Service Level Agreement

1. Interpretation and Definitions

1.1. This Service Level Agreement (hereinafter referred to as ‘SLA’) is an integral part of the Terms of Service which define the level of expected Availability of the Platform and/or Nodes and support services provided by GetBlock.

1.2. This SLA is applied to the fee-based services available on the Platform and does not apply to the services provided for free.

1.3. All the definitions shall have the meaning given to them in the Terms of Service, unless otherwise defined herein. The following definitions and rules of interpretation apply in this SLA:

Availability: the state of the Platform and Nodes that allows the User to use all functions in all material aspects. The availability is calculated as follows: ((total minutes in a month - total minutes of Downtime) / total minutes in a month) * 100%.

Commercially Reasonable Efforts: the same degree of priority and diligence with which GetBlock meets the support needs of its other similar Users.

Downtime: the time when the Platform and/or Nodes is out of action or unavailable to use except cases of Downtime Exclusions. Downtime is indicated by the HTTP ‘503 Service Unavailable’ server error response code.

Downtime Exclusions: Downtime does not include cases of unavailability of the Platform and/or Nodes that results from:

  • a) any scheduled or emergency maintenance;
  • b) factors beyond GetBlock’s reasonable control including but not limited to force majeure events, virus and hackers attacks, Internet access or related problems of third-party service providers;
  • c) any actions or inactions of the User or any third party;
  • d) User’s infrastructure, equipment, software or other technology and/or third party equipment, software or other technology or User’s use of the Platform and/or Nodes in a manner inconsistent with the Documentation;
  • e) any termination or suspension of the User’s right to use the Platform in accordance with the Terms of Service.

Incident: any case other than Downtime that affects the functionality of the Platform and/or Nodes. Incidents may include issues indicated by the HTTP server error response codes including but not limited to ‘400 Bad Request’, ‘404 Not Found’, ‘504 Gateway Timeout’ etc.

Service Levels: the service level responses and response times referred to in section 4.

Service Credit: the User’s sole and exclusive remedy for any violation of this SLA.

Uptime: the time when the Platform and/or Nodes are fully available at the level of Availability set out hereof.
