ShippingWonder, the latest shipping tracking technology

NexPlex, Corp, DBA ShippingWonder, Service Level Agreement

  1. Introduction

The purpose of this Service Level Agreement (’SLA’) is to demonstrate ShippingWonder’s commitment to providing 99.95 percent uptime of our Standard Rate SMS Services as set forth below. This SLA is incorporated into, and made a part of, that certain Service Agreement (defined in Section 6) entered into between Customer and ShippingWonder. The remedies provided in this SLA are the sole remedies available to the Customer for any failure of ShippingWonder to meet its Uptime Commitment (defined in Section 2).

This SLA relates only to ShippingWonder infrastructure, and does not cover issues relating to software, IT systems or web browsers, or other technology or telecommunication devices or services used to send SMS messages.

  1. Uptime Commitment to ShippingWonder Customers

Pursuant to the terms of this SLA and the Service Agreement, ShippingWonder commits to ensuring the 99.95 percent availability of at least one of ShippingWonder’s SMS gateways to enable Customer to connect thereto. This 99.95 percent availability shall allow sending of Standard Rate SMS Messages, measured on a monthly basis, where the:

  • Denominator is represented by the number of minutes in a given month minus the number of minutes of Allowable Downtime (the ’Uptime Commitment’)
  • Numerator is represented by the number of minutes in a given month that at least one of ShippingWonder’s SMS gateways is available to the Customer for sending Standard Rate SMS Messages.
  1. Consequences of failure to deliver on the 99.95 percent Uptime Commitment

Should, for any given calendar month during the term of the Service Agreement, ShippingWonder not meet its Uptime Commitment (as defined in Section 2 above), the Customer will be eligible to receive, as its sole remedy and ShippingWonder’s sole liability, a service level credit as set out in clauses 3.1 and 3.2 below.

3.1. Standard Business Customers

If, in a calendar month, ShippingWonder fails to meet its Uptime Commitment under this SLA, Standard Business Customers are entitled to receive account credit. These Standard Business Customers must:

  • Be affected by such ShippingWonder Uptime Commitment failure
  • Register a complaint in writing with ShippingWonder within the calendar month immediately following the period in which ShippingWonder’s Uptime Commitment failure occurred.

Credits shall be applied to the amounts owed by the Customer under the Service Agreement, and the list below outlines the credits available depending on the Standard Business Customer’s location:

  • USD$40 for American Customers

3.2. Platinum Program Members

If, in a calendar month, ShippingWonder fails to meet its Uptime Commitment under this SLA, Platinum Program Members are entitled to receive account credit. These Platinum Program Members must:

  • Be affected by such ShippingWonder Uptime Commitment failure
  • Register a complaint in writing with ShippingWonder during, or within the calendar month immediately following the period in which ShippingWonder’s Uptime Commitment failure occurred.

The credit shall be relative to the actual business impact up to a maximum of the fees due under the Service Agreement authorized by the Customer in the calendar month in which the Uptime Commitment failure occurred. If the Customer has already paid the fees due in the calendar month in question, then the Customer’s ShippingWonder account shall be credited for such amount to be offset against the Customer’s next monthly invoice(s).

During the term of the Service Agreement, ShippingWonder will provide Customers access to its standard technical support.

4.1. Standard Business Customers

ShippingWonder endeavors to provide a personal response to all telephone queries, however during high volume support periods Standard Business Customers may be asked to leave a message through our voicemail system. Similarly, if Standard Business Customers place a support call before or after the aforementioned access hours, the Customer may be asked to leave a message through our voicemail system.

If a message is left with ShippingWonder’s telephone answering service, a technical support officer will return the call within the first two (2) Standard Business Hours of the next Business Day.

4.2. Platinum Program Members

ShippingWonder will provide Platinum Program Members access to technical support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In some circumstances (for example peak times) the Platinum Program Member may be asked to leave a message through a voicemail system. If a message is left with ShippingWonder’s telephone answering service, a technical support officer will return the call as a matter of priority.
