Heedjy will apply available patches or mitigations within 24 hours, in case of a “Zero Day” vulnerability affecting its platform, if the vulnerability has a severity higher than 8.5 according to the CVSS v3.1 system. See https://www.first.org/cvss/user-guide
5. Payment of Compensation
The compensation will be in the form of Heedjy usage credits and may not be exchanged for cash or other forms of payment. All outage periods and compensation are calculated by Heedjy, according to the downtime definition, as defined in the Section “Uptime”. Once we’ve verified the outage, we’ll issue an SLA payment as a credit to be used against your invoice for the following month.
6. Heedjy Exclusions
No failure by Heedjy to attain an SLA will be considered an SLA Failure and no Service Credit will be provided in respect of such failure, if such failure to attain an SLA is caused, directly or indirectly, by (each, a “Heedjy Exclusion”): any unavailability, suspension or termination of the Heedjy Platform, or performance issues:
(i) that result from a suspension due to scheduled downtime or emergency maintenance that needs downtime, especially the database maintenance. However Heedjy will do its best to make these maintenance sparse and smallest possible. You will be sent a reminder email at least 7 days prior to any scheduled maintenance. A message will also be visible in your dashboard.
(ii) caused by any Force Majeure event or Internet access or related problems beyond the demarcation point of Heedjy; like your internet connection and the network infrastructure between you and the Heedjy servers
(iii) that result from any actions or inactions of Customer or any third party;
(iv) that result from (independently or in combination) Customer’s equipment, software or other technology or any third party equipment, software or other technology (other than third party equipment within Heedjy’s direct control);
(v) arising from Heedjy’s suspension or termination of Customer’s right to use the Heedjy Platform or the Services in accordance with this Agreement;
or (vi) involves a product or service that is currently in Beta.
