1.4 Service Level Objective (SLO)
This SLA defines a set of SLOs with performance targets, representing the minimum service levels that Flowpass commits to fulfilling each calendar quarter during the contract term.

Scheduled Downtime refers to planned periods when FPP is unavailable for routine upgrades or maintenance. This does not include urgent security patches, which may be applied without prior notice.
1.6 Disaster
A Disaster is any catastrophic event (e.g., fire, flood, cyber-attack) that renders FPP completely inaccessible or unusable.
1.7 Disaster Recovery
Disaster Recovery is restoring FPP to operational status after a Disaster.
1.8 Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
The RTO is the maximum estimated time to restore FPP operations following a Disaster.
1.9 Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
The RPO is the maximum allowable period of data loss (in hours) following a Disaster.
1.10 Incident
An Incident is an event that disrupts or degrades the quality of FPP, ranging from complete system outages to configuration errors.
1.11 Priority
Incident priority is based on urgency and impact, determining how quickly a resolution is needed.
1.12 Working Day
Flowpass' working hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM CET (UTC +1), excluding Swedish public holidays.
1.13 Working Hour
A Working Hour is any one hour within a Working Day.

2. Introduction
This SLA defines the performance standards Flowpass commits to maintaining for its SaaS platform and related services.
The SLO targets have been established based on industry standards and internal performance analysis. These targets are practical and achievable, ensuring efficiency and reliability.
To maintain operational consistency, Flowpass applies standardized targets across all Clients. This document may be updated to enhance SLOs, but existing commitments will not be weakened or withdrawn during an active contract term.
This SLA applies only to Clients who have purchased relevant services. Unrelated SLOs should be disregarded.
3. Availability & Performance
3.1 Availability Definition
Availability measures the percentage of time FPP is accessible and functioning correctly, excluding:
- Failures beyond Flowpass' control (e.g., Client’s, LAN, or device issues)
- Scheduled Downtime
- Security patching downtime
- Pre-agreed maintenance periods
- Disaster Recovery periods (until complete service restoration)
An independent third-party provider measures availability.
3.2 Availability Metrics
- Minimum Availability per Calendar Quarter: 99%
- Maximum Scheduled Downtime per Month (Annual Average): 8 hours
3.3 Performance Metrics
- Maximum Average Page Load Time per Calendar Quarter: 4 seconds
3.4 Scheduled Downtime Notification Periods
- Downtime ≤ 8 hours: Minimum three working days advance notice
- Downtime > 8 hours: Minimum one calendar month advance notice
3.5 Disaster Recovery Targets
- RTO (Full System Restoration): 72 hours
- RPO (Maximum Data Loss): 4 hours
3.6 Penalties for Downtime
If Flowpass fails to meet the agreed Minimum Availability per Calendar Quarter (99%), the Client is entitled to Cliente credits as compensation:
- Availability between 98.99% and 97% → 5% of the monthly subscription fee credited
- Availability between 96.99% and 95% → 10% of the monthly subscription fee credited
- Availability below 95% → 20% of the monthly subscription fee credited
Clients must submit a written claim within 30 days of the end of the affected quarter to receive service credits. These credits do not apply if downtime results from Force Majeure events, Client-side issues, or third-party provider failures outside Flowpass's control.
4. Escalation Process
If a Client is dissatisfied with the service levels, they should:
- Contact their assigned Customer Success Manager.
- If unresolved, escalate the issue to the CEO of Flowpas
5. Service Level Reporting
Flowpass produces quarterly Service Level Reports upon request. These reports will be discussed in meetings to review service-level failures and agree on remedial actions to prevent recurrence.
