Service Level Specifications
Last updated: March 2023
1 Introduction
These SLS concern the availability, processing times, maintenance and support for the Services provided by the Service Provider; in particular the software platform, including any associated products, provided by the Service Provider as Software as a Service (SaaS) in the context of the Cloud Services (the «Software»). Any terms defined in the Service Provider’s Main Services Agreement («MSA») and used in these SLS have the same meaning.
2 Our Commitment
Malfunctions and interruptions in the availability of the Software unfortunately cannot be completely ruled out, even with the requisite diligence. However, we are constantly striving to provide our Users with a flawless UX and to avoid malfunctions and interruptions in availability, or, if this is not possible, to remedy them quickly. These SLS do not convey any warranty rights or entitlement thereto; they are merely indicative.
3 Service Levels
Operating Time. As a rule, the Software can be used continuously (24 hours a day) for 365 or 366 days a year. This excludes the time between 0:00 and 04:00 Central European Time (CET) at night, in which maintenance, backups or updates may be carried out, as well as other periods where maintenance work is necessary.
Availability. The Service Provider endeavors to ensure that the Services and Products are available for at least 98% of the operating time («Uptime»). This does not include disruptions beyond the Service Provider’s control. Availability is assessed on a monthly basis, whereby the so-called «system availability» is relevant.
Error Tolerance. The Service Provider endeavors to ensure that live campaigns are accessible and functional for at least 99.8% of the players. This does not include errors that are beyond the control of the Service Provider (e.g. old browser versions). In edge case scenarios troubleshooting is at the sole discretion of the Service Provider. There is no claim to access and functionality to this extent or troubleshooting.
Inquiries. Inquiries from paying Users are assigned to the categories listed in the table below. Inquiries are processed during the following time periods: Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 12:00 and 13:30 to 17:00 (CET). Category 1 incidents are also processed outside these hours. Troubleshooting is usually done in the form of bugfix releases or in another suitable way.
Category | Characteristics | Reaction/Remediation | |
1 | Critical | Disruption preventing operations (the entire system or relevant parts of it are fully disabled) | 2h (during work week), 8h (on weekends)/1.5 working days |
2 | High | Disruption hindering or endangering operations (parts of the system are disabled, but continued operations are possible) | 4h/3 working days |
3 | Medium | Disruption interfering with operations or irritating disruption | 8h/to be agreed on |
4 | Low | Any other inquiries (general information) | 72h/to be agreed on |
Basic Support. For paying Users, the following services are included in the ordered package:
- User onboarding for the deployment and use of the ordered Services, the scope of the onboarding services being at the discretion of the Service Provider;

- Responding to inquiries, subject to the Service Provider’s sole discretion.
