Acquia DAM Service Level Policy
This Service Level Policy governs the use of Acquia DAM (the “Service”) under
the terms of the applicable Order between Acquia and Customer.
1. Service Commitment
Acquia will use commercially reasonable efforts to make production Service
infrastructure available for 99.95% during any calendar month during the
applicable Subscription Term (the “Service Level Commitment”, as applicable).
2. Definitions
Availability will be calculated per calendar month, as follows: (*)

(*) The formula changes as applicable to the uptime SLA purchased by the
customer.
where:
- total means the total number of minutes for the calendar month.
- non-excluded means the downtime/unavailability that is not excluded.
- excluded means the Service Commitment exclusions defined below.
Unavailability means that the Service infrastructure is unresponsive or
responds with an error.
3. Service Extension
If and to the extent Acquia fails to meet the applicable Service Level
Commitment or a calendar month, for each one-half hour of unavailability
Customer will receive a one-day extension of their Subscription
(each a “Service Extension”); provided (i) Customer informs Acquia within
fifteen days of the purported outage providing a full description of the
service interruption, including logs if applicable, and (ii) requests a Service
Extension in writing (email acceptable). When Customer entitlement to a Service
Extension is confirmed by Acquia in writing (via email or support ticket),
Acquia will apply such Service Extension to the end of the then-current
applicable Subscription Term. If Customer has accumulated Service
Extensions during two consecutive months or three months in any six-month
period, Customer may terminate the applicable Order upon seven days advance
written notice to Acquia. In the event of an unavailability of the Service
that is directly attributable to flaws in Customer’s environment (including the
underlying code) where, despite reasonable notification from Acquia that such
flaws are adversely impacting availability and Customer fails to
correct such flaws, then Acquia may terminate the applicable Order upon 30-days
written notice to Customer. The Service Extension and termination rights
constitute Customer’s exclusive remedy and Acquia’s sole liability and
obligation for any failure to maintain the Service Level Commitment.
4. Service Commitment Exclusions
The Service Commitment does not apply to any Unavailability, outage, suspension
or termination of any Service performance issues:
- that are caused by factors outside of Acquia’s reasonable control, including
any force majeure event, network intrusions or denial of service attacks;
- any outages that result from any actions or inactions of Customer or any
third parties engaged by Customer, missing Customer Data, Customer’s
software or hardware or third party software or hardware, or both, or usage
capacity in excess of the Customer purchased amount, or from abuses or other
behaviors by Customer that violate the Agreement;
- any outages lasting less than one minute but no more than three such outages
in a 24 hour period;
- Unavailability that relates to any malware, viruses, Trojan horses, spyware,
worms or other malicious or harmful code in the website that (1) was not
introduced by Acquia or (2) was not introduced as a result of Acquia’s
failure to perform the Services in compliance with the standard included
herein or in the Subscription and Services Agreement;
- acts or omissions caused by Customer’s CDN.
In the event of any outages described above, Acquia will use commercially
reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption, inaccessibility and/or
inoperability of the website in connection with outages, whether scheduled or
not. Such efforts will include instances in another Availability Zone if
available.
Acquia Inc. reserves the right to change the Products and Services Guide
based on prevailing market practices and the evolution of our products.
Changes will not result in a degradation in the level of services provided
during the period for which fees for such services have been paid.
