Service Level Agreement

Last Updated: January 1, 2019

This Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) governs the provision of the software services (“Software Service”) by Inkit Inc. (“Inkit”, “us” or “we“) to customer (“Customer“) if specified by the terms of the Inkit Customer Agreement (the “Agreement“).  All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Enterprise Terms.  “Service Levels” means Availability or Problem Resolution as specified below.

1. Service Availability

“Availability” means System Availability or Website Availability as specified below.  The Software Service shall perform in accordance with the following standards: “System Availability” means Software Service monthly uptime of 99%, excluding scheduled downtime (of which Inkit will give at least one (1) week notice and which Inkit will schedule during the weekend hours from 6:00 p.m. PT Friday to 3:00 a.m. PT Monday), not to exceed forty-eight (48) hours in any twelve (12) month period.  “Website Availability” means minimum webpage connect time of 2.0 seconds 90% of the time and 4.0 seconds 100% of the time.

2. Technical Support & Problem Resolution

2.1 Problem Resolution.  Inkit will correct all problems that are reported by Customer or of which Inkit otherwise becomes aware in accordance with the following table.  The priority level of the problems reported by Customer shall be determined by Inkit.

Priority

Description

Response and Fix Time

1

The Software Service is not working, a significant function of the Software Service is not properly working or a significant number of users are unable to access or use some functionality.

Inkit will respond to and Inkit’s senior engineers will commence efforts to fix Priority 1 problems no later than one (1) hour after Customer’s report of such problem or Inkit’s detection of such problem, whichever is earlier.  Inkit will use best and continuous efforts, twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week to provide an acceptable work-around for the Priority 1 problem, and will provide a permanent fix for the Priority 1 problem no later than thirty (30) days after Customer’s report of such problem or Inkit’s detection of such problem, whichever is earlier.

2

Functionality of the Software Service is impaired or some users are unable to access or use some functionality.

Inkit will respond to and Inkit’s senior engineers will commence efforts to fix Priority 2 problems no later than one (1) hour after Customer’s report of such problem or Inkit’s detection of such problem, whichever is earlier. Inkit will use reasonable and continuous efforts to fix Priority 2 problems during normal business hours, and if an acceptable work-around is provided, will provide a permanent fix of the Priority 2 problem no later than thirty (30) days after Customer’s report of such problem or Inkit’s detection of such problem, whichever is earlier.

3

Low impact to users of the Software Service.

Inkit will respond to Priority 3 problems within four (4) hours after Customer’s report of such problem or Inkit’s detection of such problem, whichever is earlier, during Customer’s regular business hours (or on the next business day, if the problem is reported outside of Customer’s regular business hours). Inkit will fix Priority 3 problems no later than thirty (30) days after Customer’s report of such problem or Inkit’s detection of such problem, whichever is earlier.

3. Failure to Achieve Service Levels

If Service Levels falls below the Availability or Fix Times during any calendar month, Customer may elect to receive a credit from Inkit against fees and payments due for the months following any month in which Service Levels do not meet the Availability or Fix Times, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Platform Amount fees due to Inkit for that month.  In order to receive credit, Customer must submit a claim by notifying Inkit support. To be eligible, the claim must be received during the subsequent month’s billing cycle after which the incident occured. The claim must include (i) dates and times of each problem (ii) the logs that document the errors and corroborate Customer’s claimed outage. If the claim is accepted by Inkit and is less than the Availability, then Inkit will issue a credit within thirty days following the month your claim is accepted. Customer’s failure to submit a claim and provide the preceding information will disqualify Customer from receiving a credit.

4. Contingencies

Inkit will, in accordance with industry best practice, maintain detailed and comprehensive contingency plans against events which could affect the ability of Inkit to provide support in accordance with this SLA, including, without limitation, loss of production, loss of systems, loss of equipment, industrial relations problems with Inkit’s or Inkit’s subcontractors’ personnel, failures in the supply chain, failure of carriers and the failure of Inkit’s or its vendors’ equipment, computer systems or business systems.

