Out-of-scope Services: any of the following services:
- any services provided by TextRazor in connection with any apparent problem regarding TextRazor reasonably determined by TextRazor not to have been caused by a Fault, but rather by a Customer Cause or a cause outside TextRazor's control (including any investigational work resulting in such a determination);

Support Services: maintenance and support of TextRazor as set out in this SLA, including Help Desk Support, but excluding any Out-of-scope Services.
SUPPORT SERVICES
During the Subscription Term TextRazor shall perform the Support Services during the Support Hours in accordance with the Service Levels. As part of the Support Services, TextRazor shall:
- provide Help Desk Support during Support Hours only;
- use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to correct all Faults notified by means of Support Request; and
- provide technical support for TextRazor in accordance with the Service Levels.
TextRazor may reasonably determine that any services are Out-of-scope Services. If TextRazor makes any such determination, it shall promptly notify the Customer of that determination.
The Customer acknowledges that TextRazor is not obliged to provide Out-of-scope Services.
For the avoidance of doubt, statistical errors resulting from an incorrect classification from the algorithms used to provide TextRazor do not constitute a failure of TextRazor to operate in accordance with the Documentation and are not a ‘Fault’ for the purposes of this SLA.
SUBMITTING SUPPORT REQUESTS AND ACCESS
The Customer may only request Support Services by way of a Support Request. Each Support Request shall include a description of the problem and the start time of the incident.
The Customer shall provide TextRazor with:
- prompt notice of any Faults; and
- such output and other data, documents, information, assistance and (subject to compliance with all Customer's security and encryption requirements notified to TextRazor in writing) remote access to the Customer System, as are reasonably necessary to assist TextRazor to reproduce operating conditions similar to those present when the Customer detected the relevant Fault and to respond to the relevant Support Request.
All Support Services shall be provided from TextRazor's offices.
SERVICE LEVELS
The Service shall be Available as follows:
Availability % = ((A − B) / A) *100
Where: A= the number of minutes during the month less scheduled downtime for maintenance purposes that is agreed with Customer in advance. B = the number of minutes during the month when TextRazor are not Available (other than during scheduled downtime for maintenance purposes).
The performance standard that shall be achieved by TextRazor in the relevant month for the Service Level to be achieved shall be greater than, or equal to, 99.5%.
SERVICE CREDITS
If TextRazor fails to meet a Service Level related to Availability, the Customer shall become entitled to the Service Credit set out below, provided that the relevant Fault or other problem relating to TextRazor:
- did not result from a Customer Cause or a cause outside TextRazor's control; and
- was promptly notified to TextRazor as a Support Request.
Where Availability is between 95% and 99.5% - An amount equal to 10% of the-then current monthly Subscription Fee.
Where Availability is between 90% and 95% - An amount equal to 25% of the-then current monthly Subscription Fee.
Where Availability is less than 90% - An amount equal to 50% of the-then current monthly Subscription Fee.
The parties acknowledge that each Service Credit is a genuine pre-estimate of the loss likely to be suffered by the Customer and not a penalty. The provision of a Service Credit shall be an exclusive remedy for any Service Level failure.
Service Credits shall be shown as a deduction from the amount due from the Customer to TextRazor in the next invoice then due to be issued under the Terms of Use. TextRazor shall not in any circumstances be obliged to pay any money or make any refund to the Customer.
OTHER REMEDIES
If a Solution is not provided within the relevant Service Level response time, the Customer may escalate the Support Request to the Customer’s manager and Toby Crayston, Director of TextRazor Ltd:
