Capitalized terms used throughout this Section but undefined elsewhere shall have their respect meanings under CCPA. In performing the Services, Solver operates as Customer’s service provider under the CCPA. As Customer’s service provider, Solver processes certain personal information, in accordance with Customer’s instructions, to fulfill a legitimate business purpose for Customer. The business purpose(s) for which Customer has retained Solver for include any one or more of the following activities: maintaining or servicing Solver accounts, providing customer service in connection with the Service, processing or fulfilling orders and transaction, providing training and consulting services, providing cloud and SaaS services, or providing similar services on Customer’s behalf. The parties acknowledge that Solver has not and will not receive any monetary or other valuable consideration in exchange for its receipt of personal information, and that any consideration paid by Customer to Solver under the Agreement relates only to Solver’s provision of the Services. Solver shall not (a) sell or share (as such terms are defined under the CCPA) personal information; (b) retain, use, or disclose personal information for any purpose other than for the specific purpose of performing the Services, including retaining, using, or disclosing personal information for a commercial purpose other than providing the Services; (c) retain, use, or disclose personal information outside of the direct business relationship between Customer and Solver; or (d) combine the personal information with any other personal information, except as permitted under the CCPA. The CCPA provides California Consumers (“Consumers”) the right to request that Solver delete the Consumer’s personal information under certain conditions. When Solver receives a request to delete personal information from a Consumer, Solver will verify the identity of the Consumer and then, as applicable, direct its service providers to delete the Consumer’s personal information approved for deletion. Accordingly, in the event that Customer receives a verifiable Consumer request to delete personal information held by Solver (as determined in Customer’s sole discretion), Solver shall fulfill such request without delay. Solver shall not respond to any other request made in any other manner by Customer so as to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and security of the personal information it processes.

Service Availability. During the Subscription Term, Solver shall maintain a Service Availability Percentage at or above 99% for a given calendar month (“Uptime Target”). Service Availability means the ability to login and make beneficial use of the Services in accordance with the documentation. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for Solver’s failure to meet the Uptime Target in a month (each an “Availability Failure”) is as follows: (a) for the second month of an Availability Failure in a rolling six (6) month period, Customer will be eligible for a credit of five percent (5%) of Customer’s monthly fees for the applicable month (calculated based on the monthly prorated amount for the then-applicable annual term); and (b) for the third or more months of an Availability Failure in a rolling six month period, Customer will be eligible for a credit of ten percent (10%) of Customer’s monthly fees for the applicable month (calculated based on the monthly prorated amount for the then-applicable annual term). Customer may claim a credit by providing notice of the Availability Failure to Solver and requesting the credit in writing within fourteen (14) days after the Availability Failure occurs. Solver shall apply credited amounts only to future fees due, if any, under the applicable service plan upon Solver’s verification of the Availability Failure and Customer’s eligibility for a credit.

The Service Availability Percentage is calculated monthly as follows: Service Availability Percentage = (Actual Service Availability / Planned Service Availability) * 100

Actual Service Availability means total minutes of Planned Service Availability in a calendar month minus minutes of unavailability for any reason other than Permitted Outages.

Planned Service Availability means total minutes in a calendar month minus minutes of Permitted Outages.

Permitted Outages means unavailability due to: (1) scheduled maintenance during maintenance hours (not to exceed 10 hours per week, on weekends beginning Fridays in the local Azure region or at another time with at least seven (2) days prior notice from Solver) (“Scheduled Maintenance”); (2) emergency maintenance due to factors outside of Solver’s control that could not have been reasonably anticipated by Solver and that reasonably require prompt action to protect the integrity and security of User Content, Confidential Information or the Services; and (3) due to a general failure of Internet connectivity outside of Solver’s reasonable control.
