Upon becoming aware of an issue, Akto will use commercially reasonable efforts to:

● restore, correct, or re-perform the affected Services;

● prioritize the applicable issue and allocate appropriate resources to resolve the issue; ● implement reasonable workarounds or alternative solutions to mitigate the impact of the issue; and

● provide reasonable status updates to the Customer until the issue is resolved. 5. Escalation Matrix

Akto will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain 99.5% uptime availability of the Akto-hosted portion of the Services for each calendar month during the applicable subscription term.

The Services will be deemed “available” so long as Authorized Users are able to log in to the Service interface and access data.

7. Uptime and Support Target Exclusions

For purposes of calculating uptime and applying support targets, the following will be excluded:

● scheduled maintenance;

● emergency maintenance;

● downtime caused by Customer, Customer’s cloud infrastructure, systems, configurations, credentials, network, or integrations;

● downtime caused by Third-Party Services;

● Force Majeure Events;

● suspension due to non-payment or breach of the applicable agreement; and ● unavailability resulting from misuse, unauthorized use, or use not in accordance with the Documentation.

8. Updates to this Support Guide

Akto may update this Support Guide from time to time. Unless otherwise agreed in the applicable Order Form, the then-current version of this Support Guide will apply to support services provided by Akto.

No update will materially reduce support commitments expressly agreed in an active Order Form.
