7. Availability
7.1. Availability. Licensor uses commercially reasonable efforts to maintain availability of the SaaS twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, less Scheduled Downtime, in accordance with Licensor’s policies. Licensor commits to achieve 99.5% Uptime on a monthly basis, less the Exclusions described above.

In the event of a major default, Subscriber is entitled to a Service Credit equal to five (5) days of SaaS fees, based on the monthly SaaS fees paid. Any Service Credits issued to Subscriber will be applied towards the next billing period applicable to Subscriber or otherwise as agreed between the Parties. Except to the extent provided in Section 7.2, the Service Credits issued under this Section will be the Subscriber’s sole and exclusive remedy for the default event giving rise to the Service Credit.
7.2. Defaults.

7.3. Downtime. Scheduled Downtime and unscheduled interruptions may occur, and Licensor does not warrant uninterrupted availability of the SaaS. Normal software or hardware upgrades are scheduled for nights and weekends, Pacific Standard Time, and intended to cause a minimum amount of interruption to SaaS availability. In the event that an unscheduled interruption occurs, Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the problem and return the SaaS to availability as soon as practical. During such Scheduled Downtime and unscheduled interruptions, Subscriber may be unable to transmit and receive data through the SaaS. Subscriber agrees to cooperate with Licensor during the Scheduled Downtime and unscheduled interruptions if assistance from Subscriber is necessary in order to restore the SaaS to working order.
7.4. Exclusions. The Exclusions defined above shall be excluded from the calculation of Uptime.
7.5. Changes. In addition to Scheduled Downtime, Licensor may also temporarily restrict Subscriber’s access to parts of the SaaS for necessary, unplanned maintenance or system administration purposes without notice or liability.

The Agreement may be terminated by either Party (a) upon a material breach by the other Party, provided that, in each instance of a claimed breach: (i) the nonbreaching Party notifies the breaching Party in writing of such breach; and (ii) the breaching Party fails to either cure such breach within thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice; or (b) upon insolvency of or the filing of bankruptcy by the other Party, if permitted by law.

8.4. Liquidated Damages. If this Agreement is terminated before the end of its then current term for any reason other than by Subscriber under Subsections 7.2 or 8.2, then Subscriber will pay to Licensor as liquidated damages the amount due by Subscriber for the previous calendar month times the number of months remaining in such Subscription Term (“Liquidated Damages”) within 30 days after such termination. The Parties agree that the Liquidated Damages under this clause are not intended to be and will not be punitive in effect and that the Liquidated Damages are a genuine pre-estimate of loss (which may be difficult to ascertain) resulting from early termination of this Agreement. Notwithstandinganything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Subscriber receives any notice of late payment under this Agreement in any form, written or electronic, from Licensor including any business division (e.g., Licensor’s Credit Department), such notice will be deemed to be a Notice of Breach.
