Service Level Agreement

Plain Language Summary

This agreement defines service levels for Eira OS ongoing monitoring and managed service Memberships. Key points: we respond to incidents based on priority level, with critical issues addressed first. We do not guarantee uptime because we do not control your hardware. If we miss a response time, you get a service credit, not damages. Scheduled maintenance happens during announced windows. This agreement covers Eira OS software and services only, not your hardware, network, MSP, or third-party providers.

Effective Date: August 9, 2026 | All times are Mountain Time (Arizona, no DST observance).

1. Scope and Applicability

This Service Level Agreement ("SLA" or "Agreement") applies to Eira OS ongoing monitoring Memberships and managed service Memberships (collectively, "Managed Services"). This SLA does not apply to one-time audit Memberships, project-based consulting, or Deliverables-only Memberships. For those Memberships, support is provided as described in the applicable statement of work.

This SLA is incorporated by reference into and forms part of the Eira OS Terms of Service. In the event of a conflict between this SLA and the Terms of Service, the Terms of Service control. This SLA applies to Memberships only. Consumer products, when available, are governed by separate terms.

2. Definitions

3. Support Hours and Channels

Eira OS provides support during Business Hours for all priority levels. Critical Incidents (Priority 1) receive after-hours support as described below.

Support Tier Hours Channels
Standard Support Business Hours (6 AM - 6 PM MST, Mon-Fri) Phone, Email (per Membership)
Critical After-Hours 24/7 for Priority 1 only Phone only (per Membership)
Maintenance Window Sundays 2:00 AM - 6:00 AM MST Scheduled, announced 72 hours in advance

The Member must report Incidents through the Authorized Channel designated in the Membership. Incidents reported to individual Eira OS personnel, social media, voicemail outside Business Hours (for non-Priority 1), or any channel other than the Authorized Channel are not recognized for SLA timing purposes.

4. Incident Priority Levels

The Member assigns a priority level when reporting an Incident. Eira OS may reclassify the priority based on investigation. Priority levels are:

Priority Definition Examples
Priority 1 - Critical Software is non-functional or a security vulnerability is actively exploitable. No workaround available. Member operations are significantly impacted. Software will not start, monitoring has stopped, active data exposure
Priority 2 - High Software is functional but a core feature is degraded. A workaround may be available. Member operations are moderately impacted. Analysis pipeline failing, specific compliance framework not loading, performance severely degraded
Priority 3 - Standard Software is functional with minor issues. No significant operational impact. Workaround available or issue is cosmetic. UI display issues, non-critical report formatting, minor warning messages
Priority 4 - Enhancement Request for new functionality, configuration changes, or information. Not an Incident. Feature requests, how-to questions, documentation requests

5. Response Time Commitments

Eira OS commits to the following Response Times based on priority level and support tier:

Priority Business Hours Response After-Hours Response Target Resolution
Priority 1 - Critical 1 hour 2 hours (phone only) 4 hours (best effort)
Priority 2 - High 2 hours Next Business Day 1 Business Day (best effort)
Priority 3 - Standard 4 hours Next Business Day 3 Business Days (best effort)
Priority 4 - Enhancement 1 Business Day N/A Per Membership

Response Times are measured from the time the Member reports the Incident through an Authorized Channel during the applicable support tier. After-hours Response Times for Priority 1 Incidents are measured from the initial phone report. After-hours reports for Priority 2-4 are not acknowledged until the next Business Day.

Resolution Times are best-effort targets, not guarantees. Eira OS will use reasonable efforts to meet Resolution Times but does not warrant resolution within any specific timeframe. Factors outside Eira OS's control (see Section 9, Exclusions) may affect resolution.

6. Service Credits

If Eira OS fails to meet a Response Time commitment for a properly reported Incident, the Member is entitled to Service Credits calculated as follows:

Missed Response Time Service Credit
Up to 2x the committed Response Time 5% of monthly fees
2x to 4x the committed Response Time 10% of monthly fees
4x to 8x the committed Response Time 20% of monthly fees
More than 8x the committed Response Time 50% of monthly fees

Service Credits are the Member's sole and exclusive remedy for SLA failures. Service Credits apply to future fees only and are not refundable as cash. Maximum Service Credits in any calendar month shall not exceed 50% of the monthly fees for that month. To claim a Service Credit, the Member must request it in writing within thirty (30) days of the missed Response Time, identifying the Incident and the missed commitment. Service Credits not requested within 30 days are forfeited.

