Service Level Agreement (SLA)

Dated: May 2, 2025

This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") describes the level of service you can expect when using SourceMagnet. This SLA only applies to paying customers with an active subscription. It is intended to provide transparency into how we operate and what you can expect in terms of support, availability, and communications. This SLA is publicly available to help set clear expectations and does not represent a legally binding contract unless explicitly included in a signed agreement.

Note that these terms may be updated from time to time. 

1. Purpose

This SLA outlines the expected level of service provided to users of the SourceMagnet platform, including system availability, support, and communication regarding updates and changes.

2. Scope of Services

This SLA applies to the following services:

  • Access to the SourceMagnet web application
  • Secure hosting and ongoing maintenance
  • Customer support (technical and functional)
  • Product updates and related documentation

3. Service Availability

We strive to maintain a monthly uptime target of 99%, excluding planned maintenance.

Planned Maintenance:

  • Updates will be shared through relevant support channels during major incidents

3.1 Service Credits for Downtime

If actual uptime in a calendar month falls below the committed level (excluding planned maintenance), the Customer may request a service credit. The credit is calculated as a percentage of the monthly subscription fee, based on the deviation:

Deviation from Uptime Target Service Credit (% of Monthly Fee)
0.00% – 1.00% 5%
1.01% – 2.00% 8%
2.01% – 3.00% 11%
3.01% – 20.00% 20%

Conditions for Service Credits:

  • The customer must submit a written request within 15 days of the end of the month in question.
  • The credit is applied to the next billing cycle and cannot be exchanged for cash.
  • The total monthly credit is capped at 20% of the monthly fee.
  • Downtime is measured based on our internal monitoring systems.

This clause only applies to paying customers under an active subscription. Customers on trial, free tiers, or with overdue payments are not eligible.
