This document defines the levels of service promised by Rentouch in relation to “Support” and “Service Availability”. It also details the “Service Credits” Rentouch may grant the Customer in the case of non-compliance with the service levels as set out in the Service Credits section.
‍

1. SCOPE AND PURPOSE
‍

1.1 This SLA is between Rentouch (“Rentouch” / “Us” / “We”) and Customer (“Customer” / “You”) and is part of the Software as a Service Master Subscription Agreement (“MSA”) between Us and You. This SLA describes the levels of Software Availability and support that You can expect to receive from Us during the Subscription Term. It also details the Service Credits We may provide You if We do not comply with the defined Software Availability and support.
‍

1.2 If this SLA is translated into any other language, the English version is authoritative.

‍

1.3 This SLA applies separately to each MSA.
‍

1.4 The current version of this SLA can be found at: https://piplanning.io and may be modified or updated by Us from time to time in our sole discretion with or without notice to You. Such changes will automatically apply provided that any changes will not have any material adverse effect on Customer.
‍

1.5 We encourage you to review the online SLA periodically.
‍

1.6 This SLA only applies to Software subscription Services described in the MSA. This SLA does not apply to any Software, equipment or services or other parts of an information technology system that are not subscribed from or managed by Rentouch. Refer to clause 9 for additional exclusions and restrictions to this SLA.
‍

1.7 This SLA is effective from the date a “Customer” accepts the MSA and ends on the expiration or termination of the Software subscription (the “Support Period“). Rentouch is not obligated to provide support beyond the end of the Support Period.
