  1. CUSTOMER SUCCESS

Operational Assistance. ShipHawk’s Customer Success staff provides system expertise to support the Customer’s ongoing use of ShipHawk Platform services.

Remote Training. ShipHawk’s Customer Success staff provides training on ShipHawk Platform functionality.  All training is conducted remotely and covers use of Platform only.

Technical Assistance. ShipHawk’s Customer Success staff provides technical assistance to support the administration of the ShipHawk Platform.

Language of Success. Unless specific arrangements are made in writing in advance, all Customer Success will be provided by ShipHawk in English.

Scope of Support. ShipHawk is not obligated to provide technical assistance if (a) the Platform has not been used in a manner consistent with its documentation; (b) a non-ShipHawk system on which Platform is installed is not functioning properly or doesn’t meet ShipHawk’s published specifications; (c) Platform has been altered or modified by any party other than ShipHawk; (d) ShipHawk is not able, after commercially reasonable efforts, to replicate any error or problem in the Platform within the ShipHawk laboratory environment.  ShipHawk does not provide support for third-party software or hardware such as, but not limited to, CPUs, servers, browser software, operating systems, application servers, database software, cloud services, or third-party plug-ins required for operational use of the software.  ShipHawk will assist Licensee as necessary to identify what third party software, licenses, hardware and services are required, but the sole responsibility for obtaining such third-party software, licenses, hardware and services shall be with Licensee.

  1. ISSUE REPORTING

Issue Severity and Prioritization. The Customer should determine the severity of a support issue. ShipHawk may reclassify the priority level upward or downward and modify the order, classifications and method of responding to and/or addressing such issues, if any, at any time based on the following classifications:

  • S1 – Urgent: Complete loss of application functionality causing a critical impact on business operations: inability to rate, ship, print labels, generate quotes, or print end of day manifests. For warehouse management functionality, complete loss of receiving, stocking, picking, packing or shipping ability.
  • S2 – High: Platform is operative but performance is seriously degraded or restricted with a significant impact on business operation.
  • S3 – Medium: Platform is usable but non-critical functionality or system components are affected while most operation is unaffected.
  • S4 – Low: Includes questions, requests for information, documentation inquiries, or other non-critical system related issues. Operations are not affected.

Responses.  During normal business hours between 8:30 am – 5:00 pm PST, Monday – Friday (excluding United States public holidays), ShipHawk will respond to S1 issues within 2 hours, S2 issues within 4 business hours, S3 and S4 issues within 48 hours, during designated support hours.  If support requests are received outside of normal business hours, ShipHawk will respond to S1 issues within 2 hours, S2 issues within 4 business hours, and S3-S4 issues within 48 hours, in each case after the start of the next business day. For urgent requests, ShipHawk Customer Success is available via email at urgent@shiphawk.com. The ShipHawk response consists of either (i) ShipHawk remediation of the support issue or (ii) confirmation that ShipHawk has received the support issue reported and indication of active remediation efforts.

Exhibit C

ShipHawk API Service Level Agreement (SLA)

At ShipHawk, we recognize that dependencies on third party integrations may seem risky when your site and customer experience are at stake. We know that the availability of our service is of utmost importance to your ongoing success and entrusting ShipHawk API as the backbone for your shipping solution is something that we take seriously. That’s why we have built this comprehensive ShipHawk API Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) to cover the various components that keep your services with ShipHawk up and running.

The SLA is an agreement between Licensee (“you” or “your”) and ShipHawk (“we,” “us” or “our”) that defines the terms of our responsibility under this SLA and the guarantees if our responsibilities are not met. We want our clients to feel at ease with their decision to work with ShipHawk and knowing that ShipHawk takes your service uptime as seriously as you do.

Service Level Agreement (“SLA”). ShipHawk shall use all reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that ShipHawk API is operating and available to Licensee 99.5% of the time in any calendar month, excluding Scheduled Downtime. In the event that a Client experiences any of the service performance issues defined below due to ShipHawk’s failure to provide Service, Client will be eligible to receive the Service Credits described below. Should a customer opt for an Enterprise Plan, Enterprise SLA’s are to be defined in the Order Form, superseding corresponding standard SLA’s in the terms and conditions.

Definitions.  The following definitions shall apply to the ShipHawk API SLA.

  • “Client” means Licensee Inc. (Delaware) and its subsidiaries.
  • “Customer” means any individual or business that may interact with ShipHawk API by using a service provided by the Client.
  • “Downtime” means, for a domain, if average latency is greater than 15 seconds. Downtime is measured based on server side monitoring.
  • “Downtime period” means, for a domain, a period of ten consecutive minutes of Downtime. Intermittent Downtime for a period less than ten minutes will not be counted towards Downtime periods except as specified under Short Downtime periods.
  • “Short Downtime period” means, for a domain, a period of one minute of Downtime. If there are more than five Short Downtime periods per calendar month, then Short Downtime periods will be counted equivalent to a Downtime period.
  • “Monthly uptime percentage” means total number of minutes in a calendar month minus the number of minutes of Downtime suffered from all Downtime Periods in a calendar month, divided by the total number of minutes in a calendar month
  • “Scheduled Downtime” means those times where ShipHawk notifies Clients of periods of Downtime. In order to help Licensee plan for scheduled downtime, we plan for Scheduled Downtime to be conducted on Tuesday evenings beginning at 2100 Pacific, usually scheduled for up to six (6) hours at a time.  Scheduled Downtime is not considered Downtime for the purposes of this SLA and will not be counted towards any Downtime Periods. We are using these windows only in cases where the tasks we are performing have a higher than normal level of risk of impacting the site.
  • “Service” means the ShipHawk API item, rates, shipment and tracking functions provided by ShipHawk to Client under the ShipHawk License Agreement.
  • “Service Credit” means 5% of Client monthly subscription fee as specified from their ShipHawk License Agreement will be credited to the Client’s next invoice per hour of Downtime, up to 100% of the monthly subscription fee. 

Client Must Request Service Credit. To receive any of the Service Credits described above, Client must notify ShipHawk in writing for any and all Downtime Periods that occur in a single calendar month and request the service credit. Failure to request such credits within 30 days of the beginning of the Downtime will forfeit Client’s right to receive a Service Credit.  You are not entitled to a credit if you are in breach of your services agreement with ShipHawk (including your payment obligations to ShipHawk) until you have cured the breach.  You are not entitled to a credit if Downtime would not have occurred but for your breach of your agreement with ShipHawk or your misuse of the Services.  You are not entitled to a credit for Downtime or outages resulting from denial of service attacks, virus activity, hacking attempts, or any other circumstances that are not within ShipHawk’s control.

SLA Exclusions.  ShipHawk shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Service available at all times, except for planned downtime and any unavailability caused by force majeure circumstances (e.g., fires, floods, acts of God, acts of government, civil unrest, Internet service provider failures or delays, and denial of service attacks), and to provide the Service only in accordance with applicable laws and government regulations.  ShipHawk will maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of Data. The SLA does not apply to any performance issues: (i) caused by factors outside of ShipHawk’s reasonable control; (ii) that resulted from any actions or inactions of Client, Customers or any third parties under their control; or (iii) that resulted from equipment used by Client, Customers and/or third parties under their control (not within the primary control of ShipHawk).
