Service Level Agreement

Last Updated: August 30, 2022

This Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) forms part of Fusion Sport’s General Terms and Conditions, available at: https://fusionsport.com/legal/general-terms-and-conditions/ (the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this SLA have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

1. Uptime Commitment

1.1       Uptime. Fusion Sport commits that the Platform will be available 99% of the time in any calendar month (the “Uptime Commitment”). Uptime is measured monthly, commencing at 12:00 am on the first calendar day of the month in accordance with the following formula:

Uptime = (Hours in the Month – Service Outages)
                                      Hours in the Month

1.2       Service Outage. A “Service Outage,” as used above, occurs when (a) material features or functionality of the Platform cannot be accessed or utilized by Customer or its Users; and (b) such failure is recorded with Fusion Sport’s helpdesk. The length of the Service Outage is measured from the time the technical support request is submitted to Fusion Sport until the time Fusion Sport confirms that the affected Platform is again able to transmit and receive data. Service Outages exclude any time that the Platform is unavailable due to (i) Scheduled Maintenance (as defined below) or (ii) reasons outside Fusion Sport’s direct control, including: (1) Customer’s or a User’s own telecommunications or Internet service providers; (2) a Force Majeure Event; (3) any systemic Internet failures; or (4) any failure in Customer’s or a User’s own hardware, data, software or network connection.

1.3       Scheduled Maintenance. “Scheduled Maintenance” means a planned maintenance period or scheduled downtime. Fusion Sport will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer one week in advance of any Scheduled Maintenance.

1.4       Service Credits. Fusion Sport’s sole liability (and Customer’s exclusive remedy) for any failure to meet the Uptime Commitment shall be to issue a service credit (“Service Credit”) calculated as a percentage of Platform Subscription Fees applicable to the month in which the Service Outage occurred, as set forth in the table below. Customer must request any Service Credit in writing within 30 days of the last day of the month in which Fusion Sport failed to meet the Uptime Commitment. Fusion Sport shall issue such Service Credit within 30 days of Customer’s request.
