2. NOTICE OF INFORMATION COLLECTED AND USE.

(a) Information Collected and Stored.

We will inform you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you or provide you with the Services. Generally, this information is requested when you register for our Services or when you fill out our contact form on our Public Site, or sign up for our newsletter.

Company may receive certain information from Customers during the implementation and provision of Services. For example, Customers may provide basic information, manually or through provision of our integration services, when they are setting up the Service for their use.

Company uses cookies and other technologies on our Public Site and as part of the Services for user session management and to provide a better user experience, including customization of content display. A cookie is text data that a website transfers to the individual’s browser from a web server that is stored on the individual’s computer hard drive. Cookies cannot be used by themselves to identify individuals.

We use various methods and technologies to store or collect Usage Information (“Tracking Technologies”). A few of the Tracking Technologies used with the Services, include, without limitation, cookies, web beacons, embedded scripts, browser fingerprinting, entity tags, UTM codes (i.e. a code that you can attach to a custom URL in order to track a source, medium, and campaign name), and recognition technologies that make assumptions about users and devices. We use Tracking Technologies for a variety of purposes, including:

Strictly Necessary. We use Tracking Technologies that we consider are strictly necessary to allow all to use and access our Services, including cookies required to prevent fraudulent activity, improve security or allow site visitors and our Customers to make use of Services functionality.
Performance Related. We use Tracking Technologies that are useful in order to assess the performance of the Services, including as part of our analytic practices or otherwise to improve the content, ads, products or services offered through the Services.
Functionality Related. We use Tracking Technologies that are required to offer you enhanced functionality when accessing the Service, including identifying you when you use our Service or keeping track of your specified preferences.
Targeting Related. We use Tracking Technologies to deliver content, which may include ads, including those promoted by our pay-per-click (PPC) advertisers, such as Google, that we deem relevant to your interests on our Service and third-party services based on how you interact with our advertisements and/or content. This includes using Tracking Technologies to understand the usefulness to you of the content and ads that have been delivered to you.
Google Products. We use a number of third party analytics services, including but not limited to Google Analytics, Google Search, Console Google Tag Manager, and Google Optimize and Google Tag Manager, and the use of “logs” to capture any errors and correct those errors both at the system and customer level to help us understand how users engage with our Services. Like many services, these analytic tools use first-party cookies to track user interactions, as in our case, where they are used to collect information about how users use our Service. This information is, among other reasons, used to compile reports and to help us improve our Service. In most instances the reports disclose website trends without identifying individual visitors. You can opt out of being subjected to any of our analytic tools without affecting how you visit our Service – for more information on opting out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites you use, visit this Google page: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Further, third-parties may use Tracking Technologies in connection with our Services, which may include the collection of information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services as well as across your Devices. We do not control those Tracking Technologies and we are not responsible for them. However, you accept that you will encounter third-party Tracking Technologies in connection with use of our Services and accept that our statements under this Privacy Policy do not apply to the Tracking Technologies or practices of such third-parties.
Use of Hotjar. We use Hotjar in order to better understand our users’ needs and to optimize the Services and, in general, the experience received on our Site. Hotjar is a technology service that helps us better understand our users experience (e.g. how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users do and don’t like, etc.) and this enables us to build and maintain our service with user feedback. Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect data on our users’ behavior and their devices (in particular device’s IP address (captured and stored only in anonymized form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), preferred language used to display our website). Hotjar stores this information in a pseudonymized user profile. We do not use this information to identify individual users or to match it with further data on an individual user.
Use of Lead Forensics. We use Lead Forensics which primarily is a tool that uses a tracking code for identifying businesses visiting our websites based on their business IP addresses. This is not the same as cookies. The Lead Forensics tracking code only provides information that is readily available in the public domain. It does not, and cannot, provide individual, personal or sensitive data regarding who has visited our website. This information allow us to analyze the use of our website and eventually contact those companies about their experience or for sales purposes. To be able to guaranty you the best service, we transmit this data to our subsidiaries and distributors as far as necessary. Beyond this purpose, there is no transmission of personal information to third parties.
Use of CallRail. CallRail provides web-based phone and SMS communication services used to measure marketing campaigns and improve customer service and sales performance. CallRail collects information on callers who call CallRail numbers, including: (1) the caller’s phone number, (2) the name displayed on the Caller ID (when available), and other data third-party enabled data where caller consent has been granted (for example, customer data from CRM systems, social contacts, email inboxes, third-party data services, etc.).