5. General

This SLA is subject to occasional revision, and if we make any substantial changes, we may notify Customer by sending them an e-mail to the last e-mail address Customer provided to us (if any), and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes on our website. Customer is responsible for providing us with their most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address that Customer has provided us is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to Customer the notice described above, our dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice of the changes described in the notice. Any changes to this SLA will be effective upon the earlier of thirty (30) calendar days following our dispatch of an e-mail notice to Customer (if applicable) or thirty (30) calendar days following our posting of notice of the changes on our website. These changes will be effective immediately for new users of the Inkit Technology. Continued use of the Inkit Technology following notice of such changes shall indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of such changes.

6. Exclusions

The Availability does not apply to any unavailability, suspension or termination of Inkit’s Software Services, or any other Inkit performance issues: (i) that result from a violation of Inkit’s Terms of Service or Inkit Customer Agreement; (ii) caused by factors outside of Inkit’s reasonable control, including any force majeure event or internet access or related problems beyond the demarcation point of Inkit’s Software Service; (iii) that result from any actions or inactions of Customer or any third party; (iv) that result from Customer’s software, equipment or other technology and/or third party software, equipment or other technology (other than third party equipment within Inkit’s direct control); (v) that result from any scheduled downtime as provided; or (vi) arising from Inkit’s suspension and termination of Customer’s right to use the Software Service in accordance with Inkit’s Terms of Service. If availability is impacted by factors other than those used in the Availability calculation, then Inkit may issue a credit at its own discretion.

HIPAA Addendum

Last Updated: July 1, 2020

Pursuant to the Master Subscription Agreement between Inkit and the Customer (“Agreement”) and any additional terms set forth in this HIPAA Addendum, the Customer intends to submit Protected Health Information, as defined in 45 CFR §160.103 (“PHI”), to Inkit’s Services, either directly or indirectly, and Inkit has agreed to store and process such PHI subject to the terms of a Business Associate Addendum between the Parties and the terms of this HIPAA Addendum. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this HIPAA Addendum have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

1. The Customer agrees that, in connection with the use of the Services to collect or store PHI, the Customer shall notify Inkit in writing of: (i) the type of PHI being sent to, or collected by, the Services by or on behalf of the Customer; (ii) the way that the PHI is being submitted to the Services (e.g., by API); and (iii) the specific end user attributes or events related to the submission of any PHI.

2. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that, if the Customer uses any third-party integrations with the Services (such as print, mail, or fulfillment functionalities provided by third parties), such third-party integrations may not be HIPAA compliant and Inkit is not liable for any non-compliance, data breaches, or damages that may arise as a result of the Customer’s use of any such third-party integrations.

3. The Customer is responsible for securing and controlling its logins and API keys related to the Services. Inkit urges the Customer to use IP whitelisting for dashboard and server usage and an API key secret manager. Inkit is not liable to the Customer for violations of HIPAA arising from any incidents, non-compliance, data breaches, or damages that are attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Customer’s failure to protect its logins or API keys related to the Services.

4. The Customer agrees that: (i) it shall not store or submit to the Services medical reports, medical records, or medical images; and (ii) it shall use the Services exclusively for engagement, retention, customer relationship management, and marketing purposes and not as part of any patient treatment. The Customer acknowledges that Inkit does not warrant the availability of PHI maintained through the Services and that the Customer is responsible for ensuring that all PHI submitted to or stored on the Services exists elsewhere in duplicate.

5. The Customer is exclusively responsible, and Inkit has no liability to the Customer for, the Customer’s compliance with HIPAA in connection with the Customer’s export or transfer, directly or indirectly, of PHI from or via the Services.

6. Inkit disclaims any liability for violations of HIPAA arising from the Customer’s use of the Services to send messages or other materials that contain PHI or that are related to clinical quality issues, patient safety issues, clinical or medical care, or patient health-related issues.

