Cloud Platform and Customer Support Services Terms and Conditions

This Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) is a policy governing the use of the KalioCommerce Platform under the Terms.

KALIO’S RESPONSIBILITIES

Kalio’s product consists of the KalioCommerce Platform and Site Manager. Kalio is responsible for repairing defects in the KalioCommerce Platform and Site Manager. Your website has unique implementation code, utilizing the services of the KalioCommerce Platform, written specifically for your website. This includes integration changes, form handler changes, control changes and front-end code changes. You are responsible for changes and defects in your website’s unique implementation code.

SERVICE COMMITMENT

Kalio will use commercially reasonable efforts to make your Production Instance – the KalioCommerce end user transaction site (“KC site”) – available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage (defined below) of at least 99.9% during each Service Month.

KalioCommerce will maintain a first byte response time of 0.5 seconds or less on a designated reference page on your website(s). Maintaining performance on website pages over time will be dependent on your adherence to Kalio’s web performance best practices. Kalio will monitor a reference page approved by Kalio and you. Kalio performs speed and load tests prior to launch of a new website. It is your responsibility to maintain appropriate designs and Front-End coding practices to preserve desired performance levels over time. Kalio Professional Services offers tune-up services to review Front-End code and design and make recommendations for improving performance.

UPDATE REQUIREMENT

Service commitments are contingent on you updating the version of the KalioCommerce Platform on production website(s) to the latest released version at least once every twelve (12) months. Kalio makes software updates available on a periodic basis under the Monthly Subscription Fee. You will be charged for installation of the software on test and production websites on a time and materials basis. New functionality available in each software release may require additional implementation work to expose the functionality on your Commerce website. This can be completed by your team or by contracting with Kalio Professional Services.

PCI COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENT

Kalio undergoes annual 3rd party assessments to certify PCI compliance as well as periodic scans to expose potential vulnerabilities. New vulnerabilities will appear over time and must be remedied in a timely manner. Kalio will use reasonable commercial efforts to maintain PCI compliance for the software platform and delivery infrastructure. Some vulnerabilities may appear in your website(s) based on changes to the Front-End Code, whether modified by you or by Kalio, or new vulnerabilities that arise for existing Front-End Code. Kalio will use reasonable commercial efforts to notify you when these appear. You are responsible for the remediation of these vulnerabilities. Kalio Professional Services may be contracted to provide assistance if desired. You hereby agree to defend, indemnify and hold Kalio harmless from and against any claims, suits, damages, payments, or liabilities of any kind whatsoever that Kalio may incur that are attributable, in whole or in part, to the failure of modifications made by or on behalf of you to Kalio’s Front-End code to conform to PCI compliance requirements.

KALIO EXCLUSIONS

The Service Commitment does not apply to any unavailability or any other KC site performance issues: (i) caused by factors outside of Kalio’s reasonable control, including any force majeure event or Internet access or related problems beyond the demarcation point of the Kalio data center; (ii) that result from any of your actions or inactions, or performed by Kalio personnel at your specific instruction; (iii) that result from Front-End Code written by you or your contractors without explicit review and acceptance by Kalio; (iv) that result from your equipment, software or other technology and/or third party equipment, software or other technology (other than third party equipment within Kalio’s direct control); (v) scheduled downtime and maintenance windows (currently scheduled for Tuesday morning from 3:30 to 5:30 AM east coast time); (vi) third party intrusions such as a Distributed Denial of Service attack and similar attacks; (vii) scheduled downtime for software releases; (viii) arising from suspension and termination of your right to use the KC site in accordance with the Terms (collectively, the “Kalio Exclusions”).
