If you activate portions of Percepticon services which allow content to be collected in your account, or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) material available by means of the Service (any such material, "Content"), you are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content. That is the case regardless of whether the Content in question constitutes text, graphics, an audio file, or computer software. By making Content available, you represent and warrant that:

This SLA is between Percepticon Corporation ("Percepticon") and each user of the Services ("Customer"). Unless otherwise indicated herein, this SLA is subject to the provisions of the Percepticon Terms of Service ("Terms"). This SLA applies separately to each Percepticon Service.

- Service unavailability caused by scheduled maintenance.
- Service unavailability caused by application vulnerabilities or bugs
- Service unavailability with Service solutions that have been recommended for or are pending major upgrade
- Service unavailability caused by events outside of the direct control of Percepticon, its providers, vendors, or subcontractor(s), including any force majeure event, unavailability of Customer systems, general Internet failures, and the failure of any other technology or equipment used to connect to or access the service.
- Service Credit: An account credit may be issued if Percepticon does not meet the Availability for a given month of Service. Upon approval of a claim, at our sole discretion, we will issue a Service credit of 5% of the applicable monthly fee to the Customer account.
