For the purpose of this SLA, all capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the streamB Terms and Conditions of Service.
##### 2. Technical Support
**a. Support Description**. streamB shall provide Technical Support to the Customer as follows:
|Type|Means of communication|Availability|Response Time|
|--------------------|-----------------------|--------------------|----------------------|
|Routine Support |E-mail: care@streamB.com |Core Hours |Within 24 hours |
|Emergency Support |E-mail: care@streamB.com | | Less than 1 hour |
For Routine Support, Response Time applies only during Core Hours.
**b. Support Request**. All Support Requests shall contain the following information:
1. Customer Station (call letters);
2. Contact name;
3. Contact phone number;
4. Contact email address;
5. Description of the nature of the problem and how it was detected; and
6. Ocurrence time of the problem.
**c. Ticket Reporting System**. A trouble ticket will be opened in the Ticket Reporting System either: i) for Routine Support or Emergency Support, automatically upon receipt of a Support Request submitted by e-mail; or ii) for Emergency Support, manually by streamB upon receipt of a valid Support Request submitted by phone or within a dedicated channel in Slack, or iii) for Routine Support or Emergency Support, manually if streamB becomes aware of a problem. In case of any problem arising from software supplied by streamB, it will provide a temporary patch as soon as possible, but in any case within 60 minutes after a trouble ticket is opened in the Ticket Reporting System, and then streamB will provide a permanent fix in the next software release.
**d. Case Resolution**. A Support Request is considered resolved when Service and operations are restored to the Customer’s satisfaction and the Ticket Reporting System is updated with the information defining the fix for the problem, including without limitation:
1. The Customer problem was resolved to the Customer’s satisfaction;

a) Access to FAQ documentation;
b) Support Request form (e-mail based) submitted directly into the Ticket Reporting System;
c) Response Time: five (5) hours, during Core Hours; and
d) Assistance and information provided to enable End Users to use the Service.
##### 4. Service Level
**a.** streamB’s Services depend (in part) on the capacities of its Third-Party Suppliers as well as the systems operating at the Customer’s location(s) and point(s) of use. The service level agreements from those suppliers are reflected in this SLA and streamB’s commitments and define the minimum quality of service that the Customer should expect when a repair is required at streamB’s demarcation point (meaning streamB’s Systems side and not the Customer’s equipment). streamB is not liable for the failure of the Customer’s computer or telephony systems to operate or interoperate with streamB’s Systems and streamB is not responsible for the Customer’s computer or telephony systems.
**b. Uptime Guarantee**. streamB provides a guarantee of 99.9% Uptime to the Customer, for the Customer Streaming Content.
**c. Downtime and Uptime Calculation**. Downtime and Uptime for streaming Service shall be measured for each Customer Station separately but shall not be cumulative if unavailability occurs simultaneously for several Customer Stations. For example, if the streaming service for ten (10)Customer Stations is unavailable at the same time for five (5) hours, the Downtime period will be five (5) hours and will not be multiplied by the number of unavailable Customer Stations (fifty (50) hours), and the Uptime period for a month will be equal to twenty-four (24) hours multiplied by the number of days in such month and will not be multiplied by the number of available Customer Stations.
The calculation of the Downtime of a Service officially starts when the live stream has become unavailable to all End Users due to a failure on the streamB Network for at least two (2) minutes and ends when the live stream becomes available to End Users. The Downtime will be calculated by using the Customer Stations with the longest Downtime. For example, if a problem with ten (10)Customer Stations is resolved Customer Station by Customer Station, the Downtime ends when the last Customer Station affected by the problem is restored.
**d. Downtime Credit**. In the event that streamB fails to meet the Uptime guarantee as specified in section 4.b of this SLA during any calendar month, streamB shall grant the Customer a credit against the monthly fees otherwise payable for the affected Service(s) in accordance with the following table:
|Downtime| Credits|
|--------------|--------|
|To 2% | 10% |
|>2% to 3% | 20% |
|>3% | 30% |
For the avoidance of doubt, streamB acknowledges that such reduction in monthly fees applies with respect to the affected Service(s) provided during Uptime, including the per-GB fees for the affected Service(s) during such calendar month.

