Service Level Agreement (SLA)

Last updated: April 12, 2026

1. Service Commitment

The Email Experience ("E/X", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to providing reliable integration services to our customers. This Service Level Agreement (SLA) describes the uptime commitment we make to our paid subscription customers and the remedies available if we fail to meet that commitment.

2. Uptime Guarantee

99% Monthly Uptime Commitment: We guarantee that our integration services will be available and operational 99% of the time each calendar month. This translates to a maximum of approximately 7.2 hours of allowed downtime per month.

"Uptime" is defined as the period during which our integration services are accessible and functional for normal use. Downtime is measured from the moment we detect a service disruption until service is fully restored.

3. SLA Exclusions

This SLA does not apply to service disruptions caused by:

  • Third-party service failures (Narvar API, Attentive API, Stripe, Supabase, Vercel, or other infrastructure providers)
  • Customer misconfigurations, invalid API credentials, or incorrect integration settings
  • Scheduled maintenance windows (with 48-hour advance notice)
  • Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, security incidents, or other malicious activities
  • Force majeure events (natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, government actions)
  • Network or system failures outside of our direct control
  • Customer's internet service provider or network connectivity issues
  • Beta features, preview services, or features marked as "experimental"

4. Service Credits

4.1 Credit Calculation

If we fail to meet our 99% monthly uptime commitment, you are eligible for service credits calculated as follows:

Monthly Uptime PercentageService Credit
99% or aboveNo credit
98% - 98.99%7% of monthly subscription fee
97% - 97.99%14% of monthly subscription fee
96% - 96.99%21% of monthly subscription fee
Below 96%28% of monthly subscription fee

4.2 Claiming Service Credits

To receive a service credit, you must submit a request within 30 calendar days of the end of the month in which the SLA violation occurred. Credit requests should be sent to support@experience.email with:

  • Your account email address
  • The month during which the downtime occurred
  • A description of the service disruption you experienced
  • Documentation or logs demonstrating the downtime (if available)

4.3 Credit Limitations

Service credits are your sole and exclusive remedy for SLA violations. Credits are issued as account balance and may be applied to future subscription fees. Credits cannot be redeemed for cash. The maximum total credit for any single monthly billing period shall not exceed 28% of that month's subscription fee.

5. Support Response Times

We provide support services during business hours (Monday-Friday, 9 AM - 6 PM EST, excluding US holidays) with the following response time commitments:

Critical (P1): Complete service outage affecting all integrations
Response Time: 2 hours
High (P2): Degraded performance or partial service disruption
Response Time: 8 hours
Normal (P3): Questions, feature requests, non-urgent issues
Response Time: 24 hours

"Response time" means the time from when you submit a support ticket to when a member of our support team acknowledges receipt and begins investigating. Resolution time varies based on complexity and is not guaranteed under this SLA.

6. Scheduled Maintenance

We may occasionally perform scheduled maintenance on our services. We will provide at least 48 hours advance notice via email or dashboard notification for any planned maintenance that may affect service availability.

Scheduled maintenance windows are excluded from uptime calculations. We strive to perform maintenance during off-peak hours (late night/early morning EST) to minimize customer impact.

7. Monitoring and Measurement

We continuously monitor our services using automated health checks and alerting systems. Uptime is calculated monthly using the following formula:

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

Downtime is measured in minute-level granularity. Partial minutes are rounded up to the nearest minute. Monitoring data is retained for 12 months for audit and dispute resolution purposes.

8. Third-Party Dependencies

Our integration services depend on the availability and performance of third-party platforms including:

  • Narvar: Shipment tracking data source and API
  • Attentive: SMS and email marketing platform (data destination)
  • Stripe: Payment processing and subscription billing
  • Supabase: Database and authentication infrastructure
  • Vercel: Application hosting and edge network

Disruptions to these third-party services may impact our ability to provide integration services. While we monitor third-party service health and work to route around failures where possible, extended third-party outages are excluded from our SLA commitments.

9. SLA Modifications

We reserve the right to modify this SLA at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or dashboard notification at least 30 days before taking effect. Continued use of our services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the modified SLA.

Current customers may request a copy of the SLA version in effect at the time of their subscription for their records.