Service Credits do not apply to Incidents that fall under the Exclusions in Section 9, Incidents reported through unauthorized channels, or Incidents caused by factors outside Eira OS's control.

7. Service Availability

Important: No Uptime Guarantee

Eira OS does not guarantee any specific uptime percentage. Eira OS Software is deployed on infrastructure controlled by the Member or by Eira OS as specified in the Membership. Because Eira OS does not control the Member's hardware, network, power, or internet connectivity, Eira OS cannot guarantee continuous availability.

For Managed Services where Eira OS controls the hosting infrastructure, Eira OS targets 99.5% availability during each calendar month, excluding scheduled maintenance windows and excluded events under Section 9. This is a target, not a guarantee. Service Credits for availability failures, if applicable, are calculated under Section 6 based on the duration of unplanned downtime exceeding the 99.5% target.

For deployments on Member-controlled infrastructure, availability is the Member's responsibility. Eira OS will assist with incidents but is not responsible for downtime caused by Member infrastructure, Member MSP, network outages, power failures, or other factors outside Eira OS's control.

Eira OS monitors the health of its Software and will proactively notify the Member of detected issues during Business Hours. After-hours monitoring is limited to Priority 1 alerts as defined in the Membership.

8. Scheduled Maintenance

Eira OS performs scheduled maintenance during the maintenance window (Sundays 2:00 AM - 6:00 AM MST). Maintenance may include Software updates, security patches, configuration changes, and infrastructure adjustments.

  1. Notice: Eira OS will provide at least seventy-two (72) hours notice before scheduled maintenance that may affect Service availability;
  2. Emergency Maintenance: Eira OS may perform emergency maintenance without 72 hours notice if required to address a security vulnerability or prevent data loss. Eira OS will notify the Member as soon as practicable;
  3. Duration: Maintenance is expected to take less than the maintenance window. If maintenance is expected to extend beyond the window, Eira OS will provide extended notice;
  4. No Credits: Scheduled maintenance within the announced window does not count against availability targets and does not generate Service Credits;
  5. Member Maintenance: If the Member needs to perform maintenance on its own infrastructure that affects Eira OS Software, the Member must notify Eira OS at least 48 hours in advance so that Eira OS can coordinate graceful shutdown or backup.

9. Exclusions from SLA

The Following Are Not Covered by This SLA

Eira OS is not responsible for and this SLA does not apply to Incidents caused by or related to the following. No Service Credits are issued for these exclusions.

10. Member Responsibilities for SLA

To receive SLA benefits, the Member must:

  1. Report Incidents through the Authorized Channel designated in the Membership;
  2. Provide accurate and sufficient information about the Incident, including priority level, affected systems, and impact description;
  3. Be available to respond to Eira OS's questions and provide access or information needed for investigation;
  4. Maintain hardware, operating system, and network configuration per the specifications in the Membership;
  5. Ensure that MSPs and third-party technology providers comply with the Acceptable Use Policy, particularly the MSP Restrictions in Section 4;
  6. Not modify, patch, or configure Eira OS Software or its host hardware without Eira OS's written authorization;
  7. Provide Eira OS with timely access to systems, logs, and personnel needed to diagnose and resolve Incidents;
  8. Claim Service Credits in writing within 30 days of the missed commitment.

If the Member's failure to meet these responsibilities contributes to an Incident or delays resolution, Eira OS's SLA commitments are adjusted accordingly. If the Member is unresponsive for more than four (4) Business Hours after Eira OS requests information needed to proceed, the Incident is paused and the Response Time clock is stopped until the Member responds.

11. Escalation

If the Member is not satisfied with the handling of an Incident, the Member may escalate as follows:

  1. Level 1: The assigned Eira OS support contact (first point of contact for all Incidents);
  2. Level 2: Eira OS technical lead (if the Incident is not resolved within the target Resolution Time, or if the Member disagrees with the priority classification);
  3. Level 3: Avondale.AI, Founder & CTO (if the Incident remains unresolved after Level 2 escalation, or for any matter the Member considers critical to the business relationship).