##### 5. Sub-processors.
streamB will, and will require any Sub-Processors to, only Process Customer Personal Data/Personal Information according to instructions which are reasonably equivalent to Customer’s documented instructions as set forth in EXHIBIT A of this Addendum and the Principal Agreement, or as otherwise required by Applicable Law. Customer instructs and authorizes streamB and each streamB Affiliate to instruct its Sub-Processors and/or other third parties to:
1. Process Personal Data/Personal Information, including engaging other Sub-Processors and/or third parties to Process Customer Personal Data/Personal Information in order to provide the Services, including enabling and optimizing the Services, and

streamB will instruct any Sub-Processor engaged by streamB to Process Customer Personal Data/Personal Information according to instructions which are reasonably equivalent to the instructions as set forth in the Data Processing Instructions attached in EXHIBIT A. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
3. Sub-Processors will have the right to process Customer’s data based on such Sub-Processors’ existing technical and organizational measures or to implement their own appropriate technical and organizational security measures, provided such technical and organizational measures ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk taking into account the circumstances of the Processing, and
(d) Sub-Processors will be responsible for assessing their own level of security and evaluating the effectiveness of their own security instructions. streamB will cause Sub-Processors to agree to submit documentation describing the implementation of the technical and organizational measures at the request of the Customer.
##### 6. Authorization to Share Customer Personal Data/Personal Information.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that streamB may Process and share Customer Personal Data/Personal Information with contractors, agents and other third parties (including streamB Affiliates) which act as subcontractors for the purpose of providing the Services (which parties are, for greater certainty, deemed to be acting as Sub-Processors), as reasonably necessary for the provision of the Services and consistent with the Principal Agreement. streamB shall only grant access to the Personal Data/Personal Information being Processed on behalf of the Customer to persons under streamB’s authority who have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality and only on a need-to-know basis. streamB shall periodically review the list of persons to whom access has been provided. On the basis of such review, such access to Data/Personal Information can be withdrawn, if access is no longer necessary, and Personal Data/Personal Information shall consequently not be accessible anymore to those persons.
##### 7. Processing of Personal Data/Personal Information by Authorized Independent Controllers/ Third Parties.
If Customer requests streamB to provide Services using entities that do not comply with the Data Processing Instructions set forth in EXHIBIT A, such entities will be classified as “Authorized Independent Controllers” or “Third Parties”. Customer shall authorize streamB to use such Authorized Independent Controllers/Third Parties by providing instructions to streamB either in writing or through the streamB Platform Interface.
If Customer amends the list of Authorized Independent Controllers/Third Parties which Customer has authorized streamB to use to sub-process Customer data, Customer shall be responsible for assessing the impact on the Processing of Personal Information/Personal Data, and for its own compliance with all Applicable Laws, including applicable Data Protection Laws, including changes to privacy policy, privacy notice, records of processing, and/or lawfulness of processing.
##### 8. Transfer of Personal Data outside of the EEA.
If the Customer is subject to GDPR, streamB agrees not to transfer Customer Personal Data to, or Process such Customer Personal Data in, a location outside of the EEA (in each case referred to hereafter as a “Transfer”) without Customer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Prior written consent of Customer is not required for the transferring to, or accessing by, the employees/contractors of streamB of Customer Personal Data.
For the purposes of this Section 8, Customer hereby consents to Transfers outside of the EEA where:
1. streamB or its Sub-Processor (as the case may be) has entered into standard contractual clauses or the equivalent thereof for the transfer of personal data to Processors established in third countries, as approved by the Commission, with Customer (or a Customer Affiliate) as the data exporter,
2. where such Transfer is subject to an adequacy decision by the Commission, or
3. where the Transfer otherwise complies with Applicable Laws, including Data Protection Law.
##### 9. Security of Processing.
Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of Processing the Customer Personal Data/Personal Information as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, streamB shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures for the Processing of Customer Personal Data/Personal Information to ensure a level of security appropriate to that risk, including, as appropriate, the measures referred to in Article 32(1) of the GDPR and the applicable measures in the CCPA.
