17. SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT ("SLA")
+17.1 Uptime Commitment.
MSI will make the Service available to you on a twenty-four hour, seven days a week (24x7) basis at a rate of 99.9% (“Uptime Requirement”). Subject to the “SLA” Exclusions” (as hereinafter defined), if we do not meet the Uptime Requirement, you may be eligible to receive “Service Credit” (as hereinafter defined). The Uptime Requirement begins on the Effective Date.
17.2 Measuring Uptime.
We measure Uptime starting on the Effective Date, for twelve (12) month periods (each a Measurement Period). The “Uptime Metric Percentage” (as hereafter defined) will be calculated using the following formula, resulting in the “Uptime Requirements Percentage” set forth in the table below:
(Total Minutes Per Period – SLA Failure – SLA Exclusions)
(Total Minutes Per Period – SLA Exclusions)
In other words:
Total Minutes Per Period,
minus,
SLA Failure,
minus,
SLA Exclusions
equals the Uptime Metric Percentage
Uptime Metric Percentage is then divided by:
The difference between Total Minutes Per Period,
minus,
SLA Exclusions.
The foregoing equals the Uptime Requirements Percentage.
17.3 Service Credits.
If the Uptime Requirement for an applicable Measurement Period is not satisfied, you may be entitled to a "Service Credit" as follows:
Uptime Requirements Percentage: |
Service Credit: |
99.9% or higher |
No Credit |
98%-99.8% |
One (1) free month of Services |
95% -97.9% |
Two (2) free months of Services |
90%-94.9% |
Six (6) free months of Services |
Below 90% |
Twelve (12) free months of Services |
17.4 Credit Request.
To receive Credit, you must send MSI an email to accounting@millenniumsi.com later than thirty (30) days after the end of the applicable Measurement Period. The email must include date(s), time(s) and description(s) of each instance of downtime, and any supporting documentation and calculations. MSI will review all properly submitted credit requests against MSI’s logs and system records.
17.5 Credit Eligibility.
Your Meevo Subscription must be current and in good standing for a minimum of twelve (12) consecutive months to request a Service Credit. You are not eligible to request or receive any Credit Service for any Measurement Period during which you were in breach or other violation of any monetary or non-monetary obligation to MSI. Credits will be applied to future Services only, and any unused Credits are non-refundable upon termination of the Agreement. Beta, trial, sandbox, and similar testing services are excluded from this SLA and not eligible for Service Credit.
17.6 Definitions.
(1) “Total Minutes Per Period” means the total number of minutes in the Measurement Period.
(2) “SLA Failure” means downtime during Measurement Period that does not satisfy the Uptime Requirement and is not an SLA Exclusion.
(3) “SLA Exclusion” means downtime or performance issues directly or indirectly cause by or arising from any of the following:
- Scheduled maintenance for which we give you at least eight (8) hours prior notice performed from 12am to 7am EST;
- Emergency maintenance;
- Any Force Majeure Event (as defined herein);

18. DATA MANAGEMENT AND DATA SECURITY; DISASTER RECOVERY
+MSI is dedicated to providing our customers with the best hosting and security available, by partnering with Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) and other market leading products to ensure your system is available to you 24/7/365 days a year. AWS is a “tier 4” data center solution, the highest level of reliability available.
18.1 Hosting / Data Center / Disaster Recovery (DR)
Through AWS, MSI offers scalable, reliable, and secure global computing infrastructure, the virtual backbone of the Amazon.com multibillion-dollar online business. AWS data centers are the “best of breed” for compliance and pass certifications all around the world. To review the latest compliancy, go to https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/
As of January 2018, MSI hosts its Meevo system within two Amazon data center regions (East Coast and West Coast, USA). Within these regions, Meevo is hosted in two data centers (availability zones) designed as primary and failover, to ensure it is always available when you need it.
18.2 Network Protection / Security
AWS utilizes an “end-to-end” approach to secure and harden MSI infrastructure, including physical, operational, and software measures. MSI follows AWS’s best practices for securing and protecting data and the data environment. MSI also uses enterprise-class security solutions to monitor traffic and to identify any unwanted probing from hackers. MSI seeks the highest level of network protection and security and has funded audits by two external companies, both returning a top rating.
18.3 Data Transmission and User Session
MSI Meevo SaaS software sends and receives all data though HTTPS / SSL (TLS 1.2, AES with 128-bit encryption (High); ECDH_P256 with 256-bit exchange) which means all data is sent and received through an encrypted channel, this means no unwanted parties (hackers) can see any of your information as it transverses the internet.
18.4 PCI-DSS and PII Compliancy
MSI’s Meevo solution is not in PCI-DSS scope. This means that no credit card information ever passes through Meevo. MSI provides the highest level of compliance and security a POS (point of sales) solution can obtain by using the newest breed of cloud credit card processing, which independently processes credit card information using a credit card terminal and a card processor cloud solution. To reduce risk with Personal Identifiable Information (“PII”), MSI stores only basic information about your customers and employees, such as name, address, phone, and email. MSI does not store birth dates, mother’s maiden names, or social security numbers.
