BY CLICKING THE “ACCEPT” BUTTON ON THE LICENSE, YOU ALSO AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS SLA

  1. Definitions. For the purpose of the SLA, the terms in bold are defined as follows:
    1. “Active Bid Period” means the time period in which participating airlines allow bids to be actively submitted in the bidding system which is currently defined as starting at 5pm Central Standard Time on the 6th of every month, ending at 10am Central Standard Time on the 12th of every month.
    2. “Available” means that a Subscriber whose account is active, enabled, and has reasonable access to the Services provided by CCL, subject to the exclusions defined in Downtime Minutes below.
    3. “Downtime” means the total number of minutes that the Subscriber cannot access the Services during the Active Bid Period. The calculation of Downtime Minutes excludes time that the Subscriber is unable to access the Services due to any of the following:
      1. Maintenance Time
      2. Subscriber’s own Internet service provider
      3. Force Majeure event
      4. Any systemic Internet failures
      5. Any failure in the Subscriber’s own hardware, software or Network connection
      6. Subscriber’s bandwidth restrictions
      7. Subscriber’s acts or omissions
      8. Anything outside of the direct control of CCL Software, including, but not limited to, failure to perform by a contractor, sub-contractor or vendor of CCL, as well as failures of any participating airline bidding system
    4. “Emergency Maintenance” means change controls that are immediately needed and occur with little prior notification (CCL will post the information on BidNav as soon as reasonably practical).
    5. “Maintenance Notices” means the notice that CCL will place on the front page of the BidNav website at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance (or longer if practical) of planned maintenance. (There may be times when CCL performs maintenance of BidNav without notice in order to protect the integrity of BidNav due to security issues, virus attacks, spam issues, or other unforeseen circumstances.
    6. “Maintenance Time means the time period during which BidNav may not be Available because of routine maintenance to maximize performance, on an as needed basis.
    7. “Planned Maintenance” means change controls in support of on-going product and operational changes necessary for optimal performance, deployment of non-critical service packs or patches, and periodic redundancy testing.
    8. “Problem Response Time” means the time period after CCL’s confirmation of the Services event, from receipt of the information required from the Subscriber for CCL's Support Team to begin resolution and open a trouble ticket in CCL's systems. Due to the wide diversity of problems that can occur, and the methods required to resolve them, problem response time IS NOT defined as the time between the receipt of a call and problem resolution. After receiving a report of fault, CCL shall use a reasonable method to provide Subscriber with a progress update.
    9. “Preventative Maintenance” means change controls made after detection of an item in the environment necessary to to avoid emergency change controls in the future. (Whenever reasonably possible, preventative maintenance will be done during low peak hours as defined by our network metrics.)

    2. Measurement. CCL uses a proprietary system to measure whether BidNav is Available, which shall be the sole basis for resolution of any dispute regarding this SLA.  Availability is calculated based on the following formula: A = (T – M – D) / (T – M) x 100% A = Availability T = Total Monthly Minutes M = Maintenance Time D = Downtime
      Availability Credit Amount of Monthly Fee
      > 97.9% but < 99.9% 3%
      > 96.9% but < 97.9% 5%
