This Service Level Agreement (hereinafter "SLA") is governed by the SPoTS License Agreement and augmented by the LegendSoft, Inc. Privacy Policy. It identifies the agreed upon services that
will be provided for the on-line SPoTS Application (hereinafter "Service") in order to ensure
that the Service is reliable, secure and available to meet the needs of You (hereinafter "Customer").
Definitions
Unavailable - subject to Section 3 (below), the Service
behaves in such a fashion that the Service does not respond to requests from any Customer or responds
in such a fashion that no Customer is able to effectively use the Service.
Outage - a period of time in which the Service is Unavailable outside of the times defined
in the section 2 below entitled Scheduled Service Unavailability.
1. Availability
LegendSoft Inc.'s goal is to make the Service free of Outages 100% of the time.
In the event of an Outage and subject to Section 3 below, LegendSoft will, upon Customer request, extend any of
Customer's Licenses that had not expired at the time of the Outage by the term corresponding to the
schedule below:

more than 4 hours

1 day for each 4 hour period
(rounded up to the next 4 hours)

For example, if the Service were unavailable for 23 consecutive hours, each of Customer's valid licenses active at the
time of the outage, could be extended by 6 days.
2. Scheduled Service Unavailability
The scheduled maintenance windows for the Service are as follows:
-
Weekly on each Tuesday morning from 3 A.M. until 5 A.M. Eastern time.

advanced notice of said period. Scheduled periods of unavailability are posted on the Service
web site at

During these maintenance windows, the Customer may continue to use the Service.

the Service.
