• 1.6. Open Source Software. The Farmier Service contains open source software, including software licensed under copyleft licenses.

If Customer is a tax-exempt organization and is not obligated to pay taxes arising out of this Agreement, Customer will provide Barnowl with any required documentation to verify its tax exempt status with the applicable taxing authorities.

All such proposed variations or additions (whether submitted by Barnowl or Customer) are objected to and shall have no force or effect. This Agreement will not create any right or cause of action for any third party beneficiary or any other third party. This Agreement (including the Schedules hereto) contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all previous communications, representations, understandings and agreements, either oral or written, between the parties with respect to said subject matter.

Schedule A - Farmier Service Level Agreement (for Software as a Farmier Service)

This Farmier Service Level Agreement ("SLA") shall only apply to the Farmier Service during the Term of the Customer’s subscription for the Farmier Service as set forth in the applicable Order. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.

1. Availability

a. Formula. The Farmier Service will, subject to the exceptions listed below, be available at least 99% of the time during each calendar month (referred to herein as the “Availability Commitment”). The availability of the Farmier Service for a given month will be calculated according to the following formula (referred to herein as the “Availability”):

Where:

• Total minutes in the month = TMM
• Total minutes in the month the Farmier Service is unavailable = TMU

And:

• ((TMM - TMU) X 100) / TMM

b. For purposes of this calculation, the Farmier Service will be deemed to be unavailable (referred to herein as “Unavailable”) only (i) if the Farmier Service do not respond to HTTP requests issued by Barnowl’s monitoring software, or (ii) for the duration of a Severity-1 Error (i.e., the Farmier Service suffer an error or issue in a production down situation which cannot be reasonably circumvented and which so substantially impairs the performance of the Farmier Service or any components of the Farmier Service, which are critical to the Customer’s business, as to effectively render them unusable). Further, the Farmier Service will not be deemed Unavailable for any downtime or outages excluded from such calculation by reason of the exceptions set forth in Section 2 of this SLA. Barnowl’s records and data will be the basis for all SLA calculations and determinations.

c. Maintenance performed at Customer’s request outside of the normally scheduled maintenance will not be considered an outage.

2. Exceptions

a. The Farmier Service will not be considered to be Unavailable for any outage that results from any maintenance performed by Barnowl during Barnowl’s standard maintenance windows which occur between 6:00 p.m. Friday and 3:00 a.m. Monday Eastern time (collectively referred to herein as “Scheduled Maintenance”).

b. The Barnowl network extends to, includes and terminates at the data center located router that provides the outside interface of each of Barnowl’s WAN connections to its backbone providers (referred to herein as the “Barnowl Network”). The Farmier Service will not be considered Unavailable for any outage unavailability of the Farmier Service due to (a) Customer’s information content or application programming, acts or omissions of Customer or its agents; (b) delays or failures due to circumstances beyond Barnowl’s reasonable control that could not be avoided by its exercise of due care; or (c) failures of Internet backbone itself and the network by which Customer connects to the Internet backbone or any other network unavailability outside of the Barnowl network.

Schedule B - Customer Support Terms

CUSTOMER SUPPORT FOR BARNOWL OFFERINGS

This Support Terms sets forth the terms, conditions, and procedures under which maintenance and support (“Support”) is offered for the Farmier Service during the Term of the Customer’s subscription for such Farmier Service as set forth in the applicable Order. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.

1. GENERAL

Scope. Support will consist of: (i) email support; (ii) correction of errors to keep the Farmier Service in conformance with the user documentation included in the Farmier Service; and (iii) updated versions of the Farmier Service provided by Barnowl to its general customer base of subscribers at no additional charge. Support will not include: (x) set-up, installation, or configuration of hardware and software required for the Customer to access the Farmier Service; or (y) consultation, error correction, or research with respect to Customer-created documents and information. Additional levels of Support may be offered by Barnowl from time to time and ordered by Customer.

2. CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Links to Support resources and contact information can be found in Customer’s Farmier Service dashboard.

3. RESPONSE

The severity level of the problems reported by Customer shall be reasonably determined by Barnowl. Barnowl will resolve each reported error or issue with the Farmier Service by using commercially reasonable efforts to provide: (i) a patch or fix as necessary; or (ii) a reasonable workaround for the error or issue; or, if either (i) or (ii) are not reasonably practicable, a specific action plan regarding how Barnowl intends to address the reported error or issue and an estimate on how long it may take to correct or workaround the error or issue. Customer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist and provide information to Barnowl as required to resolve errors or issues with the Farmier Service reported by Customer. If a permanent repair cannot be made, a temporary resolution (bypass and recovery) will be implemented to the extent possible.

4. SUPPORT ISSUES

Support covers any issue or problem that is the result of a verifiable, replicable error (Barnowl will use all reasonable means to verify and replicate) in the Farmier Service ("Verifiable Support Issue"). An error will be a Verifiable Support Issue if it constitutes a material failure by the Farmier Service to function in accordance with the Barnowl documentation included in the Farmier Service. If Technical Support reasonably determines that Customer’s problem is not caused by Barnowl or its systems, equipment, or software, Barnowl is not obligated to provide support under this Agreement. Nevertheless, Barnowl will, if possible, offer suggestions as to how Customer can remedy the problem. If Barnowl determines that the issue was not the result of a Verifiable Support Issue, Barnowl may offer to provide for out of scope professional services at Barnowl’s then current rates upon its standard terms to address the issue.

5. ADDITIONAL SUPPORT

Technical Support may also determine that Customer’s request is a request for “Additional Support.” Additional Support is any assistance not covered above. Examples of Additional Support include substantive questions regarding data or results, requests for Farmier Service customization, specialized training regarding use of the Farmier Service, custom documentation, and consulting. If Barnowl believes that it can appropriately and effectively provide the requested services, it will offer to do so at its then-current rates upon its standard terms, subject to an Order.

6. CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITIES

Customer’s designated representative shall initiate all requests for Customer Support. The representative must be trained, qualified and authorized to communicate all necessary information, perform diagnostic testing under the direction of the Barnowl service representative and be available during the performance of any Customer Support if required.
