Special situations
- The agreement covers one hosted service, not a multi-service master ordering framework.
- Availability, support, security, backup, recovery, location, and deletion commitments are limited to selected actual capabilities rather than broad marketing promises.
- Personal and sensitive data branches record roles, purposes, controls, subprocessors, locations, and any separate DPA relationship without claiming universal compliance.
- Suspension and termination remain coordinated with service credits, fees, exports, transition, retention, backup aging, legal holds, and deletion.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a master SaaS framework?
No. It covers one identified hosted service and subscription rather than multiple future orders or unrelated services.
Can usage-based fees be included?
Yes. The conditional path records metrics, included amounts, units, rates, tiers, caps, alerts, measurement sources, corrections, and disputes.
Does it promise uninterrupted service?
No. Any selected SLA uses defined components, measurements, exclusions, maintenance, support targets, and credit remedies.
Does it guarantee perfect security or backups?
No. It records supported controls, shared responsibilities, actual backup and restore capabilities, incidents, locations, and evidence.
What happens to customer data at exit?
Schedule G coordinates export, transition, active retention, backup aging, legal holds, deletion triggers, exceptions, evidence, and completion.
