1.3 Service and Software Updates. From time to time, ServiceNow may provide updates, patches, enhancements, or fixes for the Lightstep Service to its customers generally without additional charge (“Updates”), and such Updates will become part of the Lightstep Service and subject to this Agreement; provided ServiceNow shall have no obligation under this Agreement or otherwise to provide any such Updates.

Customer shall, within five (5) business days after notice of an Update to the Ancillary Software, implement such Update and cease using the prior version or release of the Ancillary Software.
1.4 Availability SLA. If the Covered Lightstep Services (as defined below) are Available less than 99.9% during a calendar month (“Uptime”), Customer’s exclusive remedy is to request ServiceNow issue a service credit (“Service Credit”) to Customer for the dollar value of the number of minutes the Covered Lightstep Serviced were not Available in the month. Service Credits are determined at the deemed per-minute rate ServiceNow charges to Customer for use of the Covered Lightstep Services. Customer may request ServiceNow apply a Service Credit to the next invoice for Lightstep Service. Customer must request all Service Credits in writing to ServiceNow within 30 days of the end of the month in which the Availability SLA was not met. ServiceNow may delay issuing Service Credits until such amounts reach $1,000 USD or equivalent currency specified in the applicable Order Form.
