Service Level Agreement
Last Update: 21 September 2022
1. Introduction
This service level agreement (“SLA”) describes the levels of service that any Customer that is subscribed to any of the Services described in this document will receive from Ospree. This SLA should be read alongside the current terms of use available on the Ospree website (https://ospree.io).
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Ospree will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Platform and the Data Interface meet or exceeds the following service level guarantee: Uptime of not less than 99% during each calendar month during the Subscription Period (the “Service Level Guarantee”). The Service Level Guarantee will apply commencing the first day of the first complete month during the Resale Period.
2. Products and services available under this Agreement are:
Ospree SaaS Platform Plans (“Platform”): StartUp Plan, Business Plan, and Enterprise Plan.
Ospree API (“Data Interface”)
*All free plans, free trial plans and demo and sandbox versions are excluded from this SLA.
3. Uptime
“Uptime” is deemed to mean the total amount of time during a Month, excluding Excluded Downtime, that the Platform or the Data Interface is Available, measured as a percentage and calculated as follows:
Uptime = [(Total Minutes – Total Downtime) / (Total Minutes – Excluded Downtime)]* 100
4. Reporting and Claims
a) Reporting of perceived downtime: All problem reports should be emailed to support@ospree.io
b) Claims: If Customer reasonably and in good faith believes, based on Customer’s documented logs, records and data, that either the Platform or the Data Interface have failed to achieve the Service Level Guarantee in respect of a Month and that Customer is entitled to a Service Level Credit, then by no later than fifteen (15) days after the end of the month Customer shall send an email to support@ospree.io with the following details and documents: Customer’s estimate of Availability, Total Downtime, and Excluded Downtime during the month, with dates and time periods for each Service Outage during the month, to the extent known to Customer; copies of Customer’s documented logs and other records and data relating to Availability, Total Downtime, Excluded Downtime and Service Outages during the month; and Customer’s calculation of its Service Level Credit claim. A claim for a Service Level Credit submitted to Ospree more than fifteen (15) days after the end of the relevant month will be void and of no effect.
5. Compensation
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, if either the Platform or the Data Interface fails to achieve the Service Level Guarantee in respect of a month, then Ospree will provide Customer with a credit calculated as set out in the table below. Ospree will apply each Service Credit to the next invoice issued by Ospree for fees payable by Customer for the Platform or the Data Interface.
A Service Credit is Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Ospree’s entire responsibility and liability, if the Platform or the Data Interface do not achieve the Service Level Guarantee in respect of a month. Service Credits are not convertible to a cash refund or transferable to any other person, company or account holder, and may not be applied to fees for any other Product.

Uptime during Month: < 99%
Percentage of Monthly Fee for affected services to be assigned as Service Credit: 10%
