This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") describes the availability commitment and support targets for SimpleAMS (https://simpleams.co.uk), operated by Simple Works LTD. It forms part of the Terms of Service and applies to customers on a current paid subscription that is not past due.
1. Availability commitment
Simple Works LTD targets a Monthly Uptime of 99.9% for the core Service (the ability to sign in and use a workspace), measured per calendar month.
Monthly Uptime % = (total minutes in the month - Downtime minutes) / total minutes in the month x 100.
"Downtime" means sustained unavailability of the core Service confirmed by our monitoring, excluding the situations in section 3.
2. Scheduled maintenance
We may perform maintenance that briefly affects availability. We aim to schedule it outside typical business hours and to give advance notice for planned work expected to cause downtime. Scheduled and emergency maintenance is excluded from Downtime.
3. Exclusions
Downtime does not include unavailability caused by: scheduled or emergency maintenance; factors outside our reasonable control (force majeure, internet or upstream provider failures); the customer's own systems, network, configuration or breach of the Terms; suspension for non-payment or policy violation; or beta/optional features and third-party integrations the customer enables.
4. Support targets
| Severity | Description | Target response |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Critical | Service down or a core function unusable for all workspace users | Within 6 business hours |
| 2 - Major | A key feature is significantly impaired with no reasonable workaround | Within 1 business day |
| 3 - Minor | Limited or cosmetic issue, question, or a workaround exists | Within 3 business days |
Response times are targets, not guarantees, and are measured during our business hours. Priority support is available on the Business plan; other paid plans receive email support.
5. Service credits
If the Monthly Uptime falls below the commitment, the customer may request a service credit applied to a future invoice:
| Monthly Uptime | Service credit |
|---|---|
| 99.0% to below 99.9% | 5% of that month's fee |
| 95.0% to below 99.0% | 10% of that month's fee |
| Below 95.0% | 25% of that month's fee |
Service credits are the customer's sole and exclusive remedy for availability shortfalls. Total credits in any month will not exceed that month's subscription fee, and credits have no cash value.
6. Claiming a credit
To claim, email privacy@simpleams.co.uk within 30 days of the end of the affected month, including the dates/times and a description of the impact. Approved credits are applied to a future invoice. Credits are not available while the account is past due or in breach of the Terms.
7. Changes
We may update this SLA; material changes will be notified and apply from the next billing period.
