Introduction
TraineryHCM™ will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the TraineryHCM platform (the “Covered Service”) is operational and available at least 99 percent of the time in any calendar month (the “TraineryHCM SLA”).
If TraineryHCM™ does not meet this uptime commitment in a given calendar month, and the Customer complies with its obligations under this Service Level Agreement and the applicable Services Agreement, the Customer will be eligible to receive the Service Credits described below.
This SLA states the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any failure by TraineryHCM™ to meet the stated uptime commitment.