18.5 Data Backups
Data is stored in multiple data centers and secured and encrypted at rest. Backups are made at 15-minute intervals to protect against data loss, and are archived and kept for one year.
18.6 Incident and Breach Reporting
Customer credit card information is not compromised in the event of a security data breach since credit card information is not stored within Meevo. All credit card information is securely hosted at a data warehouse administered through the acquirer and can only be accessed via a “token” stored within Meevo. MSI will notify you of any breach with detail of the incident.
19. MAINTENANCE OF SERVICES
+19.1 Changes in Service Functionality (Upgrades)
MSI will upgrade Recipient’s subscription to the latest version of MSI’s application (an “Upgrade Release”) after Upgrade is released to the general user population (“General Upgrade Release”);
MSI will notify Recipient of a General Upgrade Release;
MSI will also provide Recipient with Upgrade Release notes and updated API documentation specifying features and functionality affected by the Upgrade Release.
Upgrade and Update types include:
- Major Releases
- Minor Releases; and
- Maintenance Releases (also referred to as “Hot Fixes”)
A “Major Release,” also known as an “Upgrade”, is a generally available release of the Services that contains functional enhancements and extensions, fixes for high severity and high priority bugs.
A “Minor Release” is a generally available release of the Services that may introduce a limited number of new features, functionality and minor enhancements, fixes for high severity and high priority bugs identified in the current release.
A “Maintenance Release,” also known as an “Update”, is a generally available release of the Services that typically provides maintenance corrections only or high severity bug fixes.
MSI will deploy and notify Recipient of Upgrades, Updates & Maintenance Releases as follows:
MSI typically, but does not always, deploy Major and/or Minor Releases (Upgrades & Updates) on a quarterly basis. MSI will provide Recipient with fourteen (14) days advance email notice of scheduled Updates or Upgrades. MSI will provide exact dates and times of deployment in the body of the email. This information will also be available via the Meevo login screen (“Home Page”).
MSI deploys Maintenance Releases (Hot Fixes) as it deems necessary. MSI will only contact Recipient with regard to Maintenance Releases if Recipient is affected by the Maintenance Release, or, reported an issue to MSI involving the Maintenance Release.
MSI will communicate Upgrade and Update Releases to the contacts MSI has on file for the Recipient’s Account.
19.2 Immediate Maintenance Changes
MSI will perform Immediate Maintenance only when MSI deems it commercially unreasonable to defer the maintenance activities to the next Scheduled Maintenance Window (as hereinafter defined).
19.3 Scheduled Maintenance Window
MSI will perform scheduled maintenance within the “Scheduled Maintenance Window” (as hereinafter defined.)
MSI’s “Scheduled Maintenance Window” for the United States and Canada is: Monday - Sunday, 1:00 AM – 7:00 AM, Eastern Standard Time and 12:00 AM – 6:00 AM, Pacific Standard Time.
MSI’s “Scheduled Maintenance Window” for United Kingdom is Monday - Sunday, 12:00 AM – 6:00 AM, Greenwich Mean Time.
MSI will provide Recipient notice of a scheduled maintenance. The timing of a Scheduled Maintenance Window is determined based on Recipient’s “tenant” location. For purposes of this Agreement, “tenant” means Recipient’s shared cloud access point. For example, if a Recipient’s tenancy is west of Central Standard Time, Scheduled Maintenance will occur during Pacific Standard Time.
20. SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE SERVICES
+20.1 After Hours Support (Outside MSI Support Hours)
If Recipient requires support outside of MSI Support Center hours, MSI will be available at 973.402.8801 through the emergency option and will designate an Analyst who will return the Recipient’s call(s). The Fees for MSI’s After Hours Support are $50.00 per each 15 minute interval with an active support contract, or $75.00 per each 15 minute interval without an active support contract and are non-refundable. After Hours Support fees are billed in 15-minute minimum intervals.
20.2 Technical Support Hours (During Business Hours)
MSI Support Center Hours are Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
20.3 Incident Response Time
“Incident Response Time” is the duration of time from Recipient’s initial contact with MSI’s Support Center until MSI assigns an Incident Severity (as defined below) to Recipient’s issue.
20.4 Incident Resolution
An “Incident Resolution” occurs when the impact of the Incident ends, either because the root cause was fixed or MSI has provided an acceptable workaround.
20.5 Incident Severity
“Incident Severity” is a measure of the impact of an incident on the Recipient’s business processes if not resolved.
The Incident Severity of an incident will be mutually agreed upon by Recipient and MSI. Incident Severity levels are as follows:
- Severity 1 (Critical) – Total loss of system, or loss or degradation of service of system resulting in the Recipient being unable to complete key critical business transactions, including—interruptions processing “card present” and “card not-present” payments (not Credit Card Processor), accessing and updating customer information, membership billing, appointment booking (including employee scheduling impacting appointment book), and customer check-out.
