Service Level Agreement (SLA)
Livehouse will use all commercially reasonable efforts to make the LIVEHOUSE EventCDN Application available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage of at least 99.8% of the time during any month (the “Service Commitment”). In the event Livehouse does not meet this threshold, the Customer will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below.
LIVEHOUSE aims for 100% uptime on live productions at any time; however, this cannot be guaranteed. If any downtime is experienced during any live production, and this downtime is related to equipment owned by or delivered by LIVEHOUSE , the Customer is eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below, provided that LIVEHOUSE cannot remedy such failure within 3 hours. If any downtime or interruptions on both live and on-demand services are due to external partners provided by the Customer to LIVEHOUSE, or due to equipment provided by the Customers’ partners to LIVEHOUSE, or due to breach or interruptions in infrastructure on the location, or not directly related to LIVEHOUSE, the Customer is not at any time eligible to any Service Credit. End user issues related to end user platforms, end user infrastructure, or issues related to end users not being able to use the services, are not eligible for Service Credit as long as the service is running as intended on other platforms.
Except as otherwise defined below and elsewhere herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the General Terms:
“Monthly Downtime” means the aggregate duration of time during a calendar month plus past lifetime for the service , for which the ability to use LIVEHOUSE Services i. is not available to the Customer in any way, ii. or the ability for a service frontend to be viewed, iii. or a Managed Service is not available due to a problem with the LIVEHOUSE infrastructure, software or systems. Monthly Downtime shall not include the non-availability of the LIVEHOUSE Services as a result of specific geographic downtime due to Internet backbone issues, any bug or temporary issue with non-critical LIVEHOUSE features (i.e. graphics, library, 3rd party service integration, uploads, etc.) a Service Interruption Event, Scheduled Outage (Thursdays from 21.00 – 04.00 CET), or user-side issues (e.g., problems with the Customer’s Uploaded Content or Internet connectivity issues).
“Scheduled Outages” means the period that the LIVEHOUSE Services may be temporarily interrupted for upgrades, maintenance, security patching, or for any other similar reason or purpose, including an established framework for scheduling and managing such outages. Scheduled outages will occur during the times as determined by LIVEHOUSE with a 24-hours prior notice ie. on the LIVEHOUSE website, ii. or notice by mail, iii. or on the backend website. Updates for the benefit of the service and minor changes will be made without notice as long as this does not influence on the service or lead to outage / downtime of the service. General service windows are all weekdays from 20.00 – 02.00 CET.
“Service Credit” means a credit of a percentage of the amount of monthly recurring fees and charges for the LIVEHOUSE Services incurred by you for any corresponding Monthly Downtime that causes the Monthly Uptime Percentage to fall below the amount set forth in the chart below.
“Service Interruption Event” means a force majeure event such as flood, extreme weather, fire or other nature calamity, any law, order, regulation, direction, action, or request of any governmental entity or agency, war, riot, civil unrest, work stoppage or strike, or any similar event, or any other event outside of the control of LIVEHOUSE or any third party providing any portion of the LIVEHOUSE Service, that causes the LIVEHOUSE Service or any portion thereof to be unavailable.
“Monthly Uptime Percentage” is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of Monthly Downtime during a given month.
Service Credits will be calculated as a percentage of the total charges you pay in a month calculated in accordance with the schedule below:
Livehouse Monthly | Service Credit |
More than 99% but | 10% |
Less than 99% | 25% |
In the event you experience any Monthly Downtime that causes the Monthly Uptime Percentage to fall below the Service Commitment, and LIVEHOUSE determines in its reasonable judgement that such Monthly Downtime was caused by LIVEHOUSE’ failure for reasons within LIVEHOUSE’s reasonable control and not as a result of any actions or inactions of you or any third parties, your sole and exclusive remedy shall be the applicable Service Credit.
