6. Confidentiality

“Confidential Information” means any non-public information disclosed by one party (“Discloser”) to the other (“Recipient”) that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and circumstances of disclosure. Customer Data is Customer's Confidential Information. SageWay's platform technology, pricing, and business terms are SageWay's Confidential Information.

Each party agrees to:

  • Hold Confidential Information in strict confidence using no less than reasonable care (and in any event no less than the care used for its own confidential information of similar sensitivity)
  • Use Confidential Information only to perform obligations or exercise rights under this Agreement
  • Limit disclosure to personnel and contractors with a legitimate need-to-know who are bound by equivalent confidentiality obligations
  • Promptly notify the Discloser upon discovery of any unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information

Exclusions

Obligations do not apply to information that is: (a) publicly known through no fault of the Recipient; (b) rightfully known to Recipient prior to disclosure without restriction; (c) rightfully received from a third party without restriction; (d) independently developed without use of Confidential Information; or (e) required to be disclosed by law or court order, provided the Discloser receives prompt notice where legally permitted.

Duration

General confidentiality obligations survive termination for 5 years. Trade secret obligations survive indefinitely. PHI obligations survive per the applicable BAA.

7. Service Availability & SLA

99.5%

Monthly Uptime

Standard commitment for the core SageWay platform, excluding scheduled maintenance, emergency security patching, force majeure events, and outages caused by Customer configurations or Sub-processor actions. Enterprise Customers may negotiate up to 99.9% SLA via separate addendum.

SLA Remedy

If SageWay fails to meet the monthly uptime commitment in a given calendar month, Customer's sole and exclusive remedy is a service credit equal to a pro-rated portion of the monthly subscription fee for the affected period. Service credits are applied to future invoices and do not entitle Customer to a cash refund.

Feedback License

If Customer provides feedback, suggestions, ideas, or improvements relating to the Services (“Feedback”), Customer grants SageWay a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to use and incorporate such Feedback without obligation, payment, or restriction.