You should consider the risks involved in disclosing your location information and adjust your mobile and browser settings accordingly.

(c) Information Collected and Stored – Short Message Service (SMS) Messages.
After you sign up for our Services (subject to your consent where required by applicable law), we may contact via SMS. In addition, the Company may send you SMS messages that provide marketing, promotional, and/or other information. We and/or our third-party service providers, such as Google, use a variety of technologies that automatically (or passively) store or collect certain information whenever we send you a text message. This information will be stored or accessed using a variety of technologies that will be downloaded to your mobile device whenever you receive a message via our SMS service. Finally, we may require use of SMS messages as part of a two-part authentication process.

Customer Support Policy
Updated February 15, 2019
In connection with an active SAAS Customer Agreement, GrowPath, LLC (“GrowPath”) provides its customers the following software support policies (“Support Policy”). The Support Policy are subject to change at GrowPath’s discretion.

Software UPDATES
“Software Update” means a subsequent release of the software, which GrowPath generally makes available for its software customers with an active SAAS Customer Agreement at no additional fee. Software Updates may contain, but are not limited to security fixes, critical patch updates, general maintenance releases, selected functionality, and documentation updates.

GrowPath will provide Software Updates when available and at its discretion.

GrowPath is under no obligation to develop any future functionality or enhancements. If an update for a software product is made available to you pursuant to these software Support Policies, it shall automatically replace the previous version of the applicable software product.

GrowPath will generally schedule Software Updates during non-business hours (between 9pm and 7am ET) and will provide customers with advance notice via email.

RESPONSE TIMES
GrowPath is committed to rapid response of all Support Requests. All severities can be logged with GrowPath on a 24 hours-per-day, 7 days-per-week, 365 days-per-year basis via email provided to you by your Customer Success Manager.

GrowPath will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly respond to each Support Request. GrowPath does not guarantee resolution time as that may vary on the nature of the problem. A resolution may consist of a fix, workaround or other solution GrowPath deems reasonable.

GrowPath will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the Service Level Objectives stated in the table below. In connection with Severity Level 1 issues, GrowPath will provide service during normal service hours and outside of such hoursuntil a workaround or resolution can be provided or until the incident can be downgraded to a lower severity.

Software Support Service Level Objectives

Severity Level Target Response Times
Blocker (Software Severity 1) 30 minutes or less
High (Software Severity 2) 4 business hours
Medium (Software Severity 3) 8 business hours
Low (Software Severity 4) 12 business hours

SEVERITY DEFINITIONS

Blocker (Severity 1)
Critical production issue affecting all users, including system unavailability and data integrity issues with no workaround available. This may include one or more of the following:

Service is down or unavailable.
A critical part of the software infrastructure is unavailable or inaccessible, resulting in total disruption of work or critical business impact
Service crashes or hangs indefinitely causing unacceptable or indefinite delays for resources or response.
A critical documented feature / function is not available.

Severity 1 issues identified by the customer, but not related to a service interruption/outage, require the customer to have dedicated resources available to work on the issue on an ongoing basis. Customer is also required to verify Customer’s internet service availability prior to logging a Severity 1 issue.

High (Severity 2)
Major functionality is impacted or significant performance degradation is experienced. Issue is persistent and affects many users and/or major functionality. No reasonable workaround is available. This may include one or more of the following:

Service is operational but highly degraded performance to the point of major impact on usage.
Important features of the software offering are unavailable with no acceptable workaround; however, operations can continue in a restricted fashion.
Access to a particular third-party application or service provider deemed noncritical is impacted

Medium (Severity 3)
System performance issue or bug affecting some but not all users. Workaround is available, but not scalable. This may include one or more of the following:

Service is operational but partially degraded for some or all customers, and an acceptable workaround or solution exists.
Problem with non-critical feature or functionality

Low (Severity 4)
An inquiry regarding a routine technical issue; information requested on application capabilities, navigation, installation or configuration; bug affecting a small number of users. An acceptable workaround is available. This may include one or more of the following:

Minor problem not impacting service functionality.
Enhancement requests, missing or erroneous documentation.
Minor problem or question that does not affect the delivery of service.

SUPPORT REQUEST SEVERITY LIFE CYCLE
Support Requests are assigned a severity level based on the nature of your request as determined by GrowPath in its sole discretion. We highly recommend you familiarize yourself with the Severity definitions and response times defined above.

