presented with the requirement to “agree” to a click through agreement pertaining to “Terms of Service for Kinetix Applications” before Customer’s account can be successfully provisioned. Kinetix hereby expressly agrees that upon execution of this Agreement such “Terms of Service for Kinetix Applications” shall be considered null and void and shall not apply in any manner to this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed in accordance with the laws of the State of California and any controlling U.S. federal law and excluding the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA). 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 state and federal courts located in California and must be brought in state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, as permitted by law. In the event of any litigation of any controversy or dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, its interpretations, its performance, or the like, the prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees and/or costs. Customer shall compensate Kinetix (including reimbursement of costs) for responding to any request from a third party for records relating to Customer or a User’s use of the Service. Such requests can be a lawful search warrant, court order, subpoena, other valid legal order, or written consent from the User permitting the disclosure. If any provision is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. A waiver of any breach under this Agreement should not constitute a waiver of any other breach or future breach. Neither party shall be liable for any loss or delay (including failure to meet the service level commitment) resulting from any force majeure event, including, but not limited to, acts of God, fire, natural disaster, terrorism, labor stoppage (other than those involving Kinetix employees), internet service provider failures or delays, civil unrest, war or military hostilities, criminal acts of third parties, and any payment date or delivery of Service date shall be extended to the extent of any delay resulting from any force majeure event. Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5, 8.5, 8, 11.2, 12, 13, 14, and 15 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and/or by facsimile or electronic signature and if so, executed shall be equally binding as an original copy of this Agreement executed in ink by both parties.
This Agreement may be signed in counterpart. An electronic signature shall have the same effect as a manual signature.
