OUTSTANDING AVAILABILITY

Our goal is to provide 24 x 7 availability of the system, and we are confident enough of our tier one data center that we offer subscription credits for availability below 99.8%. You receive a credit of 10% of your subscription fees for the month in which the outage event(s) occurred for every percentage point that Service Availability1 falls below 99.8%, up to a maximum of 50% of the applicable subscription fees for that month2. To receive a credit, you must submit a request to Intacct within 15 days after the month in which the Service Availability outage event(s) occurred. Any credit will be applied against subsequent monthly subscription fees due to Intacct. In addition, the performance of our data center is backed up by a complete disaster recovery program. In the event of a catastrophic earthquake or other major disaster in San Jose, California, Intacct customers will be up and running with full functionality in 24 hours out of the disaster recovery data center.

DATA SECURITY

Our tier one data center performs transaction log backups every 30 minutes and daily system-wide backups to tape and an offsite location. In addition, transaction backups are sent to the disaster recovery data center every 2 to 4 hours. Intacct commits that no more than 4 hours of a customer’s work could be lost in the case of a catastrophic event.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES QUALITY

Our goal is 100% satisfaction with the professional services provided by Intacct. To back up that goal, we are willing to place 10% of our professional services fees at risk to ensure customer satisfaction. Intacct agrees to provide the professional services as outlined and mutually agreed upon in the Project Scope Document on-time and on-budget. If we are not able to deliver the professional services outlined within the agreed to budget and timeline, provided that all prerequisites of the Project Scope Document are satisfied, we will forego payment of 10% of the applicable labor-based professional services fees. No questions asked.

Your data is your data, and we will not hold it hostage if you decide to move to another solution. We will help you move if you decide that a better solution exists for a nominal fee.

We will deliver accurate statements of activity and charges to you on a monthly basis. If there is a billing error brought to our attention, we will provide you a corrected statement within 3 days of the being notified of the error.

COMMUNICATION EXCELLENCE

Product development plans: We will provide you with a rolling 6-month view of our product roadmap and an opportunity to provide input and feedback on our development plans via a quarterly web-based meeting. We will notify you promptly if we encounter delays in delivering planned product features and provide you with a revised date for delivery.

New features: We will announce the availability of new features on the user home page and via the Intacct Update. We will also offer a monthly webinar to provide an overview of how to utilize recently released features.

Scheduled maintenance: We have published a weekly 2 hour scheduled maintenance window during non-peak, non-standard hours for system maintenance. If an extended maintenance period is required, the maintenance will be scheduled when it will have the least impact on our customers whenever possible (usually nights or weekends) not to exceed 8 hours per week. For extended maintenance periods, we will notify you 48 hours in advance via an email to your customer contact in addition to an announcement on the user home page.
