EXHIBIT A

SERVICE LEVEL TERMS

The Services shall be available for access by Customer 99.5% of the time, measured monthly (calculated on the basis of a 24-hour day multiplied by the actual number of days in such month, which, for clarity, represents a total of 50 minutes of downtime per week), excluding scheduled maintenance and force majeure. Any downtime resulting from outages of third-party connections or utilities or other reasons beyond Licensor’s control will also be excluded from any such calculation. Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, and Licensor's entire liability, in connection with Service availability shall be to terminate this License Agreement on a no-fault basis, provided, however, that where availability falls below 95% in any month (a “Shortfall Month”), Customer may instead elect to continue using the Services and receive a credit equal to half the monthly fee for each such Shortfall Month.

Downtime shall begin to accrue as soon as Customer notifies Licensor that downtime is taking place and continues until the availability of the Services is restored. To receive downtime credit, Customer must notify Licensor in writing within 24 hours from the beginning of downtime, and failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit.  Such credits may not be redeemed for cash.  Licensor will only apply a credit to payment for the month in which the incident occurred.  Licensor’s blocking of data communications or other aspects of the Services in accordance with its policies or applicable laws shall not be deemed to be a failure of Licensor to provide adequate service levels under this License Agreement.

Customer Data is encrypted in transit via HTTPS and TLS 1.2 and at rest in encrypted databases on the Ratio.City Platform. Access to data on the Ratio.City Platform is provided by a role-based access control system that places strict limits on the scope of access according to the End User's membership in security groups, and the roles allocated to those groups. 

Upon the expiration or termination of the Customer’s Ratio.City Platform subscription or the License Agreement, the handling of Customer Data by Esri Canada shall be as set out under Section 13.3 of the License Agreement.   

Service Level Terms and the Services themselves may be updated as required by Licensor provided that any such updates do not materially diminish the Services or service levels.
