That service level is divided into 2 areas:

The General Service Level is granted to all of Sales Layer's Customers.Any Product-Specific Service Level is applied to each product purchased by the Customer under an Order Form. This SLA specifies the Product-Specific Service Levels available in Appendix A. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, the SLA shall come into force upon the execution of the first Order Form and the entry by the parties into the SaaS Terms and it shall apply to all current and future contract relationships between Sales Layer and the Customer.If there is any conflict or inconsistency, the following order of priority shall apply such that a term contained in a higher document on the list shall take precedence over a term contained in a lower document on the list:

  • The Order Form.

  • The SaaS Terms.
