    The Bloomreach products are provided by Bloomreach to Customer during the term of the applicable Sales Order between Bloomreach and Customer (\u201cAgreement\u201d) and are subject to such Agreement.\u00a0 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this SLA have the meanings given in the Agreement.<\/p>\n

        1. If there is a verified failure of a Bloomreach product to meet any applicable Availability (as defined below) in a particular month and Customer makes a request for a service credit to\u00a0sla@bloomreach.com\u00a0within ten (10) days after the end of such month, Customer will be entitled to a credit based on the applicable monthly fees due for the affected product in such month (\u201cService Credit\u201d). Any applicable Service Credit will be applied to Customer\u2019s next invoice, provided that Customer\u2019s account is fully paid up, without any outstanding payment issues or disputes.\u00a0 Should a Service Credit be earned in the final month of a Subscription Term provided to Customer, such credit will be applied against outstanding amounts due to Bloomreach under the Agreement, and if no amounts are due, a refund of the credit amount will be sent to Customer.<\/li>\n

        3. Exclusions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Applicable Availability shall exclude, and Bloomreach shall not be responsible for, failures which occur as a result due to: (a) changes made to Customer site(s) or the applications that are configured, run and managed by Customer after initial implementation that cause the Bloomreach product to cease working or to function improperly; (b) changes made to Customer site(s) or the customer configuration of the Bloomreach product that are run and managed by Bloomreach which cause the Bloomreach product to cease working or to function improperly; (c) general internet problems, force majeure events, or other factors outside of Bloomreach\u2019s reasonable control; (d) Customer\u2019s equipment, software, network connections or other infrastructure; (e) Scheduled Maintenance; (f) non-production traffic (e.g. load testing, internal account traffic ); (g) development, testing, accepting or other non-production environments; (h) third party systems, acts or omissions; (i) Customer\u2019s non-Bloomreach applications; or (j) additions to or modification of the Bloomreach product by Customer.<\/li>\n
        4. Scheduled Maintenance.\u00a0 <\/strong>Bloomreach will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer at least 72 hours before any maintenance is performed.<\/li>\n
        5. Recurring Outage.<\/strong> If the average monthly (1) Delivery API Availability is less than 98.0%, (2) Management API Availability is less than 98.0%, or (3) Dashboard Availability is less than 96.0% for any 2 consecutive months (a \u201cRecurring Outage\u201d), Customer may terminate the Subscription Term provided Customer has given Bloomreach\u00a0 written notice\u00a0 of the Recurring Outage and intent to terminate within 10 days of the Recurring Outage. Such termination shall be effective as of the end of the calendar month following the month in which the Recurring Outage occurred,\u00a0and Customer shall be without liability, except all payment obligations incurred through the date of termination will remain due and payable. Only unavailability for which Customer is eligible for and has requested a Service Credit pursuant to Section 1 above to\u00a0sla@bloomreach.com\u00a0will be counted towards a Recurring Outage.\u00a0 For the avoidance of doubt, termination of the Subscription Term for an affected product pursuant to this SLA does not affect any other Subscription Term for other products in effect between the parties. In the event a Bloomreach product is terminated by Customer due to a Recurring Outage, then Bloomreach shall refund to Customer the pro-rata portion of any amounts actually paid to Bloomreach for unused Bloomreach product that is being terminated that correspond to periods following the effective date of such termination.<\/li>\n
        6. Exclusive Remedies.\u00a0<\/strong> Service Credits\u00a0constitute liquidated damages and are not a penalty. Service Credits and termination for a Recurring Outage, as applicable, are Customer\u2019s sole and exclusive remedies, and Bloomreach\u2019s sole and exclusive liability, for Bloomreach\u2019s failure to meet the Bloomreach\u00a0 Availability and\u00a0 Internal Response Times set forth herein or other Customer performance expectations.<\/li>\n
        7. Bloomreach Support<\/strong>\n
