PASS THROUGH COSTS AND PAYMENT TERMS
1. Twilio passthrough costs. As part of the Services, Waitwhile is integrated with Twilio, a leading SMS messaging vendor. Twilio charges Waitwhile for each SMS segment, which is approximately 160 characters in length (with some exceptions as detailed in Twilio's documentation here). Waitwhile agrees to act as an intermediary between Twilio and the Customer for the purpose of facilitating payment for SMS segment costs incurred by the Customer in connection with the performance of the Services. An SMS segment is consumed whenever a message is sent between the Customer, Guest, and Waitwhile Platform, regardless of the message's direction. This means that both incoming and outgoing messages, as well as messages between the Customer, Guest, and Waitwhile Platform, will count towards the total SMS segment usage. The Customer will be responsible for all SMS segment costs incurred, which will be charged by Waitwhile.
2. SMS Credits. The Customer agrees to purchase SMS Credits for any given term at a price mutually agreed upon by the parties. The SMS Credits can be used for SMS segments where prices apply, depending on which countries the Customer chooses to use the SMS segments in. The SMS Credits will be counted towards the SMS segment consumption for the then current term and will be subject to changes in the Twilio country-specific SMS segment fee from time to time. Waitwhile reserves the right to adjust the SMS segment pricing to reflect the Twilio SMS segment pricing at any given time. Any additional SMS segment usage beyond the purchased SMS Segment Credits will be invoiced separately at the then-current SMS segment rate. If the Customer requires additional SMS segments, they may refill their SMS Credits at any time during the term. These SMS Credit refills will be invoiced separately and purchased upfront.
3. Carry-over. Any SMS Segment Credits that remain at the end of each term will expire and cannot be carried over to the next term. However, any unused refill of SMS Segment Credits will be automatically added to the next term's allotment. Please note that any remaining SMS segments at the end of the final term will be considered consumed, and Waitwhile will not issue any refunds or credits for unused SMS Credits.
4. Pass Through Email Costs. Waitwhile enables the Customer to send emails through its platform for the purpose of facilitating communication with their users. The Customer will be responsible for all email costs incurred, and Waitwhile will invoice the Customer for such costs on an email package basis, in advance, as per agreement. If the Customer requires additional email messages, they may purchase additional packages and pay the email rate of $0.0007 per email. These additional email messages will be invoiced separately, and purchased upfront in the requested volume.
5. Billing Schedule. Pursuant to the Agreement, all fees shall be paid in United States Dollars (USD), annually in advance, with a net payment term of 30 days. Unless otherwise agreed, all invoices shall be submitted electronically via Vendor's designated third-party software (e.g., Stripe) (hereinafter, "Invoice System"). The Customer shall provide an email address for invoice processing. Vendor reserves the right to reject any requests to use the Customer's Invoice System (e.g., Ariba).

During the term of this Agreement, either Party may disclose or make available to the other Party information about its business affairs, products, confidential intellectual property, trade secrets, third-party confidential information, and other sensitive or proprietary information, whether orally or in written, electronic, or other form or media/in written or electronic form or media, whether or not marked, designated, or otherwise identified as “confidential” (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information does not include information that, at the time of disclosure is: (i) in the public domain; (ii) known to the receiving Party at the time of disclosure; (iii) rightfully obtained by the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third party; or (iv) independently developed by the receiving Party.
The receiving Party shall treat the Confidential Information as it does its own valuable and sensitive information of a similar nature and, in any event, with not less than a reasonable degree of care. The receiving Party shall not disclose the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the receiving Party’s employees who have a need to know the Confidential Information for the receiving Party to exercise its rights or perform its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required (i) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order; or (ii) to establish a Party’s rights under this Agreement, including to make required court filings.
On the expiration or termination of the Agreement, the receiving Party shall promptly return to the disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to the disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed. Each Party’s obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the Effective Date and will expire five years from the date first disclosed to the receiving Party; provided, however, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable law), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.

Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services in accordance with its security policies as may be updated from time to time, available at https://waitwhile.com/security/ (“Security Policy”). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Provider may modify its Security Policy at its discretion provided that such modification does not result in a material degradation of the protections provided thereunder.

In no event shall Provider be liable, or be deemed to have breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement, if and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond Provider’s reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, or passage of law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo.
Amendment and Modification; Waiver. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement is effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each Party. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof will be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (i) no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement will operate or be construed as a waiver thereof, and (ii) no single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect their original intent as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
Governing Law; Venue; Time Limit for Bringing Claims. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of California. Any claim or action by Customer in relation to an alleged breach of this Agreement shall be commenced within one (1) year of the date of the breach, without regarding to the date the breach was discovered. Any claim or action not brought within such time period shall be irrevocably barred. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the licenses granted hereunder will be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of California in each case located in the city of San Francisco and County of San Francisco, and each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action, or proceeding.
Assignment. Neither party may assign any of their rights or delegate any of their obligations under this agreement, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this Section will be null and void. No assignment or delegation will relieve either party of any of their obligations under this agreement. This Agreement binds and benefits both parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
Export Regulation. Customer shall comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), that prohibit or restrict the export or re-export of the Services or any Customer Data outside the US.
US Government Rights. Each of the Documentation and the software components that constitute the Services is a “commercial item” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. § 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212. Accordingly, if Customer is an agency of the US Government or any contractor therefore, Customer only receives those rights with respect to the Services and Documentation as are granted to all other end users, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. § 227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. § 227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. § 12.212, with respect to all other US Government users and their contractors.
Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under 6 or, in the case of Customer, Sections 2 (a), (b), or (c) would cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
Marketing: The Provider shall have the right to use the Customer's logo and trademarks on the Provider's website, at tradeshows, and in marketing materials for the purpose of identifying the Customer as a user of the Provider's software as a service. The Customer grants the Provider a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Customer's logo and trademarks for the purposes outlined in this Agreement, and for no other purpose without the prior written consent of the Customer.

This Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) between Waitwhile, Inc. (“Waitwhile”, “us” or “we”) and users of the Waitwhile Services (“you”) govern the use of the Waitwhile Services under the provisions of the Agreement. Unless otherwise provided herein, this SLA is subject to the provisions of the Agreement. Please be advised that this Service Level Agreement only pertains to Enterprise customers and shall not be applicable to Customers who have subscribed to Waitwhile's Free, Starter or Business Plans.

“Maintenance” means scheduled Unavailability of the Waitwhile Services, as announced by us prior to the Waitwhile Services becoming Unavailable.

“Monthly Uptime Percentage” is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of minutes during the month in which the Waitwhile Services were Unavailable. Monthly Uptime Percentage measurements exclude downtime resulting directly or indirectly from any SLA Exclusion.

“Service Credit” means a credit denominated in US dollars, calculated as set forth below, that we may credit back to an eligible account.

“Unavailable” and “Unavailability” mean, for our service, when it is not running or not reachable due to Waitwhile’s fault.

Service Credits are calculated as a percentage of the total charges due on your Waitwhile invoice for the annual or monthly billing cycle in which the Unavailability occurred, applied proportionally to the Services that were Unavailable, in accordance with the schedule below:

For Monthly Uptime Percentage less than 99.95% but equal to or greater than 99.0%, you will be eligible for a Service Credit of 10% of the charges attributable to the affected resources.

For Monthly Uptime Percentage less than 99.0%, you will be eligible for a Service Credit of 30% of the charges attributable to the affected resources.

We will apply any Service Credits only against future payments for the Services otherwise due from you. At our discretion, we may issue the Service Credit to the credit card you used to pay for the billing cycle in which the Unavailability occurred. Service Credits will not entitle you to any refund or other payment from Waitwhile. A Service Credit will be applicable and issued only if the credit amount for the applicable monthly billing cycle is greater than one dollar ($1 USD). Service Credits may not be transferred or applied to any other account.

Unless otherwise provided in the Terms, your sole and exclusive remedy for any unavailability, non-performance, or other failure by us to provide the Services is the receipt of a Service Credit (if eligible) in accordance with the terms of this SLA.

To receive a Service Credit, you must submit a claim by emailing: hello@waitwhile.com. To be eligible, the credit request must be received by us by the end of the second billing cycle after which the incident occurred and must include:

The words “SLA Credit Request” in the subject line;
The dates and times of each Unavailability incident that you are claiming;
The account handle(s); and
Logs that document the errors and corroborate your claimed outage (any confidential or sensitive information in these logs should be removed or replaced with asterisks).

If the Monthly Uptime Percentage of such request is confirmed by us and is less than the Service Commitment, then we will issue the Service Credit to you within one billing cycle following the month in which your request is confirmed by us. Your failure to provide the request and other information as required above will disqualify you from receiving a Service Credit.

The Service Commitment does not apply to any Unavailability:

That results from a suspension or Remedial Action, as described in the Terms;
Caused by factors outside of our reasonable control, including any force majeure event, Internet access, or problems beyond the demarcation point of the Waitwhile network;
That results from any actions or inactions of you or any third party;
That results from the equipment, software or other technology of you or any third party (other than third party equipment within our direct control);
That results from failures of Waitwhile Services not attributable to Unavailability; or
That results from any Maintenance.

If availability is impacted by factors other than those used in our Monthly Uptime Percentage calculation, then we may, but are not required to, issue a Service Credit considering such factors at our sole discretion.

Effective support of in-scope services is a result of maintaining consistent service levels. The following sections provide relevant details on service availability, monitoring of in-scope services and related components.

All Errors reported by Customer to Waitwhile will be assigned a severity level by Waitwhile. Reported Errors will be classified as follows:

Severity Level 1- Severity Level 1 implies that the Application is not functioning or Customer is unable to use major portions of the Application.

Severity Level 1:

Error Resolution - Immediate steps will be taken toward solving the Error. Waitwhile will work to resolve Severity Level 1 Errors on a twenty-four (24) hour basis until the Error is resolved. If required, Waitwhile staff will be moved off of lower Severity Level Errors to service Severity Level 1 Errors.
Resource Commitment - When a Severity Level 1 Error is reported, Waitwhile will assign all resources required to correct the Error. Work on the Error will be continuous until a Fix is found.

Completion Goal - The completion goal will be to resolve one hundred percent (100%) of all Severity Level 1 Errors with a Fix or Bypass within eight (8) hours of receipt of the Error Report.
The Customer will be notified of the status of the Error.

Severity Level 2:

Error Resolution - Severity Level 2 Errors will be analyzed in the order that they are reported. Severity Level 1 Errors will take priority over Severity Level 2 Errors.
Resource Commitment - Appropriate technical resources will be assigned to Severity Level 2 issues as long as Severity Level 1 Errors are not open.
Completion Goal - The completion goal will be to resolve one hundred percent (100%) of all Severity Level 2 Errors within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of the Error Report.
The Customer will be notified of the status of the Error.

Severity Level 3:

Error Resolution - Severity Level 3 errors will be researched after Severity Level 1 and Severity Level 2 Errors. The majority of the Severity Level 3 Errors will be scheduled for correction and be resolved as part of the next scheduled Update to all of Waitwhile’s users of the Application generally.
Resource Commitment - Severity Level 3 Fixes will be included in the next scheduled Update.
Completion Goal - The completion goal and objective will be to correct Errors in the next scheduled Update to all of Waitwhile’s users of the Application generally.
