This Agreement represents a Service Level Agreement (“SLA” or “Agreement”) for Consent Kit as a Service Provider to all its customers. This agreement is contingent upon each party knowing and fulfilling their responsibilities and generating an environment conducive to the achievement and maintenance of targeted service levels.

1.2 Customer Requirements

Customer responsibilities and/or requirements in support of this Agreement include: submitting a request through the available channels and providing a detailed description of the assistance requested.

To better aid Consent Kit in diagnosing and addressing a customer’s concern, a clearly written description of the problem(s) should include:

1.4 Notification of System Availability and Updates

Service Availability and Maintenance

Our aim is to carry out maintenance on the servers as transparently to the user as possible. Standard maintenance occurs over the weekend during the early hours of morning (GMT). When maintenance will require interruption of service we will provide 1 weeks notice to all customers.

In the event of emergency maintenance, we will provide as much notice as possible, but cannot guarantee uninterrupted service.

Code is continuously tested and deployed on a daily basis.
