Section 5: Incident Management

A. Incident Severity

Client and Qtrac acknowledge and agree that there may be defects in the Qtrac Services or defects in features within the Qtrac Software that directly impact its performance and prevent it from performing as accepted (“each an Error”). Errors may include operation and functionality defects, security defects, viruses and bugs. When Qtrac initially detects, or when Client initially reports to Qtrac, an Error, (“Initial Notice”) the Error will be classified in accordance with the severity levels set forth in Table A1 below (each a “Severity Level”). Qtrac may modify the classification after the Initial Response if appropriate.
Table A1 - Severity Level Guidelines
Severity Level Definition
Severity 1
Urgent 		A critical problem in which the Qtrac services (i) for all Customer’s end users and for the Customer’s team members are down, inoperable, inaccessible, or unavailable, (ii) otherwise materially cease operation, or (iii) Perform or fail to perform so as to prevent useful work from being done.
Severity 2
High 		A critical problem in which the Qtrac services (i) for the Customer’s team members, at one or more locations are down, inoperable, inaccessible, or unavailable, (ii) otherwise materially cease operation, or (iii) Perform or fail to perform so as to prevent useful work from being done.
Severity 3
Normal 		A problem in which the Qtrac Services and the hosting environment (i) are severely limited or major functions are performing improperly, and the situation is significantly impacting certain portions of end-user operations or productivity, or (ii) have been interrupted but recovered, and there is high risk of recurrence.
Severity 4
Low 		A minor or cosmetic problem with the Qtrac Services that (i) is an irritant, affects non-essential functions, or has minimal operations impact, (ii) is localized or has isolated impact, (iii) is a nuisance, (iv) results in visual errors, or (v) is otherwise not Severity 1 or Severity 2, but represents a failure of Qtrac Services to conform to specifications.

B. Incident Response

If Initial Notice occurs during Business Hours, Qtrac will provide Client with Qtrac First Reply, Periodic Updates, and Final Resolutions within the timeframes provided in Table B1 below. If Initial Notice occurs outside Business Hours, the times will be calculated starting at 6:00am the next business day.

Provided that Qtrac does not meet its uptime warranty, Qtrac will credit Client at a rate of ten percent (10%) of the Customer’s monthly SaaS billing per Client location, for every incremental one percent (1%) of Downtime, up to but not to exceed, one hundred percent (100%) of the monthly SaaS billing of the affected location(s).
Downtime calculation excludes the following:
a. Scheduled maintenance.
b. Downtime caused by Client’s failure to meet Client Responsibilities as set forth in Section 7 hereinabove or a Force Majeure.

Information supporting each claim of Downtime, including date, time, and a description of the incident and affected service, all of which must fall within the calendar month for which the Client is submitting a claim.
Client's failure to submit a claim for Downtime in accordance with the foregoing procedure shall result in Client's waiver of any such claim, or any alleged damages arising therefrom.