- Severity 2 (High) – Loss of service of a business system or process that significantly impacts Recipient’s business operations, with no available or acceptable workaround.
- Severity 3 (Medium) – Loss of service of a business system or process that significantly impacts Recipient’s business operations, with an available or acceptable workaround that’s been communicated to the Recipient.
- Severity 4 (Low) – Little impact to any user of system, or a provided workaround is acceptable with little impact to any business process. The problem is not considered significant by the impacted party or parties.
20.6 Incident Resolution Time
“Incident Resolution Time” is the duration between Recipient’s initial contact with MSI and MSI’s communication and delivery of a resolution. The Incident Resolution Time begins at Recipient’s initial contact with an analyst from MSI’s Support Center and ends when MSI delivers a resolution to the Recipient.
20.7 Incident Status Report Interval
“Incident Status Report Interval” is an interval of time at which MSI shall report the status of any unresolved incident to Recipient. Status reports shall be provided via telephone to a teleconference number provided by Recipient or by email.
20.8 Preliminary Root Cause Identification Time
The “Preliminary Root Cause Identification Time” begins after incident resolution and ends when MSI provides an informal report of the root cause of an incident and the actions taken to achieve incident resolution.
20.9 Final Root Cause Determination Time
The “Final Root Cause Determination Time” begins after incident resolution and ends when MSI provides Recipient with a formal report of the root cause of an incident, the actions taken to achieve incident resolution, any actions taken to defect future recurrences of a similar incident and any actions taken to mitigate the recurrence of a similar incident.
20.10 Tier I Support Service
Tier I Support Services are the initial level of support, where trained MSI analysts endeavor to solve known issues and to fulfill service requests. If no resolution is available, analysts are required to escalated incidents to the next tier for additional data gathering, research and troubleshooting.
20.11 Tier II Support Service
Tier II Support Services involve more advanced technical knowledge and are provided by a staff of analysts who have troubleshooting experience that surpasses that of Tier I support analysts. If no resolution is available, Tier II support will escalate to the appropriate department, partner or vendor while facilitating an on-going dialogue with Recipient as progress towards any potential resolution warrants.
20.12 Tier III Support Service
Tier III Support Services requires involvement of technicians in either MSI’s IT, Product or Development departments to handle & solve complex issues escalated via Tier II support technicians. MSI’s respective departments will provide Tier 3 support services for the Meevo application in the event complex issues have been submitted via Tier II support technicians.

22. BACKUP AND RECOVERY OF YOUR DATA
+22.1 Data Security
MSI uses industry “best of breed” approaches to secure your data. Your data remains encrypted from the time it leaves your browser until it reaches our databases. We break down Data Security into multiple parts:
22.2 PCI Compliancy
MSI has collaborated with credit card processors to build a solution that is out of PCI scope. This means Meevo neither sees nor accesses credit card information at any time.
22.3 Personal Identifiable Information (PII)
Meevo only stores basic information about your customers. By default, we only ask for a name and an email address. We do not collect birth dates, Social Security Number, or any other identifiable data. You have the option to turn on additional fields to collect phone and address information, but we do not collect other PII.
22.4 Communication Security
All user authentication, credentials, and data use TLS 1.2 (Transport Layer Security). This prevents any “internet sniffer” from seeing your data as it travels across the internet.
22.5 Data at Rest
All your data stored on MSI servers (including database and backups) is encrypted. This means it is unreadable to hackers.
22.6 Authentication and Administration
You can limit employees’ access to Meevo to fit your specific business needs. You may limit access to only within your local Wi-Fi network to prevent off site access. All accounts you give your staff follow Service Organization Control (“SOC”) SOC 2 Type 2 Security rules, which require a strong password, new password every 90 days, and lockout after three bad attempts.
22.7 Roles and Authorization
To make your administration of Meevo easier when replacing or re-organizing staff, MSI offers “role-based” security, which means when someone leaves or needs to be added, you just need to add them to the roles that were created.
22.8 Access Control Granularity
Flexible user and role access lets you adjust permission to each feature down to the specific fields on the screen. You can make the controls hidden, read only, read/write, or “elevate”, which prompts a manager to approve.
22.9 Auditing Activity
If you have concerns about employees’ activities, MSI’s audit history feature will show you all employees’ actions within the system, step by step.
22.10 Monitoring and Alerting
We monitor the system 24/7/365 to alert our staff of any concerns. We will issue notices, to keep you apprised of any issues, and recommend resolutions whenever we are able.
22.11 MSI Use of Recipient Data
MSI does not share your data with any third parties. We do collect aggregate non-identifying high-level data for trend analysis, but we do not use identifiable data.
22.12 Security Scans – Network and Application
MSI received top scores from two, third-party audits of our environment. In addition, we continue to monitor our security environment through quarterly network and application penetration tests, which endeavor to limit or eliminate security holes in our service.
