We will not utilise third party data centres that do not maintain the aforementioned certifications and/or attestations, or other substantially similar or equivalent certifications and/or attestations.

2. Physical Access Control

Technical or organisational measures regarding access control, especially regarding legitimation of authorised persons.

The aim of the entrance control is to prevent unauthorised people from physically accessing such data processing equipment which processes or uses Customer Data.

We employ measures designed to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to data processing systems and the Services in which Customer Data is processed, such as the use of security personnel, secured buildings and data center premises.

For our Services, the constructional and substantive security standards comply with the security requirements for data centres.

3. System Access Control

Technical and organisational measures regarding the user ID and authentication:

The aim of the system access control is to prevent unauthorised use of data processing systems, are used for the processing of Customer Data.

The following may, among other controls, be applied depending upon the particular Services ordered: authentication via passwords and/or two-factor authentication, documented authorization processes, documented change management processes, and logging of access on several levels.

For our Services: (i) log-ins to Services Environments by our employees and Sub-processors are logged; (ii) logical access to the data centers is restricted and protected by firewall/VPN/SSH/SSL; and (iii) intrusion detection systems, centralized logging and alerting, and firewalls are used.

4. Data Access Control

Technical and organisational measures regarding the on-demand structure of the authorisation concept, data access rights and monitoring and recording of the same:

Measures regarding data access control are targeted on the basis that only such data can be accessed for which an access authorisation exists and that data cannot be read, copied, changed or deleted in an unauthorised manner during the processing and after the saving of such data.

Customer Data is accessible and manageable only by properly authorized staff, direct database query access is restricted, and application access rights are established and enforced. Access to data necessary for the performance of the particular task is ensured within the systems and applications by a corresponding role and authorisation concept.

5. Transmission Control

Technical and organisational measures regarding the transport, transfer, transmission, storage and subsequent review of Customer Data on data media (manually or electronically).

Transmission control is implemented so that Customer Data cannot be read, copied, changed or deleted without authorisation, during transfer or while stored on data media, and so that it can be monitored and determined as to which recipients a transfer of Customer Data is intended.

Except as otherwise specified for the Services or parts thereof, transfers of data outside the Services environment are encrypted. The content of communications (including sender and recipient addresses) sent through some email or messaging services may not be encrypted. You are solely responsible for the results of your decision to use unencrypted communications or transmissions.

The transfer of Customer Data to a third party (e.g. sub-processors) is only made if a corresponding contract exists, and only for the specific purposes. If Customer Data is transferred to companies located outside the EEA, we provide that an adequate level of data protection exists at the target location or organisation in accordance with the European Union’s data protection requirements, e.g. by employing contracts based on the Standard Contractual Clauses.

6. Data Entry Control

Technical and organisational measures regarding recording and monitoring of the circumstances of data entry to enable retroactive review:

Data Entry Controls are implemented so that a retroactive review is enabled.

System inputs are recorded in the form of log files and database records therefore it is possible to review retroactively whether and by whom Customer Data was entered, altered or deleted.

As part of the Terms of Service governing all purchases of Virtual Vision, trading as “Virtual Vision” (“we”, “us”) services, we provide the following service level to you (“you”, “your”):

100% Virtual Server Availability Guarantee

Virtual Vision guarantees 100% availability of the Services (as defined in the Terms of Service) in any given calendar month as defined by their availability on our network and their responsiveness in a non-degraded way. This guarantee covers the hardware and virtualisation hypervisor layers only and not the software (including but not limited to operating systems and applications) running within virtual servers.

100% Network Uptime Guarantee

Virtual Vision guarantees 100% network availability in any given calendar month. The network will be deemed ‘available’ if Virtual Vision’s border routers and switches are available and responding to Virtual Vision monitoring tools in a non-degraded manner.

1ms or less Network Latency Guarantee

Virtual Vision guarantees a network latency of 1ms or less for data packets between servers within Virtual Vision’s services and network. The network latency refers to network latency times between the boundary layer of one virtual server to the boundary layer of another virtual server and excludes internal latency times resulting from software running within a virtual server at either end of the data transit.

Credit

If we fail to meet the guarantees detailed above, you will be able to request a credit as detailed below up to a maximum of 100% of your fee for capacity used during the previous 30 calendar days:

• Credit of 50 times the fees for any period of lack of availability for a virtual server or network uptime lasting more than 15 minutes as measured from the time at which you validly inform us at support@cloudsigma.com or the time at which our monitoring systems detect the lack of availability, whichever is earlier;
• Credit of 50 times the fees of the fees for any period of network latency as defined above, with greater than 1ms lasting for more than 15 minutes as measured from the time at which you validly inform us at support@cloudsigma.com or the time at which our monitoring systems detect the lack of availability, whichever is earlier;
• Credit of your entire fee for the previous 30 calendar days in case of permanent loss of your stored data resulting from hardware or software failure of Virtual Vision’s systems. This provision entirely excludes data loss or corruption resulting from software running within a virtual server.

In the event that we fail to meet the guarantee on more than one occasion within a period of 30 calendar days, then the credit that you may claim for any incident will be limited to the maximum of 100% of your fee for capacity used since the previous incident or 100% of your fee for capacity used during the previous 30 calendar days, whichever fee is lower.

To receive a credit, you must contact us at support@cloudsigma.com within 30 calendar days of the incident, specifying the start time, date and duration of the qualifying period which forms the basis of your claim and the amount of credit claimed. We will be the sole arbiter regarding the award of credit and our decision will be final and binding.

Limitations and Exemptions

The following items or situations are exempt from Virtual Vision’s guarantees:

• Acts or omissions of you or your users;
• Software running within your virtual servers;
• Scheduled maintenance which we have announced at least 24 hours in advance;
• Factors outside our control, including but not limited to any force majeure events, failures, acts or omissions of our upstream providers or failures of the internet.
• Actions of third parties, including but not limited to security compromises, denial of service attacks and viruses provided Virtual Vision makes reasonable efforts to keep its software and systems up to date;
• Violations of our Acceptable Use Policy;
• Any product currently in Beta as per our Terms of Service
• Law enforcement activity.

A user must be up to date with all payments and have sufficient pre-pay balance where appropriate to cover current usage levels to be eligible for the credits outlined in this Service Level Agreement. No credits will be extended if a user is delinquent on any payments or has insufficient balance to continue using Virtual Vision services at usage levels during the qualifying claimed credit period for at least 10 calendar days.

The award of credit by Virtual Vision to you as described in this Service Level Agreement will be the sole and exclusive remedy for unavailability or performance degradation of Virtual Vision services. Credits will only be provided against future service and for the avoidance of doubt may not be exchanged for cash or other forms of payment.

Notwithstanding anything in this Service Level Agreement to the contrary, the maximum total credit for the monthly billing period, including all guaranties, shall not exceed 100% of your fee for the previous 30 calendar days. Credits beyond your fee for the previous 30 calendar days will not be carried forward for use against future fees.

This Service Level Agreement forms part of your Agreement with Virtual Vision, along with the Acceptable Use Policy, and is subject to all the terms and conditions stated in these documents.
