24/7/365 SLA Extension
Updated: May 20, 2026
This 24/7/365 Service Level Agreement Extension (the "Extension") is incorporated into and forms part of the SkillsDB Software Services Agreement and the applicable Order Form (together, the "Agreement") between SkillsDB Inc. ("SkillsDB") and the Customer. The Extension applies only where (a) Customer has purchased the 24/7/365 SLA Extension on an Order Form and (b) Customer's Subscription Tier is Enterprise+. Where this Extension and the SkillsDB Standard SLA conflict, this Extension governs for the Services it covers; all non-conflicting terms of the Standard SLA continue to apply.
This Extension is the contractual basis for SkillsDB's Enterprise+ around-the-clock support offering. Standard tier support commitments are governed by the Standard SLA. Pricing and procurement are handled through Order Form; talk to Sales for details.

Application of Credit. Customer must notify SkillsDB within thirty (30) days from the time Customer becomes eligible to receive Service Level Credits. Failure to comply with this requirement will forfeit Customer's right to receive a Service Level Credit. Service Level Credits for a single calendar month will be applied against the next invoice.
