   Service Availability = 100 x (total minutes in month - total minutes of Averaged Service Interruption in month) / total minutes in month

   “Service Interruptions” means the period of time that an individual Service is either (i) not available for Users log-in or (ii) not functioning in any material respect, but shall exclude unavailability during such time as the Customer is in material default under the Agreement or due to any of the following: (a) scheduled system maintenance, including downtime for the purposes of upgrading or enhancing the Services; (b) Force Majeure; (c) acts or omissions of Customer or Users; (d) critical security patches; or (e) equipment, software or other technology not provided by Zuva.

   “Averaged Service Interruption” means the averaged down-time of the Services in a given month, as measured by adding the total minutes of Service Interruptions for each individual Service in such month and dividing the sum by the total number of individual Services, as indicated below:

   Averaged Service Interruption = sum of total minutes of Service Interruption for each individual Service in month / total number of individual Services

   ii. Standard Support. Satisfactory payment of the Fees will entitle Customer to the following standard support during the Term (collectively “Standard Support”): notification of any upgrades, software revisions, new versions or releases incorporating enhancements to the Services provided by Zuva, or fixes for defects. Such notification may come via Zuva posting release notes in the ordinary course. Fixes for defects will be made available regardless of whether defects are identified by Customer or Zuva in the normal course.

To the extent that any personal data is collected (solely limited to names and email addresses of Users), this portion of the Customer Reported Usage Data will only be used for the purposes of Customer support and furtherance of Zuva’s obligations under this Agreement and Zuva will comply with any applicable data protection legislation in respect of that data. If Additional Usage Charges apply for a Customer Hosted Deployment, Zuva will invoice Customer quarterly. Zuva shall have the right to conduct an audit of a Customer Hosted Deployment Customer’s books and records to confirm compliance with the terms of this section. Such audit shall be conducted by a mutually acceptable public accounting firm. Customer agrees to cooperate with Zuva in the conduct of such audit within 30 days of notice. In the event such audit discloses an underpayment, Customer shall pay Zuva the amount of such underpayment within ten days of demand. Customer shall also be responsible for the cost of the audit if the underpayment exceeds 5% of the Fees paid for the period covered by the audit.
4. Suspension. Zuva reserves the right to suspend Customer’s access to the Services on ten days’ written notice to Customer if Customer fails to pay any amounts (other than such amounts as are then subject to good faith dispute) when due. If this agreement is for a trial of Zuva, and Customer exceeds their usage limitation of the Services by more that 20% on any given day, Zuva may suspend Customer’s access without notice or warning. Such suspension may apply for as long as Zuva chooses, including for the duration of the remaining Term.
