For Evniverse LMS the Supplier guarantees an Availability of 99% per month. “Availability” is calculated as a percentage using the following formula: (a) the total number of minutes in a Contracted Month, minus (b) the total number of minutes of Downtime in a Contracted Month, divided by (c) the total number of minutes in a Contracted Month.
“Downtime” represents a period when the production system processing for the LMS Services ceases, and all your users are unable to utilize any aspect of the LMS Services for which they have appropriate permissions. It’s important to note that there is no “Downtime” if any user can access any aspect of the LMS Services they are authorized to use. Downtime excludes situations where the LMS Services are unavailable due to:
- Planned System Downtime: A pre-scheduled interruption of the LMS Services to conduct maintenance or implement system updates, such as applying a release, patch, or hotfix.
- Force Majeure: Unforeseen circumstances or events beyond the control of the Supplier that prevent the provision of the LMS Services, such as natural disasters (e.g., fire, flood, earthquake), civil unrest, epidemics, terrorism, war, labor disputes, government actions, orders, or restrictions.
- Problems with Customer or third-party applications, integrations, equipment, or Data: Issues arising from the Customer’s or third party’s own applications, integrations, equipment, or data that affect the functionality or availability of the LMS Services.
- Customer or third-party acts or omissions: Instances where individuals gain unauthorized access to the LMS Services using the Customer’s passwords or equipment, or any actions or failures by the Customer or a third party that impact the LMS Services.
- Customer’s failure to adhere to required system configurations and supported platforms: Situations where the Customer does not meet the necessary system configurations or use supported platforms to access the LMS Services, leading to issues or limitations in functionality.
- Supplier compliance with designs, specifications, or instructions provided by Customer or a third party: Instances where the Supplier follows instructions or specifications provided by the Customer or a third party, which may result in limitations or issues with the LMS Services.
- Failure of communication or telephone access service or other outside services, equipment, or software not the fault of Supplier: Problems caused by the failure of external communication services, telephone access services, or other equipment or software that are not under the control or responsibility of the Supplier.
- Any cause where the duration is less than 5 minutes: Situations that last for a period shorter than 5 minutes do not constitute a significant interruption to the availability or functionality of the LMS Services.