In the event that you are entitled to multiple credits hereunder arising from the same event, such credits shall not be cumulative, and you shall be entitled to receive only the maximum single credit available for such event. The aggregate maximum amount of Service Credits to be issued for any and all Monthly Downtime that occurs in a single calendar month shall not exceed twenty five percent (25%) of the amount of monthly recurring fees and charges for the LIVEHOUSE Service incurred by the Customer for the month in which such Service Credits are incurred.
To request any of the credits described in section 4, you must send an email to [email protected] within ten (10) business days from the end of the month in which you are eligible to receive a credit. To be eligible, the credit request must (i) include your Customer ID in the subject of the e-mail message; (ii) include, in the body of the e-mail, the dates and times of any Monthly Downtime that you claim to have experienced; and (iii) include your server request logs or other relevant data that document the errors and corroborate your claimed outage (any confidential or sensitive information in these logs should be removed or replaced with asterisks); and (iv) be received by us within ten (10) business days after the end of the billing cycle in which the errors occurred. Failure to comply with these credit request requirements will forfeit your right to receive a credit.
If approved, a Service Credit will be calculated by multiplying the percentage of the applicable credit to the bill for the month in question and applying that credit to the outstanding bill for the next month. In the event the credit exceeds charges for the LIVEHOUSE Services for the next month, any balance of the Service Credit will be applied to subsequent months until the credit is fulfilled, for a maximum of six (6) months. A Service Credit will be applicable and issued only if the credit amount for the applicable month is greater than one Danish krone (1 DKK).
Note, Service Credits are only eligibly on; production of events that are Live; OR for the hosting part of On Demand events – and can only be credited future events, i.e. not refund of the payment made for the production of the event in question.
Because damages from Monthly Downtime or other failure to provide the service level under this SLA would be impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies set forth herein have been arrived at in good faith as a reasonable estimate of compensation and not as a penalty, your remedy shall be fixed and liquidated as set forth in this SLA.
In no event will the total remedies available to you that are covered by this SLA exceed those set forth within. Your right to receive Service Credits set forth in this SLA is your sole and exclusive remedy for any unavailability of the LIVEHOUSE Services or failure by LIVEHOUSE to provide the LIVEHOUSE Services or for LIVEHOUSE’s failure to meet any guaranty or warranty provided by LIVEHOUSE.
No Service Credit shall be due and LIVEHOUSE shall have no liability for unavailability of the LIVEHOUSE Service (a) during any Scheduled Outage, (b) resulting from a Service Interruption Event, or (c) caused directly or indirectly, by the acts or omissions of the Customer or its representatives, or any other third party not acting at the direction or on behalf of LIVEHOUSE, or by hardware or software of the Customer, its representatives, or any other third party not acting at the direction or on behalf of LIVEHOUSE.
Without limitation, neither LIVEHOUSE nor any third party shall be responsible for acts or omissions of the Customer’s representatives that result in failure of, or disruption to, or unavailability of, the LIVEHOUSE Services.
The Customer agrees that neither the Customer nor its representatives shall attempt in any way to circumvent or otherwise interfere with any code or security precautions or measures taken by LIVEHOUSE or any third party relating to LIVEHOUSE Services. Any failure of or disruption to the LIVEHOUSE Service or unavailability of the LIVEHOUSE Service resulting from a violation of these provisions shall be considered a Service Interruption Event and the Customer will have no right to any Service Credit or other remedy with respect to such failure or disruption.
The Customer will be responsible for, and will indemnify LIVEHOUSE and all affected third parties for, any damage or service interruptions caused by the Customer or its representatives in violation of these provisions, including, without limitation, any damage to any equipment or software that is not supplied by the Customer. Further, the Customer agrees to compensate LIVEHOUSE and any such third party, at the then current rates, for all remedial services or losses resulting from any violation of the above provisions.
This SLA does not transfer any intellectual property to the Customer, and as between the parties, all rights, title and interest in and to all intellectual property rights of LIVEHOUSE and third parties shall remain solely with LIVEHOUSE and such third parties, respectively.
The Customer agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive source code or other trade secrets from the LIVEHOUSE Service.