Severity 1 Problem Reporting – Please first check your email to see if the outage has already been reported or if your issue is due to a scheduled software product maintenance. If you do not see your issues reported, please report service outages/severity 1 problems via email.

Downgrade of Severity Level – If, during the Support Request process, the issue no longer warrants the severity level currently assigned based on its current impact on the production operation of the software product, then the severity level will be downgraded to the severity level that most appropriately reflects its current impact.

Upgrade of Severity Levels – If, during the Support Request process, the issue warrants the assignment of a higher severity level than that currently assigned based on the current impact on the production operation of the software product, then the severity level will be upgraded to the severity level that most appropriately reflects its current impact. In requesting any assignment of a higher severity level, you must provide GrowPath with sufficient information that demonstrates the increased impact of the issue on the production operation of the service.

Adherence to Severity Level Definitions – You shall ensure that the assignment and adjustment of any severity level designation is accurate based on the current impact on the production operation of the software product. You acknowledge that GrowPath is not responsible for any failure to meet performance standards caused by your misuse or mis-assignment of severity level designations.

SUPPORT REQUEST ESCALATION
At GrowPath, our support team always works to ensure that the appropriate resources and level of focus are applied to your request to ensure a timely resolution. If you are not satisfied with the progress of your Support Request, however, you can request an escalation. By invoking the escalation process, additional levels of GrowPath management attention, procedure reinforcement and resource prioritization are brought to bear on resolving your Support Request.

Effective Date: February 15, 2019

SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT (“SLA”)
Updated January 29, 2019
During the Term, the Service (excluding Third Party Services) will be operational and available to customer at least 99% of the time in any calendar month (the “SLA”).

DEFINITIONS
The following definitions shall apply to the SLA.

Downtime – shall be deemed to occur during a minute when more than 5% of the valid HTTP requests made to the customer’s subdomain of customer.growpath.com return an HTTP status code in the 500 range, as logged by GrowPath’s application. Downtime shall not be deemed to occur during (i) system upgrades, enhancements and routine maintenance activities that are announced via customer email notification or (ii) maintenance determined by GrowPath to be an emergency or (iii) outage caused by the customer’s internet service provider

Monthly Uptime Percentage – means the total number of minutes in a calendar month minus the number of minutes of Downtime suffered in a calendar month, divided by the total number of minutes in a calendar month.

Other Products Services – means mobile apps, devices, and third-party software that are not maintained, warrantied or otherwise guaranteed by GrowPath, including without limitation, Apps, the software and products, technologies and services provided by customer.

Monthly Uptime Percentage Days of Service added to the end of the Term, at no charge to customer
< 99% >= 98.0% 1
< 98.0% >= 95.0% 3
< 95.0% 5
Service Credit – If the Monthly Uptime Percentage of the service falls below SLA Standards, a service credit may be issued to customer subject to the terms and conditions below. The issuance of Service Credits is the sole and exclusive remedy of customer and GrowPath’s sole and exclusive obligation, for any failure by GrowPath to satisfy the SLA. In order to receive a Service Credit, customer must notify GrowPath in writing within fifteen (15) days from the time customer becomes eligible to receive a Service Credit (the “Downtime Notice”). Failure to comply with such requirement will result in customer forfeiting its right to receive a Service Credit. The aggregate maximum number of Service Credits to be issued by GrowPath to customer for all Downtime that occurs in a single calendar month shall not exceed five days of Service added to the end of the Term. Service Credits may not be exchanged for, or converted to, monetary amounts. Service Credits shall automatically be forfeited upon the termination of the Agreement prior to the expiration of the Term.

Third Party Services – Third Party Services include mobile apps, devices, and third-party APIs that are not maintained, warrantied or otherwise guaranteed by GrowPath, LLC

SLA EXCLUSIONS
SLA Exclusions. The SLA does not apply to any services that expressly exclude this SLA (as stated in the documentation for such services) or any performance issues: (i) caused by factors described in the “Force Majeure” section of the Agreement; or (ii) that resulted from customer’s equipment or third party equipment, or both.

Ineligible customers. Customers who at the time of Downtime claimed in a Downtime Notice are not current on their payment of the fees for the Services do not qualify for SLA Credits for such Downtime. In addition, customers who have not paid their fees when due for the Services three or more times in the previous twelve calendar months do not qualify for SLA Credits.

Errors in Implementation or Use. The SLA does not apply to Downtime caused by customer’s use of the Services or any End User’s use of the software after GrowPath advised customer or any End User to modify such use, if customer or any customer End User did not modify its use as advised.
