C. Injunctive Relief. If either party breaches Sections 6 (Ownership) or 8 (Confidentiality), the other party may suffer irreparable harm, and monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate the non-breaching party. Accordingly, either party may, in addition to any other remedies available, seek injunctive or other equitable relief in response to any such breach.
D. Assignment. Customer may not assign its rights or delegate its performance under this Agreement without Glyde’s prior written consent, and any attempt to do so is null and void.

Exhibit A
Glyde SERVICE LEVELS
All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit A have the meanings given in the Client Services Agreement between the parties.
1. Definitions.
A. “Available” or “Availability” means the ability to access and use the Services.
B. “Excused Downtime” means when the Services are not Available due to: (1) Scheduled Maintenance; (2) Customer’s use of the Services in violation of the Agreement; (3) failures of Customer’s internet connectivity or Customer’s equipment, services, systems, or other technology (excluding the Services); (4) failures of Glyde’s third-party service providers (e.g., AWS, Heroku, etc.); or (5) a Force Majeure Event.
C. “Scheduled Maintenance” means any scheduled outages or downtime for maintenance, upgrades, enhancements, or changes to the Services.
D. “Service Interruption” means that the Services are not Available.
2. Support.
During Glyde’s standard business hours, Glyde will use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to Customer and its Authorized Users qualified personnel knowledgeable in the Services via telephone numbers and/or email addresses designated by Glyde from time to time to:
(A) provide advice on the configuration and use of the Services;
(B) respond to Service Interruptions and error reporting; and
(C) troubleshoot other issues relating to the Services.
3. Availability.
During the Order Term, Glyde will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at least 99.5% of the time as measured on a monthly basis, excluding Excused Downtime (the “Availability Requirement”). Glyde will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of any Scheduled Maintenance, which may be done via email, or via the Services. Scheduled Maintenance will be performed during a maintenance window expected to least disturb Customer’s Authorized Users where possible.
A. Services are considered “unavailable” when no Authorized Users can log in to the Services.
B. Availability in a particular month will be calculated as follows:
a = [(b - c) - d] x 100 / (b - c)
"a" = the percentage of Availability in such month;
"b" = the total number of hours in such month;
"c" = the total number of Excused Downtime hours in such month; and
"d" = the total number of hours the Services are unavailable for reasons other than Excused Downtime in such month.
4. Service Credits.
If Glyde fails to meet the Availability Requirement in any given calendar month, Customer notifies Glyde of such failure within 24 hours of the end of the month, and Glyde confirms the failure, Glyde will provide Customer a credit to Customer’s account equal to 2.5% of the fees paid by Customer attributable to the month in with the failure occurred (each, a “Service Credit”) per incident that caused the service failure. An incident is only eligible for a Service Credit if the incident lasts more than 45 consecutive minutes. Accrued Service Credits may be applied to a future purchase or amount owing only. Service Credits may not be redeemed for cash payments. Service Credits will not exceed, in the aggregate, more than one week of Fees in any one calendar month.
5. Sole and Exclusive Remedy.
Service Credits constitute Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for Glyde’s failure to meet the Availability Requirement or otherwise to conform to the exhibit requirements of this EA.
B. Non-Solicitation. During the Term and for three years thereafter, Customer will not directly or indirectly solicit for employment or otherwise induce, influence, or encourage any employee or contractor of Glyde to terminate their engagement with Glyde. This Section 16.B will apply solely to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
C. Injunctive Relief. If either party breaches Sections 6 (Ownership) or 8 (Confidentiality), the other party may suffer irreparable harm, and monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate the non-breaching party. Accordingly, either party may, in addition to any other remedies available, seek injunctive or other equitable relief in response to any such breach.
D. Assignment. Customer may not assign its rights or delegate its performance under this Agreement without Glyde’s prior written consent, and any attempt to do so is null and void. Glyde may assign its rights or delegate its performance under this Agreement without Customer’s consent. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties’ permitted successors and assigns.
E. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
F. No Waiver. Neither party will be treated as having waived any rights by not exercising (or delaying the exercise of) any rights under this Agreement.
G. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any Service Orders, Service Specific Terms and SOWs and any and all exhibits, documents and policies attached or referenced herein or therein, whether by URL or otherwise) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes any other agreement of the parties relating to its subject matter. No usage of trade or other regular practice or method of dealing between the parties will be used to modify, interpret, or supplement the terms of this Agreement.
H. Amendment. No amendment to or modification of or rescission, termination, or discharge of this Agreement is effective unless it is in writing, identified as an amendment to or rescission, termination, or discharge of this Agreement and signed by an authorized representative of each party. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement will operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
I. Relationship. The parties are independent contractors of each other. Each party is responsible for instructing and managing its employees and personnel. This Agreement does not create any agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between the parties.
J. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
K. Notices.
