Any such arbitration shall be held in Dallas, Texas unless the parties otherwise agree.  The parties shall be entitled to conduct reasonable discovery, in accordance with the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure and applicable case law, prior to the arbitration hearing, and the Texas Rules of Evidence shall be applicable to the arbitration proceeding.  The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on DMS and Intersections and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction by either party.







(f)       Severability.  This Agreement shall be deemed to be severable and, if any provision of this Agreement shall be finally determined to be void, illegal or unenforceable, then it is the parties' desire and intention that such provision be deemed automatically adjusted to the minimum extent necessary to conform to applicable requirements of validity, legality and enforceability and, as so adjusted, be deemed a provision of this Agreement as if it were originally included herein; provided, however, if such provision cannot be adjusted without substantially and materially altering the rights and duties hereunder and fundamentally depriving one party of the benefit of the bargain (taken as a whole) contemplated by this Agreement, then the parties will seek to reform this Agreement through the procedure outlined in Section 18(e) above so as to restore, as nearly as possible, the parties' respective rights, duties, and bargain.  In any case, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect.







(g)      No Waiver.  No delay or omission by either party hereto to exercise any right or power occurring upon any non-compliance or default by the other party with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof.  A waiver by either of the parties hereto of any of the covenants, conditions or agreements to be performed by the other shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any other covenant, condition, or agreement herein contained.  Unless otherwise stated, all remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to either party at law, in equity, or otherwise.







(h)      Notices.  Under this Agreement, if one party is required or permitted to give notice to the other, such notice shall be deemed given if mailed by registered or certified first class mail, postage paid with return receipt requested, or if sent by facsimile, with receipt confirmed, and addressed as follows (or as subsequently noticed to the other party):

Exhibit A – Service Level Agreement


 


THIS EXHIBIT A ("Exhibit A") is attached to and made a part of the DATA SERVICES AGREEMENT dated September 26, 2016 (the "Agreement"), by and between Intersections Inc. ("Intersections") and Digital Matrix Systems ("DMS").  Capitalized terms used in this Exhibit A have the meanings attributed to them in the Agreement.


 


1.            Product and Services Support.  DMS will respond to Intersections' request for support services ("Support") regarding the DMS Services in accordance with the procedures identified below.  In each case, Intersections may describe the problem by telephone, facsimile or electronic mail.  DMS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the obligations under this Exhibit A. 







Telephone Support.  As part of DMS Services, DMS shall provide technical support personnel accessible by toll-free telephone on a 24/7 basis for the resolution of technical questions and DMS Services Errors as further defined and described herein.  Without limitation of the foregoing, DMS shall provide to Intersections, without additional charge, all reasonably necessary telephone consultation requested in connection with Intersections' use and operation of the DMS Services or any problems therewith.







Notice of Errors; Error Correction.  As part of Support, DMS shall provide the services set forth below:







(a)      Error Classifications.  Each error or problem with the DMS Services ("Error") encountered by Intersections and under the responsibility of DMS as provided for in this Agreement will be classified into one of the following classifications: 







(i)          Class 1 Error.  A "Class 1 Error" is any Error that renders continued use of the Services either impossible or substantially interrupts the use of the Services or normal business operations of Intersections.


(ii)         Class 2 Error.  A "Class 2 Error" is any material nonconformance of the Services with its specifications, documentation or the applicable Exhibit A that is not a Class 1 Error.


(iii)        Class 3 Error.  A "Class 3 Error" is any Error that is not a Class 1 Error or a Class 2 Error.


(iv)        Notification of Errors and Escalation.  DMS shall provide to Intersections a contact person for Intersections to contact in order to report an Error or to notify DMS that Support is not being provided as set forth herein. 


(iv)            Response to Error Notification.  Intersections will inform DMS of the Error Class when initially contacting DMS.  The Error class will be used to determine DMS's required response time to Intersections.  From the time that an Error was reported to DMS, DMS shall respond to Intersections prior to expiration of the times listed below for each class of Error.   The beginning point for calculation of the response time is when a voice

(b)      Documentation and Correction of Errors.

  


(i)          Class 1 Errors and Class 2 Errors.  For any Class 1 Error or Class 2 Error, Intersections shall provide DMS sufficient documentation to enable DMS to reproduce the Error and DMS shall then take all reasonably necessary steps to supply a correction to Intersections as soon as practicable.  If DMS is unable to reproduce a Class 1 Error or Class 2 Error, the parties will work in good faith to correct such Error on a mutually agreed-upon schedule.  This will include assigning qualified, dedicated staff to work on the Error.  Upon detecting or being notified of a Class 1 Error or Class 2 Error, DMS shall assemble the appropriate personnel to analyze the problem, identify potential solutions and determine the best plan of action (which may include providing a temporary work-around until a permanent correction can be provided).  Intersections shall be permitted to participate in this process.  A DMS representative shall keep Intersections continuously informed of the status.  If DMS provides Intersections with a workaround for a Class 1 Error, such Error will be re-classified as a Class 2 Error.







(ii)         Class 3 Errors.  For any Class 3 Error, DMS shall work with Intersections to document the Error through mutually established standards.  Class 3 Errors shall be resolved according to mutually agreed priorities.  DMS personnel shall be dedicated to resolving Class 3 Errors through DMS's normal software support procedures, but in any event, each Class 3 Error shall be resolved no later than the date of next release of the applicable software and DMS Services.







2.             Scheduled Maintenance and Notifications 


Standard Maintenance Windows. DMS will use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule maintenance on Sundays between the hours of 12:01am and 4:00 am Central Time North America.







Notification of Scheduled Maintenance Downtime.  DMS will notify Intersections of any Scheduled Maintenance Downtime that will occur outside of the Standard Maintenance Windows outlined above.  Except in cases of emergency, notification will be provided at least one business day prior to such downtime.  In cases of emergency, DMS will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Intersections of a planned downtime as soon as practicable.
