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).

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.

EXHIBIT A - SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT

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.

1. Definitions

“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.

2. Service Commitments and Service Credits

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.

3. Sole Remedy

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.

4. Credit Request and Payment Procedures

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:

1. The words “SLA Credit Request” in the subject line;
2. The dates and times of each Unavailability incident that you are claiming;
3. The account handle(s); and
4. 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.

5. SLA Exclusions

The Service Commitment does not apply to any Unavailability:

1. That results from a suspension or Remedial Action, as described in the Terms;
2. 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;
3. That results from any actions or inactions of you or any third party;
4. That results from the equipment, software or other technology of you or any third party (other than third party equipment within our direct control);
5. That results from failures of Waitwhile Services not attributable to Unavailability; or
6. 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.
