SYNCRON will make the SaaS Solution available continuously, as measured over the course of any calendar month period an average of 99,5%, excluding unavailability as a result of causes described under Exceptions below (the “Availability Percentage”). “Available” shall mean a successful login via the web user interface and it shall be counted only for Production Environment. For purposes of calculating the Availability Percentage, the following are “Exceptions” to the service level requirement, and the SaaS Solution shall not be considered unavailable, even if not actually accessible to an individual User, if any such inaccessibility is due to: (i) CUSTOMER’s acts or omissions; (ii) CUSTOMER’s Internet connectivity; (iii) Internet traffic outages, delays or problems not under SYNCRON’s reasonable control; (iv) CUSTOMER’s hardware, software, or other equipment; (v) any hardware, software, service, or other equipment used by an individual user to access the SaaS Solution; or (vii) scheduled maintenance windows; (viii) performance of installation works within the Upgrades (as outlined in Section 1.5 below); (ix) any downtime agreed between SYNCRON and CUSTOMER.
Upgrades are included in the Annual SaaS Fee set out in Order Form. SYNCRON will at all times be entitled to upgrade SaaS Solution.

Once Issue severity level is agreed between CUSTOMER and SYNCRON (however, in case of doubts SYNCRON shall be allowed to make the final decision on the level of severity), usually it should not be changed unless new facts about the Issue come to light.
Severity level “Critical” – assigned to Issues that have direct impact on conducting all business e.g. orders cannot be forwarded to any supplier and or received from any customers.
Severity level “High” – assigned to Issues that have direct impact on the conducted business in specific areas, e.g. orders for a particular supplier or location can’t be forwarded, to one of the suppliers but apart from that SaaS Solution are working satisfactorily.
Severity level “Medium” – assigned to Issues that do not have a direct impact on the daily business since it can be worked around or could be accepted temporarily as a malfunction.

Severity level “Planning” – problems outside scope of Standard Support responsibility.
