Qrypt may provide You with information it deems to be confidential (“Confidential Information”).

You shall promptly, and in any event no more than 72 hours after the occurrence, notify Qrypt upon becoming aware of a breach or threatened breach hereunder, and shall cooperate with any reasonable request of Qrypt in enforcing its rights. You acknowledge that any use of the Confidential Information in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement may cause Qrypt irreparable and immediate damage for which remedies other than injunctive relief may be inadequate.

Service Level Agreement

Effective Date: February 15, 2023

Last Updated: February 15, 2023

Introduction
This Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) to the Qrypt Property Access Agreement and Terms of Use (“Agreement”) provides the key performance indicators to measure the access to the Software and use of the Services provided to You by Qrypt. The capitalized terms used, but not defined in this SLA, will have the meaning assigned to them in the Agreement.
Uptime Calculation
“Uptime” means Services from Qrypt will be available with a 99.9% Monthly Uptime Percentage.
“Monthly Uptime Percentage” means (Maximum Available Minutes – Downtime) / Maximum Available Minutes X 100
“Maximum Available Minutes” means the sum of all minutes in a given Applicable Monthly Period, minus any unavailable minutes due to regularly scheduled maintenance.
“Applicable Monthly Period” means the number of days during a Period.
“Downtime” means the total accumulated minutes access to Services is unavailable during a Period. A minute is considered unavailable if a Valid API Request is made and a Valid API Response is not received within 10 seconds, provided that retries are continually attempted, at least one per five second period, for a total duration of at least 60 consecutive seconds.
“Valid API Request” means a well-formed API request submitted with valid credentials to an endpoint within the Qrypt portal. API requests sent at a rate in excess of 20 per second are not considered valid.
“Valid API Response” means a successful response performing the intended function to provide the Service, or an error code indicating resolution required by You.
Your Obligations
In support of this SLA, You will (a) comply with the Agreement, (b) provide information and authorizations as required by Qrypt to provide You access to the Service, and (c) adhere to any policies and processes established by Qrypt to report Service delivery failures and to prioritize service requests.
SLA Limitations
1. Pursuant to the Agreement, Qrypt reserves the right to modify or discontinue any feature or functionality of the Service and Software in whole or in part, at any time, provided that Qrypt may in its sole discretion provide notice to You in advance of material modifications. This reservation by Qrypt to modify the Service or Software as set forth in the Agreement includes the right for Qrypt to modify the SLA.
2. This SLA applies to receipt of Service or Software provided under the Agreement resulting from a paid Period. The SLA does not apply (a) to any separately branded service made available by You to third-party users of Integrated Products, (b) Service or Software provided by Qrypt as a Trial, or (c) Qrypt accounts with past due Access Fees.
3. This SLA does not apply to Qrypt performance below Uptime arising from:
  1. factors outside of Qrypt’s reasonable control such as a Force Majeure Event under the Agreement, as well as a network or device failure external to a Qrypt data center, including at Your site or between Your site and a Qrypt data center;
  2. the use of third-party Service, hardware, or software not provided by Qrypt including, but not limited to, inadequate bandwidth;
  3. the failure by You to modify Your use after receiving guidance from Qrypt;
  4. pre-release, beta or introductory or feature-sample versions of any Service or Software;
  5. unauthorized use of a any Service or Software;
  6. failure to adhere to any required configurations, support platforms, or follow any policies of acceptable use for any Service or Software; or
  7. attempts to use the Service or Software in excess of prescribed quotas or in circumvention of throttling of suspected abusive behavior.
Service Levels and Credits
1. If Service falls below Uptime for any Period, Qrypt will calculate the lowest Access Fee paid to Qrypt for the one of the prior three (3) Periods of Service and provide a credit to Your account in the amount of five (5%) percent of that lowest Access Fee.
2. Credits will be applied to the next invoice following the Period in which Qrypt receives proper notice of the Service falling below Uptime for any Period.
3. The parties acknowledge and agree that Your harm caused by Qrypt’s delayed delivery of the Service would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate, and that the credits are a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from Qrypt’s failure to meet the SLA.
4. The credits set forth in this SLA shall be considered liquidated damages and Your sole and exclusive remedy for the Services to perform below a threshold established by this SLA. You shall not be entitled to any other rights or remedies set forth in the Agreement for Qrypt performance below the requirements of this SLA. Nonetheless, the limitation of liability set forth in the Agreement applies to all claims against Qrypt regardless of whether such a claim alleges Qrypt’s failure to meet the requirements of this SLA.
Credit Request
To claim a credit because the Service falls below the Uptime for any Period, You must notify Qrypt within 45 days of the end of the Period for which the Service falls below the Uptime. A credit request under the SLA may be communicated to support@qrypt.com or by opening a ticket a www.qrypt.com. After said 45 day period, you expressly waive any credit, or other claim, relating to Service below the Uptime.
