Service Level Agreement (SLA)

Last updated: March 15, 2026

This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") is a policy governing the use of Skode CRM and Skode Flow services ("Services") provided by Skode Technologies ("Skode," "we," "us," or "our") to customers under the Terms of Service. This SLA applies to all paid subscription plans unless otherwise specified in a separate enterprise agreement.

1. Service Availability

Skode commits to a monthly uptime target of 99.9% for the Services ("Uptime Commitment"). This means that in any given calendar month, the Services will be available and operational for at least 99.9% of the total minutes in that month.

The Uptime Commitment applies to the core platform functionality, including CRM data access, lead and deal management, invoicing, AI features, and the Flow messaging platform.

2. Scheduled Maintenance Windows

To ensure optimal performance and security, Skode performs scheduled maintenance during the following windows:

  • Primary Maintenance Window: Sundays, 02:00 AM to 06:00 AM UTC.
  • Secondary Maintenance Window: Wednesdays, 02:00 AM to 04:00 AM UTC (used only when necessary).

We will provide at least 72 hours' advance notice for scheduled maintenance via email, the in-app notification center, and our status page at status.skodeai.com. Emergency maintenance (security patches, critical fixes) may occur outside these windows with as much advance notice as reasonably possible.

Scheduled maintenance windows are excluded from uptime calculations.

3. Uptime Calculation

Monthly uptime percentage is calculated as follows:

Uptime % = ((Total Minutes in Month - Downtime Minutes) / Total Minutes in Month) x 100

"Downtime" means any period during which the Services are materially unavailable, as measured by our internal monitoring systems. A period of downtime begins when Skode confirms an incident affecting service availability and ends when the Services are restored.

Downtime does not include:

  • Scheduled maintenance windows (as described in Section 2).
  • Downtime caused by factors outside our reasonable control, including force majeure events, internet connectivity issues, or third-party service failures.
  • Downtime resulting from customer actions, configurations, or misuse of the Services.
  • Features or components designated as "Beta" or "Preview."
  • Downtime caused by DNS propagation issues or domain configuration errors outside Skode's infrastructure.

4. Service Credits

If Skode fails to meet the Uptime Commitment in any calendar month, affected customers are eligible to receive service credits as follows:

  • 99.0% to 99.9% uptime: 10% credit of the monthly subscription fee for the affected month.
  • 95.0% to 99.0% uptime: 25% credit of the monthly subscription fee for the affected month.
  • Below 95.0% uptime: 50% credit of the monthly subscription fee for the affected month.

Service credits are applied to future billing cycles and are not redeemable for cash. The maximum aggregate credit for any calendar month shall not exceed 50% of the monthly subscription fee for that month. Service credits are your sole and exclusive remedy for any failure to meet the Uptime Commitment.

4.1 Requesting Service Credits

To receive service credits, you must submit a request to support@skodeai.com within 30 days of the end of the calendar month in which the downtime occurred. Your request must include the dates and times of the downtime, a description of how the Services were unavailable, and any relevant supporting information.

5. Exclusions

The Uptime Commitment does not apply to:

  • Free trial accounts or free-tier plans.
  • Features designated as Beta, Preview, or Early Access.
  • Third-party integrations, APIs, or services not operated by Skode (e.g., WhatsApp Business API availability, email provider uptime).
  • Downtime caused by customer-initiated actions (e.g., bulk data imports exceeding recommended thresholds, API rate limit abuse).
  • Suspension of service due to breach of our Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy.

6. Monitoring

Skode uses industry-standard monitoring tools to continuously track the availability and performance of our Services. Our monitoring includes:

  • Uptime Monitoring: Automated checks every 60 seconds from multiple geographic locations.
  • Performance Monitoring: Real-time tracking of response times, error rates, and throughput.
  • Status Page: Real-time service status is published at status.skodeai.com, where customers can subscribe to incident updates via email, SMS, or webhook.

7. Incident Response

Skode classifies incidents by severity level and commits to the following response and resolution targets:

Severity 1 — Critical

Complete service outage or data loss affecting all customers. Response time: within 15 minutes. Target resolution: within 4 hours. Communication: Updates every 30 minutes via status page and email.

Severity 2 — High

7.1 Post-Incident Reports
