Service Level Agreement

These terms for the Service Level Agreement are expressly incorporated into the Coeo Solution’s (COEO) Master Services Agreement entered into by Coeo and Customer (the “Agreement”).  These terms outline the specific service levels (“SLAs”), which Coeo has agreed to provide to Customer, for SIP Trunking & Microsoft Teams Direct Routing Services (collectively “SLA Services”) pursuant to the terms set forth herein. 

1.0 Terms of the SLAs.

1.1       Service Availability.  Coeo agrees to provide customer Service Availability of 100% for SLA Services that are provisioned within the continental United States and in Hawaii. For purposes of this Attachment, “Service Availability” means the percentage of total minutes during a calendar month that the network equipment is available to the customer. Under no circumstances will these SLAs apply to any professional services or third party services completed by Coeo.

2.0 SLA Credits      

2.1      SLA failures will be deemed to begin the earliest of: (i) when Customer contacts Coeo to open a trouble ticket in connection with the SLA impacting event; (ii) when Coeo first becomes aware of the SLA failure and opens a trouble ticket for the problem; or (iii) after the opening of a trouble ticket, the time of actual SLA failure as determined by records or investigation made pursuant to the trouble ticket.

2.2      For any month in which any SLA Service does not meet the SLA metric, Coeo will assess an SLA credit equal to a percentage of the monthly invoice based on Duration of Service Outage for the month the SLA Service(s) are impacted, and will provide such SLA credits on the invoice issued immediately following the monthly billing cycle in which the SLA credit was requested.  Under no circumstances will SLA credits in any given monthly billing cycle exceed the Monthly Recurring Charge for the SLA Services purchased from Coeo during that monthly billing cycle.