In assessing the appropriate level of security, streamB shall take into account the risks that are presented by such Processing, in particular risks related to Personal Data Breaches.
Customer acknowledges that it (not streamB):
1. controls the nature and contents of the Personal Data/Personal Information and implements its own technical and organizational measures appropriate to the risk of Processing, and
2. acts as its own system administrator and controls End Users’ Personal Data/Personal Information.
Customer represents and warrants or covenants, as applicable, that whenever acting in its capacity as Controller/Business:
3. it has collected all Personal Data/Personal Information in accordance with Applicable Laws, including applicable Data Protection Laws,
4. the Processing of Personal Data/Personal Information in accordance with this Addendum will not violate Applicable Laws, including applicable Data Protection Laws, and
5. Customer will take all steps necessary to ensure it achieves the foregoing, including by providing Data Subjects with appropriate privacy notices, obtaining required consent, and ensuring that there is a legal basis for Processing Personal Data/Personal Information.
Customer will indemnify and hold harmless streamB and its Sub-Processors against all losses, fines, and regulatory sanctions arising from any claim by a third party (including a Supervisory Authority) arising out of Customer’s negligence, willful misconduct, and/or any breach of this Section 9 by Customer.
##### 10. Personal Data Breaches.
streamB will notify Customer without undue delay if streamB becomes aware of a Personal Data Breach affecting Customer Personal Data/Personal Information. streamB’s notification of or response to a Personal Data Breach under this Section 10 will not be construed as an acknowledgment by streamB of any fault or liability with respect to the Personal Data Breach. streamB shall cooperate with Customer and provide commercially reasonable assistance as may be required to comply with any reporting obligations under GDPR and CCPA due to such Personal Data Breach. Any such assistance required by streamB under this Section 10 shall be at Customer’s expense.
##### 11. Assistance.
Taking into account the nature of the Processing, to the extent possible, streamB shall assist Customer by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures to assist Customer with Customer’s obligations regarding Data Subjects’ rights requests under Chapter III of GDPR, CCPA, and other Applicable Laws, including applicable Data Protection Laws.
Taking into account the nature of the Processing and the information available to streamB, streamB shall assist Customer in ensuring compliance with Customer’s obligations relating to the security of Personal Data/Personal Information, data protection impact assessments and prior consultation requirements under Applicable Laws, including applicable Data Protection Law. streamB shall have no obligation to reidentify or otherwise link information that is not maintained in a manner that would be considered Personal Data for the purposes of the GDPR or Personal Information for purposes of the CCPA.
streamB shall:
1. promptly notify Customer if streamB or streamB’s Sub-Processors receive a request from a Data Subject under any Applicable Laws, including Data Protection Law, with respect to Customer Personal Data, and
2. shall ensure that neither streamB nor streamB’s Sub-Processors respond to Data Subject requests, except upon the documented instructions of Customer or as required by Applicable Laws, in which case streamB shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, inform Customer of such legal requirement before streamB or streamB’s Sub-Processors respond to any request. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any assistance required by streamB beyond the requirements of Applicable Laws shall be at Customer’s expense.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer understands and agrees that for purposes of the CCPA, Customer is solely responsible for responding to requests to exercise Data Subjects’ rights requests and that streamB shall have no responsibility to respond directly to an individual on Customer’s behalf, absent written instructions from Customer.
##### 12. Deletion or return of Customer Personal Data.
streamB shall retain copies of any Customer Personal Data/Personal Information for a period of at least ninety (90) days (the “Retention Period”) from the date of termination of any Services involving the Processing of Customer Personal Data/Personal Information (the “Termination Date”). On expiry of the Retention Period, Customer may direct streamB to promptly delete and procure the deletion of all copies of such Customer Personal Data/Personal Information at Customer’s request.
During the Retention Period, Customer may, in its sole discretion, provide written notice to streamB requiring streamB to:
1. return a complete copy of all Customer Personal Data/Personal Information to Customer by secure file transfer in such format as is reasonably disclosed to Customer by streamB, and
2. save (as otherwise set forth in this Section 12), delete and procure the confirmation of deletion of all other copies of Customer Personal Data/Personal Information Processed by streamB or a streamB Sub-Processor.
