SAASINTEGRATOR AGREEMENT
By engaging SAASINTEGRATOR for integration scoping services, the CLIENT agrees to these terms and conditions. This agreement ensures a clear understanding between SAASINTEGRATOR and the client, aiming for a successful partnership and the effective realization of the integration project.
ENGAGEMENT OF SERVICES:
CLIENT hereby permits the SAASINTEGRATOR to render, and SAASINTEGRATOR agrees to render to CLIENT, all the services specified in writing and agreed between them by this document and all associated validly signed agreements (being Proposals, Modnotes contract and amended contracts) regarding its subject matter (collectively ‘Contract’). The CLIENT and SAASINTEGRATOR are collectively the ‘Parties’.
ACCEPTANCE OF CONTRACT:
All potential forms of signature shall be governed by this CONTRACT including, but not limited to, checking the agreement to “terms of service” box, written signature on individual project agreements, electronic signatures, faxed signatures, scanned and emailed signatures. A CONTRACT is only amended if SAASINTEGRATOR specifically mentions in a written communication that the Contract is amended or that a modification note (‘ModNote’) or Proposal has been agreed. For the avoidance of doubt, unilateral emails from the CLIENT are not sufficient to form or alter a Contract.
PAYMENT & BILLING TERMS:
CLIENT hereby agrees to pay the fees in price and schedule as listed on the Contract completed by CLIENT or in the proposal submitted to CLIENT. CLIENT hereby grants permission for SAASINTEGRATOR to charge CLIENT’s credit, debit card or bank account on file according to the price and schedule listed on the Contract or proposal every month for the amount agreed to as the monthly spend under the Contract. If the invoiced budget is a one-time charge then no monthly charge will apply. Monthly payments will be put on auto-bill and will automatically be charged to the credit card on file on the same day every month as the first payment date made.
CLIENT agrees to pay upon execution of this Contract. SAASINTEGRATOR reserves the right to stop work until payment is made. Should collection activities become necessary, CLIENT agrees to pay all fees relating to said collection activities. SAASINTEGRATOR reserves the right to add late fees at the rate of the Victorian Penalty Interest Rate plus 2%.
INTEGRATION SCOPING:
SAASINTEGRATOR agrees to provide comprehensive documentation and a functional prototype for the requested integration project. This documentation will detail the integration process, the functionalities to be integrated, and any specific requirements or configurations needed.
In instances where the integration cannot be completed due to limitations, restrictions, or changes in third-party APIs or platforms, SAASINTEGRATOR will not be held liable. Given the nature of software integration, dependencies on third-party services can pose unforeseen challenges that are beyond the control of SAASINTEGRATOR.
Due to the nature of the work involved in scoping and prototype development, SAASINTEGRATOR will not issue refunds should the integration not proceed due to third-party API limitations or any other reasons beyond SAASINTEGRATOR's control.
Should the client decide to proceed with the final implementation of the integration solution as scoped and prototyped by SAASINTEGRATOR, the full scoping fee will be credited to the client. This credit is applicable only towards the final implementation cost of the integration project as quoted by SAASINTEGRATOR.
The client is responsible for providing accurate and complete information regarding their integration needs, including but not limited to, access to necessary accounts, detailed descriptions of desired functionalities, and timely feedback on the documentation and prototype provided.
Any changes to the scope of the integration project requested by the client after the initial agreement may result in additional charges. SAASINTEGRATOR will provide a revised quote and timeline for any such changes requested.
Proceeding with the final implementation of the integration solution will require a separate agreement outlining the project’s full scope, timeline, costs, and any other terms relevant to the project's completion.
SEVERANCE:
If any provision or part-provision of the Contract is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this clause shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the Contract.
SUSPENSION OF SERVICE:

SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT (SLA) FOR UPTIME
Guarantee - SAASINTEGRATOR guarantees that its Services will be available and accessible for use for at least 99% of the time ("Uptime")
Uptime Calculation The Uptime percentage is calculated by subtracting the total minutes of service unavailability (excluding the exclusions mentioned in this agreement) from the total minutes in a calendar month. The resulting figure is then divided by the total minutes in the month and multiplied by 100.
Scheduled Maintenance During scheduled maintenance windows, which will be communicated to the Customer at least 48 hours in advance, the Services may be temporarily unavailable. These maintenance periods are intended to optimize the performance and reliability of the Services.
Unscheduled Maintenance with Notice In cases of unscheduled maintenance that may impact service availability, SAASINTEGRATOR will provide the Customer with reasonable notice. This notice will include the nature of the maintenance and the expected duration of any potential service interruption.
Beta Phase Exclusion For the initial three weeks following the launch of the Services, also known as the Beta phase, the uptime guarantee will not apply. This period allows for necessary adjustments and refinements to the Services based on initial usage and feedback.
Factors Outside SAASINTEGRATOR's Control Unavailability of the Services that can be attributed to factors beyond SAASINTEGRATOR's reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of nature, network issues, or third-party actions, are excluded from the uptime calculation and the SLA.
SLA Revisions SAASINTEGRATOR retains the right to review and modify this SLA periodically. Any changes will be communicated to the Customer in advance.
Compensation for Breach In the event that SAASINTEGRATOR fails to meet the stipulated uptime guarantee, the Customer may be eligible for a service credit as compensation. The service credit will be calculated based on the percentage of uptime not met and will be applied to the Customer's next billing cycle.
Limitation This SLA does not apply to service interruptions caused by Customer's misuse or misconfiguration of the Services, Customer's infrastructure or equipment, or any other factors not within SAASINTEGRATOR's direct control.
By utilizing SAASINTEGRATOR's Services, the Customer acknowledges and accepts the terms set forth in this Uptime Service Level Agreement. This SLA aims to provide transparency about the uptime commitments and the measures SAASINTEGRATOR will take to ensure a reliable and consistent service experience.
