Service Level Agreement
Onbrand Platform Uptime SLA
This Service Level Agreement (this “SLA”) forms part of the Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Onbrand Software, Inc. (“Onbrand”) and the customer (“Customer”). This SLA applies to the Onbrand products specified in an applicable Order Form—Onbrand PLM, Onbrand AI Design, and the Onbrand REST API—during the applicable Subscription Term.
1. Definitions
All capitalized terms not defined in this SLA have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.
Availability Metrics
The following metrics are used to calculate service availability under this SLA:
Scheduled Availability - The total time (in minutes) during which the applicable service is generally accessible and available to permitted users.
Scheduled Maintenance Windows - Periods of planned maintenance, upgrades, or operational changes communicated in advance. Scheduled Maintenance does not count as Unscheduled Downtime.
Unscheduled Downtime - The total time (in minutes) during which a service is unavailable to permitted users, excluding SLA Exclusions.
Actual Availability - Scheduled Availability minus Unscheduled Downtime.

Coverage under this SLA depends on the release maturity of a product or feature:
GA (General Availability): Fully released and covered by this SLA
Beta: Limited release; not covered by this SLA
Alpha: Early release; not covered by this SLA
SLA Scope
The scope defines how availability is measured:
Global: SLA breach occurs if more than 1% of customers globally are affected
Regional: SLA breach occurs if more than 1% of customers in a region are affected
Account: SLA applies per customer account
2. Uptime Commitment
