The Service Level Agreement below (“SLA”) supplements and amends the Terms of Service (“ToS”), available at https://ideanote.io/legal/terms. If there is any conflict between the SLA and the Terms of Service, the applicable terms in the SLA will prevail. Capitalized expressions not defined in the SLA have the meaning set out in the Terms of Service.
Ideanote provides certain guarantees for the availability of the Ideanote Service. This SLA describes the levels of Service availability and the support that the Customer can expect to receive from Ideanote for the duration of the Customer Agreement.
“Service Credit” means a Credit (as described in the Customer Agreement) denominated in US dollars, calculated as set forth below, that we may credit to an eligible Customer for future invoices. Service Credits cannot be exchanged for cash. Service Credits do not entitle the Customer to a refund or any other payment from Ideanote. Service Credits are not cumulative, that is, there shall only be a single Service Credits given for all Unavailabilities with a single cause.
“Unavailable” and “Unavailability” and “Unavailabilities” means when the Subdomain of a Customer is not reachable on an up-to-date version of a desktop or mobile Firefox, Edge, Internet Explorer or Chrome web browser due to Our fault.
“Monthly Uptime Percentage” means the calculation arrived at by subtracting from 100% the percentage of minutes during the month in which the Ideanote Web App Services were Unavailable. Monthly Uptime Percentage measurements exclude downtime resulting directly or indirectly from any SLA Exclusion (as defined below).
Customers who subscribe to Ideanote Plans covered by this SLA (set forth below) will be entitled to Credits for any Unavailability that fails to meet the Monthly Uptime Percentage. The SLA does not provide any uptime service commitment guarantees for Customers that are not on a paid Subscription of Ideanote.
“Outage” means the actual number of minutes the Ideanote Web App Service is Unavailable. “Subscription Price” is the monthly Subscription fee for the Customer on a given plan.
As an example calculation, an outage of 4 hours in a given Monthly Billing Period for a Customer on the Business Plan equals to (240 minutes - 43 minutes) = 197 minutes of creditable Outage. With 197m times the 20x acceleration ratio divided by a total of 43800 minutes in a month, the Customer is eligible for a Credit of 8.9% of his invoice for that month.
The monthly uptime percentage, the resulting allowed Outage, the Acceleration Ratio and maximum Service Credit by percentage of invoice for each covered Ideanote Plan is as follows:
No commitment.
Monthly Uptime Percentage: 99.9%
Allowed Outage: 43 minutes
Acceleration Ratio: x20
Credit Cap: 50% of Invoice
Monthly Uptime Percentage: 99.99%
Allowed Outage: 4 minutes
Acceleration Ratio: x100
Credit Cap: 100% of Invoice
Ideanote is not responsible for failures caused by factors not in Ideanote’s control including but not limited to failures caused by:
To apply for a Service Credit, the customer must submit a claim by emailing hello@ideanote.io within thirty (30) days of the month in which the Unavailable Time occurred. The ticket must include (i) "SLA Claim" as the subject of the ticket; (ii) the dates and times of the Unavailable time for which you are requesting a Service Credit; and (iii) any applicable information that documents the claimed outage for the given Customer, cleared of any sensitive information that Customer wishes to remain confidential.
In order for a Customer to be eligible to receive a Service Credit under this SLA, the Customer must (1) use the latest version of the Ideanote Web App, (2) make sure that they are using up-to-date Firefox, Chrome, Edge or Internet Explorer web browsers.
Service Credit will be applied to the invoice following the Billing Period that the Service Credit was accrued. A pending Service Credit does not release a Customer from its obligation to pay Ideanote invoices submitted for payment in full when due.
If the Monthly Uptime Percentage of such a request is confirmed by us and is less than the Service Commitment, then we will issue the Service Credit to you within one billing cycle following the month in which your request is confirmed by us. Your failure to provide the request and other information as required above will disqualify you from receiving a Service Credit.
Unless otherwise provided in the ToS, your sole and exclusive remedy for any Unavailability, non-performance, or other failure by us to provide the Services is the receipt of a Service Credit (if eligible) in accordance with the terms of this SLA.
Effective support of in-scope services is a result of maintaining consistent service levels. The following sections provide relevant details on service availability, monitoring of in-scope services and related components that we are committed to serve to our Customers on the paid Enterprise plans.

In support of Services, Ideanote will respond to service related incidents and/or requests submitted by Customers on the Enterprise plan within the following time frames:
Ideanote’s core business revolves around a Software-as-a-Service platform. Availability of the platform needs to be ensured.
Ideanote’s RTO is 1 hour. A recovery time objective (RTO) is the maximum acceptable length of time that the Ideanote application can be offline.
Ideanote’s RPO is 24 hours. A recovery point objective (RPO) is the maximum acceptable length of time during which data might be lost from the application due to a major incident. This metric varies based on the ways that the data is used. For example, user data that are frequently modified could have an RPO of just a few minutes. In contrast, less critical, infrequently modified data could have an RPO of several hours. This metric describes only the length of time; it doesn't address the amount or quality of the data that's lost.
Ideanote’s MTPOD is 8 days. A Maximum Tolerable Period of Down Time (MTPOD) is defined as the duration after which an organization’s viability will be irrevocably threatened if product or service delivery cannot be resumed.
