- “Business Hours” at Maglr means from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. CET/CEST on Business Days.
- “Downtime” means the total number of minutes, outside Scheduled and Regular Maintenance periods, that the customer cannot access the SaaS Service. The calculation of Downtime excludes time that the customer is unable to access the SaaS Service due to any of the following:

Maglr may schedule Emergency Maintenance if it is deemed necessary to avoid any immediate threat to the environment or customer sites. Maintenance Notifications will be sent to the customer’s support contact as defined by the customer.
- “Maintenance Notifications” means communication from Maglr, via an email to the customer’s designated support contact, regarding the date and time that Maglr intends to make the SaaS Service un-available. The customer understands and agrees that there may be instances where Maglr needs to interrupt the SaaS Service without notice in order to protect the integrity of the SaaS Service due to security issues, virus attacks, spam issues or other unforeseen circumstances.
- “Maintenance Time” means the time period during which the SaaS Service may not be available each month so that Maglr can perform routine maintenance as needed to maximize performance.
- “Regular Maintenance” means maintenance performed as Maglr strives to ensure the highest level of availability for all customer sites. To do so, regular maintenance may require Maglr to take systems offline for brief periods of time in order to implement Updates, Releases or changes. Maglr reserves the right to carry out Regular Maintenance once per week outside of Business Hours.
- “Response Time” means the time period until Maglr’s confirmation of the reported defect, from receipt of the information required from the customer for Maglr’s support team to begin resolution and open a support ticket in Maglr’s systems.

- “Recovery Time Objective” or “RTO” means the duration of time within which the SaaS Service must be restored once it becomes un-Available.
- “Scheduled Downtime" is downtime for Scheduled Maintenance.
- “Scheduled Maintenance” shall be understood here to mean maintenance which occurs when Maglr detects an issue in the platform environment that requires action to avoid unscheduled maintenance in the future. Maglr reserves the right to schedule extended maintenance of the platform impacting on the SaaS Service with a minimum of 5 Business Days’ notice provided to the customer unless certain circumstances preclude Maglr from doing so, such as an external vendor issuing a change control to Maglr with less than 5 Business Days’ notice. All Scheduled Maintenance will take place outside of Business Hours.
- “Service Level Credit” means a credit applied to the customer’s invoice in the invoice period following successful confirmation by Maglr of affected SaaS Service metrics.
- “Total Monthly Minutes” means the number of days in the month multiplied by 1,440 minutes per day.

4. Support Levels
4.1 Term of the SLA
This SLA shall apply to all license variants (Business, Pro, Enterprise) of the Maglr SaaS Service for the duration of the contract.
4.2 SaaS Service Availability
To ensure that customers have access to their data when they need it, Maglr uses several levels of protection (hosting at Amazon Web Services) to provide customers with service availability (uptime) of 99,9%. A detailed service level description is specified in the SaaS Service Description.
For all license plans: Service Availability - 99.9%
Maglr uses a third party to measure whether the SaaS Service is Available (status.maglr.com). Availability is calculated based on the following formula:
- A = (T - M - D) / (T - M) x 100%
- A = Availability
- T = Total Monthly Minutes
- M = Scheduled Downtime
- D = Downtime
Scheduled and Regular Maintenance do not constitute un-Availability and are not included in the Availability calculation.
4.3 Recovery
Maglr provides the following recovery attributes for all license versions:
- Recovery Time Objective (RTO) - 6 hours
- Recovery Point Objective (RPO) - 12 hour
4.4 Service Level Credits
If Maglr cannot meet the Availability specified in this SLA for reasons for which it is responsible, Maglr shall provide customers with a 100% credit note (Service Level Credit) for every full hour o fun-Availability, provided that the customer complies with the requirements set out in Section 4.5. The credit is calculated from the time of outage until the SaaS Service is Available again. Maglr will issue a credit equal to 100% of the SaaS Service costs per hour. Service Level Credits shall be offset against any claim for loss or damage caused by the customer.
4.5 Remedy and Procedure
The customer’s remedy and the procedure for claiming the Service Level Credits under Section 4.4. shall apply if (1) Maglr fails to meet the agreed availability figures referred to above and (2) the customer cumulatively complies with the following requirements:
