SERVICE AVAILABILITY (Excluding Service provided by Offline Files)

Availability means the Client’s ability to utilize the Video Arts Delivered Service during the relevant month and is calculated as follows:
x = (y – z)/y* 100%
KEY |
|
x |
is the Availability during such month |
y |
is the total number of hours in such month minus the number of hours during such month that the Client is unable to utilize the Video Arts Delivered Service because of scheduled maintenance for the Video Arts Delivered Service as to which the Client has been notified by Video Arts at least seven days in advance via email;a Force Majeure Event;non-performance of hardware, software, and other equipment that is not provided by Video Arts or under control of Video Arts for use in conjunction with the Video Arts Delivered Service (except as such non-performance is directly or indirectly caused by Video Arts). |
z |
is the number of hours in such month during which the Client is unable to utilize the Video Arts Delivered Service (other than for reasons in the definition of “y” above); provided that Video Arts has been notified or is otherwise aware (or reasonably should be aware) of the Client’s inability to utilize the Video Arts Delivered Service. |
In the event that the Video Arts Delivered Service is unavailable for less than 99% of a calendar month due to a failure by Video Arts, Video Arts will extend the Term by an equivalent number of days to those when the Video Arts Delivered Service was unavailable. By way of an example, if the digital library was unavailable on 23 and 24 December and these dates were not dates on which essential maintenance and upgrades had been scheduled in advance, the Term would be extended by 2 days.
The above remedy is the Client’s sole remedy and Video Arts’ entire liability in the event of Video Arts’ failure to provide Availability to the Client of at least ninety nine percent (99%) during the relevant calendar month. The Client must make Video Arts aware that they are not able to use the Video Arts Delivered Service.
