Service Level Agreement

Last updated: January 4, 2025

This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") governs the use of Hectares.ai services under the terms of the Hectares.ai Terms of Service between Agridev Inc ("Hectares.ai", "us" or "we") and users of Hectares.ai services ("you"). This SLA applies separately to each account using Hectares.ai services.

Note: This SLA applies to paid subscription plans only. Free tier accounts are provided on an "as-is" basis without uptime guarantees.

Service Commitment

Hectares.ai will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage of at least 99.9% during any monthly billing cycle.

Monthly Uptime Calculation

Monthly Uptime Percentage = (Total Minutes in Month - Downtime Minutes) / Total Minutes in Month × 100

Example: In a 30-day month (43,200 minutes), 99.9% uptime allows for up to 43.2 minutes of downtime.

Service Credits

If we fail to meet the Service Commitment, you will be eligible for Service Credits:

Monthly Uptime PercentageService Credit
99.0% - 99.9%10% of monthly fee
95.0% - 99.0%25% of monthly fee
Below 95.0%50% of monthly fee

Service Credits are calculated as a percentage of the total charges paid by you for the affected service month and will be applied to future invoices.

Credit Request Process

To receive Service Credits, you must submit a claim by:

  1. Emailing support@hectares.ai within 30 days after the end of the month in which the downtime occurred

  3. Providing:
    • Your account ID and organization name
    • Dates and times of unavailability
    • Affected services or features
