Service Level Agreement

Touchtech provides a 98.9% Uptime guarantee, as described below, for Customers on the Business Pro plan and above (our Service Level Agreement or SLA). If we fall short of our 98.9% Uptime guarantee and your Brand Workspace is affected, we’ll apply a Platform Credits to your account for future use.

To review reporting of current and historical Uptime, visit Touchtech Status.

Downtime
Downtime means the time (in minutes) during Opening Hours that Users of the Platform are not able to access the Platform due to critical or high incidents, perform ordinary functions, or use the Platform for normal business operations as a result of failure or delay where there are no reasonable workarounds.

“Opening Hours” means from 24 hours per day from Monday to Friday (Central European Time), which imply 1440 minutes per day multiplied by the number of days in the applicable month.

Downtime does not include any minutes when:

  • The Platform is not available due to Planned Maintenance or a Force Majeure Event

  • Problems outside of our reasonable control (such as no electricity to the setup, user turning off the setup, faulty user configuration, failing third party software on the PC in the setup, any failing hardware component or no internet access etc.)

  • Faulty content export from the Customer’s systems or non-responsive customer specific integrations to third-party systems

  • Slowness or other performance issues with individual features (link expansions, search, file uploads, etc.)

  • Any products or features identified as pilot, alpha, beta or similar

As it is, in some cases, hard to know if the Downtime is due to technical error caused in the Platform or caused by the Customer without troubleshooting, the issues must be reported in writing to the Touchtech Support (see “Support” section below) and verified by Touchtech to be considered Downtime. In case the Downtime is caused by a failure in the Platform the total minutes of Downtime will be counted from the time the incident was reported to Touchtech.

Touchtech calculates downtime automatically using server monitoring software to measure the server-side error rate, ping test results, web server tests and website tests, which can be accessed here Touchtech Status.

Uptime guarantee
Uptime is the percentage of total possible minutes the Platform was available during a month and will be calculated using the below formula. Our commitment is to maintain at least 98.9% Uptime:

[Opening Hours] - [Downtime] / [Opening Hours] * 100% > 98.9%.

 Planned Maintenance
Means the time (in minutes) that the Platform is not available to the Customer due to maintenance, including any upgrading of any software used to provide the Platform. Touchtech will do its best to perform for maintenance outside usual Swedish business hours.

Force Majeure Event
Means any failure or delay caused by event beyond the control of a party, which could not have been avoided or corrected through the use of reasonable diligence, including but not limited to, internet limitation or slow connection, power outages, network intrusion, lawsuits, pandemics, labour disputes, loss of communications, mobilisation or large-scale military recruits, ordinances, rationing of fuel, goods or energy, and defects and delays in deliveries from subcontractors caused by any party outside the Party´s control provided that the other Party is notified immediately.

Platform Credits
If Touchtech fails to meet any of the Uptime set forth in this SLA, Touchtech will pay the Customer credits as follows (the “Platform Credits”): If the Uptime during any given month falls below 98.9%, Touchtech will provide the Customer with a Platform Credit equal to the percentage of the total monthly fee applicable to the month in which the failure occurred corresponding to the Uptime Level set forth in the chart below:
