SaaS Site Service Levels

  1. SaaS Site. The website hosted by Flexera through which Licensee may access Cloud Software and SaaS is referred to as the “SaaS Site”.
  2. Third-Party Contractors. Flexera may retain third party contractors to provide facilities, equipment and/or services for which Flexera is responsible, provided Flexera will be solely responsible to Licensee for such contractors’ performance and their compliance with any applicable provisions of the Agreement, including but not limited to confidentiality provisions.
  3. Access. Each party will adopt precautions in accordance with recognized industry standards, including but not limited to password protection, to prevent access to the SaaS Site by parties other than Flexera, Licensee, and Licensee’s authorized end users.
  4. Backup and Restoration. Flexera will provide full and incremental backups. Backups will normally be performed seven (7) days per week. The copies of backups will be stored off-site in a secure facility. Upon termination or expiration of a Cloud Software or SaaS subscription, Flexera will retain Licensee’s data in the active SaaS Site for ninety (90) days after such expiration or termination of the subscription and Licensee will have access to a limited SaaS Site for the sole purpose of accessing such data for up to ninety (90) days after expiration of its Subscription Period.  After such ninety (90) day period, Licensee’s access to the limited SaaS Site will expire and Flexera will delete Licensee’s data from the SaaS Site; provided, however, that any prior backups that have been performed for disaster recovery or failover will not be deleted until such backup is overwritten by other data or destroyed in accordance with Flexera’s record retention policy.

    6.3. Flexera will maintain systems and controls designed to maximize Monthly Uptime, minimize unscheduled outages, and enable prompt notification in the event of any unscheduled outage. Flexera will credit to Licensee the percentage specified below of the total Monthly Fee paid by Licensee to Flexera, for any calendar month in which Monthly Uptime for the month falls within the range specified below. In order to receive a credit, Licensee must request such credit in writing within thirty (30) days of the end of the month for which it seeks a credit.
    Monthly Uptime % % Monthly Fee Credited

    95% -97.49% 10%
    Less than 95% 15%
    6.4. If Monthly Uptime falls below 99.5% for any three (3) consecutive months, or falls below 95% in any single month, Licensee may, within thirty (30) days of the end of the month giving rise to this termination right, terminate the subscription related to the failed Monthly Uptime commitment upon written notice to Flexera.
    6.5. The remedies in this Section are the sole and exclusive remedies available to Licensee for any failure by Flexera to maintain the required Monthly Uptime. The Monthly Uptime commitment only applies to the portion of the SaaS Site that is hosted in a Flexera data center. Components located on Licensee’s network or systems are not covered under the Monthly Uptime.
