Overview
This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") is a binding agreement between Flottix, Inc. ("Flottix," "we," "us," or "our") and the Customer ("you" or "your") that defines the level of service you can expect from the Flottix IT asset management platform (the "Service").
This SLA applies to all paid subscription plans. Free trial accounts are not covered by this SLA. This SLA is incorporated into and made part of the Terms of Service.
We are committed to providing a reliable, high-performance service. This SLA outlines our commitments regarding uptime, support responsiveness, and compensation for any service disruptions.
Definitions
- "Downtime"
- Any period during which the Service is unavailable or materially degraded, as determined by our monitoring systems. Downtime is measured in minutes.
- "Monthly Uptime Percentage"
- The total number of minutes in a calendar month minus the total minutes of Downtime, divided by the total number of minutes in the calendar month, expressed as a percentage.
- "Service Credit"
- A credit applied to your account as compensation for Downtime, calculated as a percentage of your monthly subscription fee.
- "Scheduled Maintenance"
- Planned maintenance periods that are communicated in advance and do not count toward Downtime calculations.
- "Incident"
- Any event that causes or may cause an interruption to or degradation of the Service.
- "Response Time"
- The time between when a support ticket is submitted and when a member of our support team provides an initial response.
- "Resolution Time"
- The time between when an Incident is reported and when the Service is restored to normal operation or a workaround is provided.
Service Availability
Flottix commits to the following uptime guarantee:
| Plan | Monthly Uptime Commitment | Maximum Downtime per Month |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 99.5% | ~3.6 hours |
| Professional | 99.9% | ~43 minutes |
| Enterprise | 99.95% | ~22 minutes |
The Service is considered "available" when the primary application functions (login, asset management, reporting) are operational and accessible via the web interface.
Availability Measurement
We measure availability using a combination of:
- External uptime monitoring services performing health checks every 60 seconds
- Internal application performance monitoring
- Customer-reported incidents
Scheduled Maintenance
Maintenance Windows
We perform scheduled maintenance during the following windows to minimize disruption:
- Standard Maintenance: Sundays, 2:00 AM - 6:00 AM UTC
- Emergency Maintenance: As needed, with maximum possible advance notice
Notification
We will notify customers of scheduled maintenance:
- Standard Maintenance: At least 72 hours in advance via email and in-app notification
- Emergency Maintenance: As soon as possible, typically within 1 hour
Maintenance Duration
Most scheduled maintenance is performed with zero or minimal downtime using rolling deployments. When downtime is required:
- Standard maintenance typically lasts less than 30 minutes
- Major updates may require up to 2 hours
- We will communicate expected duration in advance