7. The Customer will be provided with custom HTTPS endpoints for ingestion of Customer Data, including PHI, into the Services in a HIPAA-compliant manner. The Customer acknowledges that it is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that Customer Data, including PHI, sent via API uses these endpoints and failure to do so may result in processing of the Customer Data in a non-HIPAA-compliant manner. Inkit is not liable to the Customer for breaches of HIPAA arising from the Customer’s failure to use the custom HTTPS endpoints provided by Inkit.

Except as modified by this HIPAA Addendum, the Agreement remains unmodified and in full force and effect. The Customer hereby ratifies and reaffirms acceptance of all terms and conditions of the Agreement.

HIPAA Business Associate Addendum

Last Updated: July 1, 2020

This HIPAA Business Associate Addendum (the “BAA”) is made a part of, and incorporated into, the Agreement. The purpose of this BAA is to implement certain requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as supplemented and amended by the requirements of Subtitle D of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, “HIPAA”). The Parties acknowledge that those regulations include both the federal privacy regulations, as amended from time to time, issued pursuant to HIPAA and codified at 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164 (Subparts A & E) (the “Privacy Rule”), and the federal security regulations, as amended from time to time, issued pursuant to HIPAA and codified at 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164 (Subparts A& C) (the “Security Rule”).

In the course of providing the Services to the Customer pursuant to the Agreement, Inkit may, on behalf of the Customer, receive, maintain, or transmit information entered into the Services as Customer Data that constitutes Protected Health Information, as defined in 45 CFR §160.103 (“PHI”), and as a result may, for certain purposes and under certain circumstances, be deemed a Business Associate, as such term is defined in 45 CFR §160.103, under HIPAA. This BAA governs the Customer’s and Inkit’s respective responsibilities with respect to PHI when Inkit acts as a Business Associate to the Customer, including Inkit’s Use and Disclosure of PHI, as such terms are defined in 45CFR §160.103.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this BAA have the meaning given to them in the Agreement. If any such term is not defined in the Agreement, then such term has the meaning given to it under HIPAA.

The Customer shall not voluntarily add any limitation to any notice of privacy practices or agree to any restriction request to the extent that such limitation or restriction would further limit Inkit’s Use or Disclosure of PHI under this BAA. To the extent that the Customer is required by law to include a limitation in its notice of privacy practices or to agree to a restriction request that further limits Inkit’s Use or Disclosure of PHI under this BAA, the Customer shall immediately notify Inkit of such limitation or restriction. To the extent that an Individual revokes a consent, authorization, or permission that results in further limitation on Inkit’s Use or Disclosure of PHI under this BAA, the Customer shall immediately notify Inkit of such limitation.

2. Use and Disclosure of PHI by Inkit.

Inkit shall Use or Disclose PHI only in the manner and for the purposes set forth in this BAA and not in any other manner or for any other purposes. The Customer hereby authorizes Inkit to do the following:

2.2 Use and Disclose PHI for Inkit’s proper management and administration, provided that any Disclosure is (a) Required by Law or (b) Inkit receives reasonable assurances from the person to whom the PHI is disclosed that it will be held confidentially and Used or further Disclosed only as Required by Law or for the purposes for which it was Disclosed to the person and that the person will notify Inkit of any instances of which the person is aware in which the confidentiality of the PHI has been breached.

2.3 Use PHI to create de-identified information in accordance with 45 CFR§164.514(b), and such resulting de-identified information shall no longer be subject to HIPAA or this BAA.

For clarity, Inkit makes no representations about the Use and Disclosure of PHI by any Third-Party Provider or Third-Party Vendor accounts and/or websites operated by or on behalf of the Customer with respect to which the Customer is using the Services.

