Gyrus Service Level Agreement

This Service Level Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of Client's agreement with Gyrus Systems ("Gyrus") (the "Agreement"), and does not become operative until either the Client has:

  1. Successfully completed all the training requirements for a fully configured version of the GyrusAim application; or
  2. Fully paid its account for a Client self-initiated version of the GyrusAim application.

Definitions

A "Defect" is a technical defect with the Gyrus application and/or those portions of software integrations within Gyrus’s control. Defects fall into two general categories: major (Severity 1 and Severity 2) and minor (Severity 3). The "Severity" of a Defect is determined by Gyrus, subject to the following definitions and parameters.

A “Business Day” refers to the hours of 8 am to 5 pm EST Monday through Friday in Richmond, Virginia, USA.

“Gyrus Customer Support Portal” refers to the self-service portal available to authorized Client personnel for access to product, support and other information relevant to the Client’s agreement with Gyrus.

“Gyrus Customer Support Portal” is the system available to all authorized Client personnel, for registering, monitoring or providing feedback on all requests for support from Gyrus.

Major Defects

  • Severity 1 (S1): A Defect that results in the Gyrus URL producing no results. "Severity 1" does not include downtime for maintenance.
  • Severity 2 (S2): A Defect that results in any of the following: (i) an entire application module (Gyrus SAAS LMS) is inaccessible; or (ii) all of Client's authorized users cannot log in to Gyrus's application after repeated attempts.

  

S1 S2
Initial Notification One(1) hour via an Incident Report
Status Updates Every two (2) hours until resolution or as indicated in the Incident Report
Resolution Twelve (12 hours) Twenty-four (24) hours
Remedy In the event that Gyrus has not complied with its "Resolution" obligations set forth above, then, for each calendar day (or portion thereof) that Gyrus has not so complied, Client shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy therefor, to a credit against Client's next invoice equal to 1/365th of the annual fees for Software set forth in the Agreement.

  

Minor Defects

  • Severity 3 (S3): A Defect in one or more application features.

For "Severity 3" Defects, Client determines its priority in having the Defect resolved (i.e., Priority 1 (P1), Priority 2 (P2), or Priority 3 (P3)). Any issue not clearly labeled "Priority 1" or "Priority 2" by Client at the time of initial submission will be deemed a "Priority 3" issue.

As a guideline, below are some examples of the three priority levels:

  • Priority 1 = A prominent feature that is routinely used that is important to the Client’s business, where multiple users are prevented from progressing with important tasks. There is no workaround.
  • Priority 2 = An existing feature that does not work as per product design, but multiple users are not prevented from progressing with important tasks. A workaround exists.
  • Priority 3 = A defect that is neither Priority 1 nor Priority 2, including without limitation, cosmetic issues with the application.

Note: The Priority level for a particular incident may be adjusted by Gyrus after the initial review.

Case Generation Upon submission

Status Updates Available 24/7 via Support Center

Escalation A Client business stakeholder (i.e., not a Client administrator) may escalate an S3/P1 defect to the Global Product Support Manager with a written statement of business impact relating to the Defect. Gyrus may agree to shorten the resolution time for the Defect following an assessment of risk and business impact. N/A N/A
Remedy In the event that Gyrus has not complied in all material respects with its "Resolution" obligations for S3/P1 and S3/P2 set forth above, then Client shall give Gyrus prompt, written notice of such non-compliance. If, after five (5) business days from receipt of a notice of non-compliance, Gyrus still has not resolved the problem, then Client shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy therefor, to a one-time credit** against Client's next bill equal to 1/365th of the annual fees for Software set forth in the Agreement. N/A

Gyrus will provide at least ninety-nine percent (99%) of Software availability per calendar month as recorded by Gyrus’s internal processes, excluding reasonable and scheduled maintenance periods. Should monthly Software availability fall below 99%, the Client will be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy therefor, to a credit against Client’s next invoice equal to one percent (1%) of its Subscription fees for that month for each one percent (1%) (or portion thereof) of unavailability. Credits must be claimed within ten (10) days of the end of the relevant month.
