The indemnification obligations under this Section 6 are expressly conditioned upon the indemnified party’s compliance with this Section 6.4 except that failure to notify the indemnifying party of such Claim shall not relieve that party of its obligations under this Section 6 but such Claim shall be reduced to the extent of any damages attributable to such failure.

Service Level Commitment
Schedule I
SERVICE LEVEL COMMITMENT FOR SUBSCRIBERS OF BRAX
Brax commits to provide 99% uptime with respect to the Customer’s Service during each month of the Term, excluding regularly scheduled maintenance times.
If in any month this uptime commitment is not met by Brax and Customer was negatively impacted (i.e., attempted to log into or access the Service and failed due to the unscheduled downtime of the Service), Brax shall provide, as the sole and exclusive remedy, a service credit equal to one month’s fee for the use of the Service.
Scheduled and Unscheduled Maintenance
Regularly scheduled maintenance time does not count as downtime. Maintenance time is regularly scheduled if it is communicated in accordance with the notice section set forth below at least two full business days in advance of the maintenance time. Regularly scheduled maintenance time typically is communicated at least two days in advance, scheduled to occur at night, and takes less than 10-15 hours each quarter.
Brax in its sole discretion may take the Service down for unscheduled maintenance and in that event will attempt to notify customer in advance in accordance with the Notice section set forth below. Such unscheduled maintenance will be counted against the uptime guarantee.
Credit Request
In order to receive a credit under this service level commitment, Customer must request it simply by emailing Brax at accounting@brax.io, within five days of the end of the applicable month. If Customer submits a credit request and does not receive a prompt automated response indicating that the request was received, Customer must resubmit the request because the submission was not properly received and will not result in a credit. Customers who are past due or in default with respect to any payment or any material contractual obligations to Brax are not eligible for any credit under this Service Level Commitment. The service credit is valid for up to one year from the month for which the credit was issued. Brax shall calculate any service level downtime using Brax’s system logs and other records.
Updates/Notice
This Service Level Commitment may be amended by Brax in its discretion but only after providing thirty days advance notice. Notices will be sufficient if provided to a user designated as an administrator of your Brax account either: (a) as a note on the screen presented immediately after completion of the log in authentication credentials at the log in screen, or (b) by email to the registered email address provided for the administrator(s) for Customer’s account.
Exclusion of Sandbox and Beta Accounts
Brax Sandbox, Beta and debugger accounts and other test environments are expressly excluded from this or any other service level commitment.
