TradeGecko – Service Level Agreement
-
Monthly Uptime Guarantee
-
TradeGecko guarantees that its Service will be available 99.5% of the time in a calendar month (“Monthly Uptime Guarantee”), excluding
Maintenance and Exclusions (both terms of which are defined below). You are eligible to claim service credit(s) for Service Downtime if TradeGecko fails to
meet the Monthly Uptime Guarantee, provided the total Service Downtime of 0.5% in a calendar month is verified by TradeGecko.
- “Service Downtime” is defined as an inability to access the Service caused by failure of network equipment managed, owned, leased or used by TradeGecko
to provide the Service, including the failure of managed switches, routers, and cabling but excluding Maintenance and Exclusions.
Irrecoverable Data Guarantee
If you attempt to access any of your data but the data is irrecoverable, you must report the same to TradeGecko as soon as possible. TradeGecko will
investigate the cause of the same and will require your assistance during such investigation. If the result of TradeGecko’ investigation indicates that the
cause of such irrecoverable data is due to the fault of TradeGecko, then TradeGecko will grant a service credit to you up to a maximum of the fee charged
to you for the calendar month during which the irrecoverable data event took place.
Service Credit(s)
-
You may claim the following service credit(s) which you can use to set off the fees or charges payable by you from a subsequent invoice due to
TradeGecko for the Service:
|
Monthly Uptime Percentage (x)
|
Service Credit
|
|
99% ≤ x <99.5%
|
10%
|
|
<99%
|
20%
|
Please note that the service credits above are discounts calculated based on the fees for the Service that you paid for the calendar month during which the
Monthly Uptime Guarantee was not met by TradeGecko, exclusive of any value added, consumption or other taxes that you may have paid for that calendar
month.
For example, if you paid $110 for the Service during a month where the Monthly Uptime was 98%, and $10 of that amount was value added or goods and services
tax, your service credit would be calculated as follows:
The service credits are your sole and exclusive remedy for any non–compliance of this Service Level Agreement by TradeGecko.
If you wish to claim service credits, you must follow the procedures set out by TradeGecko for you to do so.
You acknowledge and agree that you are
not
allowed to apply service credits in the following circumstances:
- towards reduction of any value added, goods and services or other taxes payable by you;
- towards accounts that are past-due;
-
for accounts that are terminated, expire or are cancelled before the conditions for payment of the service credits are met. Upon cancellation or termination of your account, any outstanding or previously accrued service credits will be forfeited. Service credits will be applied against purchases or renewals for which payment is due after the date the credit is applied. Service credits may not be applied against past due balances.
Maintenance
“Maintenance” means and includes:
- any scheduled maintenance of the cloud data centers used by TradeGecko to provide the Service of which you are notified at least [3] days in advance. For the purpose of notifying you, TradeGecko will use the contact email on record. Please ensure that this email is up to date and accessed frequently; and
- any maintenance of the data centres used by TradeGecko: (a) is necessary to avoid an immediate threat to the data center or the Service and (b) of which Customer is notified.
Exclusions
- Customer shall not be entitled to any service credits if Service Downtime is due to the following (“
Exclusions”):

-
the result of Maintenance;
- a Denial of Service attack, hacker activity, or other malicious event or code targeted against TradeGecko or an TradeGecko customer;
- failure of any hardware, software, network or Internet infrastructure not owned or managed by TradeGecko or its sub-contractors;