Escalation requests should be made through the Authorized Channel. Eira OS will acknowledge escalation requests within one (1) Business Day and provide a status update within two (2) Business Days. Escalation does not change the Service Credit calculation, which is based on the original Response Time commitment.

12. Physical Equipment and On-Site Repairs

The Member Is Responsible for Physical Damage to Eira OS Equipment

If Eira OS Software is deployed on hardware owned or controlled by Eira OS and located at the Member's premises, the Member is responsible for maintaining a safe, appropriate environment for that equipment and is financially responsible for any physical damage caused by the Member, its personnel, its MSP, contractors, visitors, or environmental factors under the Member's control.

Environmental Requirements

The Member must provide and maintain an appropriate operating environment for Eira OS equipment, including:

Member Liability for Physical Damage

The Member is financially responsible for all costs associated with physical damage to Eira OS equipment caused by:

  1. Member or Personnel Actions: Bumping, dropping, pushing, mishandling, or otherwise physically disturbing Eira OS equipment, including rack bumps, cable pulls, and accidental contact;
  2. MSP or Contractor Actions: Any physical interaction with Eira OS equipment by the Member's MSP, IT staff, electricians, HVAC technicians, cleaners, movers, or other contractors that results in damage. The Member is responsible for ensuring its contractors do not touch, move, or disturb Eira OS equipment except as permitted in the Acceptable Use Policy;
  3. Environmental Factors Under Member Control: Flooding, fire, power surge, humidity damage, temperature damage, dust, debris, or other environmental conditions at the Member's facility, except where caused by Eira OS equipment itself;
  4. Theft or Vandalism: Stolen, lost, or vandalized Eira OS equipment, regardless of who committed the theft or vandalism;
  5. Acts of God at Member Facility: Earthquake, flood, lightning strike, or other natural events at the Member's facility that damage Eira OS equipment.

On-Site Repair Costs

If Eira OS equipment is physically damaged, Eira OS will assess the damage and determine whether on-site repair, on-site replacement, or return-to-depot is required. All costs associated with Member-caused physical damage are billed to the Member as follows:

The Member will be invoiced for all physical damage repair costs within thirty (30) days of completion of repairs. Disputed charges must be raised in writing within fifteen (15) days of the invoice date. Undisputed charges are due per the payment terms in the Membership.

Damage Notification

The Member must notify Eira OS within twenty-four (24) hours of discovering or suspecting any physical damage to Eira OS equipment. Failure to notify Eira OS within 24 hours may result in additional damage that the Member is also responsible for. The Member shall not attempt to repair, disassemble, move, or modify damaged Eira OS equipment. The Member shall leave the equipment in place and await Eira OS's instructions.

Insurance

The Member must maintain property insurance covering Eira OS equipment located at the Member's premises, including coverage for fire, water damage, theft, vandalism, and natural events, in an amount sufficient to cover the replacement value of all Eira OS equipment on-site. Upon Eira OS's request, the Member will provide a certificate of insurance naming Eira OS as a covered party or loss payee. If the Member cannot maintain such insurance, the Member remains personally responsible for all replacement costs. Eira OS is not responsible for insuring equipment located at the Member's premises.

Eira OS Responsibility

Eira OS is responsible for physical damage to its own equipment only when the damage is caused by Eira OS personnel, Eira OS equipment failure (e.g., internal component failure under normal operation), or defects in the equipment itself. In such cases, Eira OS will repair or replace the equipment at no cost to the Member. Eira OS is not responsible for damage caused by the Member, Member personnel, Member's MSP, contractors, environmental factors at the Member's facility, or events outside Eira OS's control.

13. Changes to This Agreement

Eira OS may update this SLA from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when the current version was posted. Changes apply to new Memberships entered into after the effective date and to existing Managed Services Memberships after thirty (30) days notice. Memberships already in progress are governed by the SLA in effect at the time the Membership was initiated, unless the Membership expressly provides otherwise.

14. Execution

This Service Level Agreement may be executed electronically or in writing. Execution may be by: (a) signing an Membership that references this SLA, (b) written acknowledgment of this SLA, or (c) making payment for Managed Services, which constitutes acceptance of this SLA as part of the Terms of Service.
