Service Level Agreement

Effective Date:  
March 17, 2023

Defined terms used herein have the meanings attributed to such terms in the applicable agreement between the Customer and SecureCo. This Service Level Agreement must be read in conjunction with the applicable Product Description(s).

SecureCo bases its service levels on availability, which measures the amount of time that a Service is available for use by the Customer.  

It is calculated per calendar month as the total number of hours that the Service was available less any maintenance divided by the number of hours in the calendar month less any maintenance and rounded up to the nearest two decimal places.

The below table outlines the Service Availability Targets and the applicable Service Rebate, in the event that SecureCo fails to meet the Targets. Service Rebates are subject to the Service Rebate Conditions and Exemptions and are expressed as a percentage of the monthly charges for that service.