3. Protection of PHI.

In connection with its receipt, maintenance, or transmission of PHI on behalf of the Customer, Inkit agrees to do the following:

3.1 in accordance with 45 CFR §164.502(e)(1), ensure that any Subcontractors that receive, maintain, or transmit PHI on behalf of Inkit agree to restrictions and conditions no less restrictive than those that apply to Inkit in this BAA with respect to such PHI;

3.2  use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, and comply, where applicable, with the Security Rule with respect to any PHI that constitutes Electronic Protected Health Information, to prevent Use or Disclosure of PHI other than as provided for by this BAA;

3.3 comply with the applicable requirements of the Security Rule; and

3.4  to the extent Inkit is to carry out the Customer’s obligations under the Privacy Rule, comply with the requirements of the Privacy Rule that apply to the Customer in the performance of those obligations; notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that, under the Agreement and this BAA, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Parties in writing, Inkit has no obligations to carry out any of the Customer’s obligations under the Privacy Rule.

The Parties acknowledge that Inkit makes no representations about the accuracy of PHI that is received, maintained, or transmitted by or on behalf of the Customer by the Services.

Such data deletion process is subject to applicable legal requirements. If export or destruction of Customer Data that constitutes PHI is not feasible, Inkit shall extend the confidentiality and security protections of this BAA to that Customer Data and limit further Uses and Disclosures of such Customer Data to those purposes that make the return or destruction of the Customer Data infeasible.

10. Non-Compliance.

Clause 2

Details of the transfer

The details of the transfer and in particular the special categories of personal data where applicable are specified in Appendix 1 which forms an integral part of the Clauses.

Clause 3

Third-party beneficiary clause

The liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.

Clause 7

Mediation and jurisdiction

1.          The data importer agrees that if the data subject invokes against it third-party beneficiary rights and/or claims compensation for damages under the Clauses, the data importer will accept the decision of the data subject:

(a)        to refer the dispute to mediation, by an independent person or, where applicable, by the supervisory authority;

(b)       to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

2.          The parties agree that the choice made by the data subject will not prejudice its substantive or procedural rights to seek remedies in accordance with other provisions of national or international law.

Clause 8

Cooperation with supervisory authorities

1.          The data exporter agrees to deposit a copy of this contract with the supervisory authority if it so requests or if such deposit is required under the applicable data protection law.

2.          The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to conduct an audit of the data importer, and of any subprocessor, which has the same scope and is subject to the same conditions as would apply to an audit of the data exporter under the applicable data protection law.

3.          The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the existence of legislation applicable to it or any subprocessor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any subprocessor, pursuant to paragraph 2. In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5 (b).

Clause 9

Governing Law

The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

Clause 10

Variation of the contract

The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Clauses. This does not preclude the parties from adding clauses on business related issues where required as long as they do not contradict the Clause.

Clause 11

Subprocessing

1.          The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on the subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses[3]. Where the subprocessor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the subprocessor's obligations under such agreement.

2.          The prior written contract between the data importer and the subprocessor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.

3.          The provisions relating to data protection aspects for subprocessing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

4.          The data exporter shall keep a list of subprocessing agreements concluded under the Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant to Clause 5 (j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the data exporter's data protection supervisory authority.

Clause 12

Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services

1.          The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data processing services, the data importer and the subprocessor shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.

2.          The data importer and the subprocessor warrant that upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.

Refer to Inkit’s Security, Privacy, and Architecture Datasheet attached as Schedule 1 to the DPA.

[1] Parties may reproduce definitions and meanings contained in Directive 95/46/EC within this Clause if they considered it better for the contract to stand alone.

[2] Mandatory requirements of the national legislation applicable to the data importer which do not go beyond what is necessary in a democratic society on the basis of one of the interests listed in Article 13(1) of Directive 95/46/EC, that is, if they constitute a necessary measure to safeguard national security, defence, public security, the prevention, investigation, detection and prosecution of criminal offences or of breaches of ethics for the regulated professions, an important economic or financial interest of the State or the protection of the data subject or the rights and freedoms of others, are not in contradiction with the standard contractual clauses. Some examples of such mandatory requirements which do not go beyond what is necessary in a democratic society are, interalia, internationally recognised sanctions, tax- reporting requirements or anti-money-laundering reporting requirements.  

[3] This requirement may be satisfied by the subprocessor co-signing the contract entered into between the data exporter and the data importer under this Decision.
