    Response Time

    Online support resources are available via the Hub.

    1 Hour Response Time is measured from when Customer first reports a Service failure, degradation, problem or issue (an “Issue”) and requests Support Services , until Harmonic takes the first action or responds to Customer’s Support request on the Issue. 
  3. Support Process.
a. Harmonic’s obligation to provide Support Services under this Support Agreement exclude support services for any Excluded Issues, as defined in the Agreement.
       
b. Customer will cooperate with Harmonic and provide reasonably detailed information requested by Harmonic for each Issue submitted in order to facilitate the provision of Support Services.
 
     4. Customer Contact Persons.

Customer will appoint up to two (2) designated support contact persons for purposes of contacting Harmonic’s support team regarding support issues, including reporting technical support issues at the Hub.

 

Part B.   SERVICE AVAILABILITY/SLA.

Harmonic will use commercially reasonable efforts to make VOS.io  available to Customer with the applicable Monthly Uptime Percentage described below. In the event the calculated Service Availability for the specified VOS.io feature or function does not meet the applicable targeted availability, Customer will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described in Section C below. 

 

  1. Service Availability for Linear Channel and Playout Services.

           a. Harmonic targets Service Availability for VOS.io at 99.9 %.


           b. Service Availability is calculated as follows:

(Maximum Available Minutes - Downtime Minutes) ÷ (Maximum Available Minutes)
 
          "Maximum Available Minutes” means the total number of minutes in a calendar month VOS.io should be available under the Plan.
 
          “Downtime Minutes” means the total number of minutes in which VOS.io was not available for the Customer.

 

Part C.   SERVICE CREDITS.
If Harmonic fails to meet the applicable Service Availability commitments set forth above in any calendar month during the Subscription Term, Harmonic will issue a credit to Customer in accordance with the process set forth below. Service Credits provided in accordance with this clause shall be Harmonic’s sole liability, and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, for Harmonic’s failure to meet the applicable Service Availability commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, any refund by the Marketplace shall make the following Service Credits inapplicable.
 
  1. Service Credits for VOS.io.

    a. Credits will be calculated based on the total value of the applicable Service usage by Customer during the month in which credits are earned as the result of a Service Availability issue in that month. 
     

     

    Percentage of Service Availability (per calendar month)

  2. Other Service Credit Terms.
           a. Breach or default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer will not be eligible to receive any Service Credits if Customer is past due or in default with respect to any payment to Harmonic, the Marketplace (as it relates to this Agreement or any other Customer agreement with the Marketplace) or is in material breach of the Agreement.
 
            b. Service Credit Exclusions Due to Permitted Downtime. Customer will not receive Service Credits for any Permitted Downtime. “Permitted Downtime” means Downtime that is: (a) resolved in less than five seconds; (b) due to scheduled maintenance, upgrades or modifications relating to the Service, where Customer has received reasonable prior notice from Harmonic; (c) caused by or resulting from an Excluded Issue; (d) due to Customer’s breach of its obligations under the Agreement; (e) required by law or regulation as determined by Harmonic in its reasonable discretion; or (f) intentionally caused by Harmonic in its reasonable discretion as being necessary to protect the Service and/or Service customers from unauthorized access to the Service or a hacking or other cyber-attack on the Service.
