Paisley will use reasonable efforts to notify Client of the changes in advance through communications via Client’s Account, email or other means. Client may be required to accept or otherwise agree to the Fee change before renewing a Term or upon the effective date of a new SaaS Agreement, and in any event, continued use of any Paisley Offering after the Fee change goes into effect will constitute Client’s acceptance of such update. If Client does not agree to the Fee change, Client can reject the change by cancelling the SaaS Agreement prior to the Fee change going into effect.
6. Hosting and Security
6.1. Service Availability. Paisley will use reasonable efforts to achieve a Monthly Uptime Percentage of at least 99.5% for any calendar month. “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. “Downtime” means the time in which any service is not capable of being accessed or used by the Client, as monitored by Paisley.
6.2. Exclusion from Downtime.

7. Professional Services
7.1. Provision of Professional Services Paisley will perform Professional Services for Client as set forth in each applicable SOW subject to the terms and conditions of these SaaS Terms. Any additional scope or activities that extend beyond the Professional Services will require an additional SOW. For the avoidance of doubt, the SOW may contain terms and conditions specific to the applicable Professional Services ordered (via a SOW). Paisley may immediately cease performing Professional Services, without liability, if a SOW expires and is not immediately extended or replaced with a valid SOW.
7.2. Assistance. Client acknowledges that timely access to applicable Client Materials, resources, personnel, equipment or facilities is necessary for the provision of Professional Services. Client agrees to provide such access and to reasonably cooperate with Paisley during a Professional Services project. Paisley will have no liability for any delay or deficiency to the extent resulting from Client’s breach of its obligation under Section 7.
7.3. Client Materials. Client hereby grants Paisley a limited right to use any Client Material for the purpose of providing Professional Services to Client. Client will retain any of its rights (including all intellectual property rights) in and to the Client Materials. Client Materials comprising Confidential Information will be subject to Section 5 (Confidentiality). Client warrants that Client has and will have sufficient rights in the Client Materials to grant the rights to Paisley under these SaaS Terms and that the Client Materials will not violate any third-party rights.
7.4. Access to Client Data under a SOW. With respect to access to any Client Data under an SOW, Client is solely responsible for ensuring that both the duration and scope of access is strictly limited to the access required under the specific SOW. Client agrees that it will not grant Paisley access to Client Data unless specifically required in an SOW, and that Client will grant any such access only during the term of the applicable Professional Services project. To the extent access to Client Data is granted, unless otherwise specified in an SOW, Client will provide Paisley with: (i) secure Client workstations and networks for accessing Client Data that are monitored, managed, configured, supported and maintained by Client; and (ii) user ID/passwords to each Paisley resource that requires access to Client Data, and these credentials will be solely managed by Client.
7.5. License to Deliverables. The Professional Services Paisley performs and the resulting Deliverables will not be considered works made for hire and will be part of Paisley’s Technology which is exclusively owned by Paisley and no ownership rights thereto will accrue in any manner to Client. Client hereby agrees, upon written request from Paisley, to assign any rights of Client in such Deliverables to Paisley. Subject to the terms and conditions of these SaaS Terms (including Sections 1.6 (General Restrictions) and 1.7 (Additional Restrictions)), Paisley hereby grants Client a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable worldwide license to use the Deliverables internally solely in connection with such Client’s use of the Service during the period in which such Client has valid access to the Service. The parties may mutually agree to SOWs with additional terms and restrictions related to the use of Deliverables provided as part of that project, in which case those terms and restrictions will also apply for purposes of those deliverables only.
7.6. Change Orders; Other Terms. Client may submit written requests to Paisley to change the scope of Professional Services under an existing SOW. Paisley will promptly notify Client if it believes that the requested change requires an adjustment to the Fees, schedule, assumptions or scope of performance of the Professional Services. Neither party is bound by changes to an SOW unless the parties have entered into a Change Order approved with respect thereto and only upon the mutual execution of a Change Order detailing the changes in scope, schedule, resource, fees, and/or budget to the SOW. Paisley may use subcontractors to deliver Professional Services but will remain responsible for the performance of those Professional Services under the applicable terms and conditions of these SaaS Terms. For clarity, Client will be responsible for any consumption and other Fees for the Service that are generated as part of the Professional Service.
7.7. Order of Precedence. Each SOW shall be governed by the terms and conditions of these SaaS Terms and the applicable SaaS Agreement; however, in the event of any conflict between these SaaS Terms and a SOW, the provisions of the SOW shall prevail.
7.8. Third Party Rights. Client acknowledges that in the event Paisley provides Professional Services pertaining to any third-party products (including software, hardware, equipment, or any other material), all rights in such third-party products (“Third Party Rights”) are retained by the respective third party. Client shall be required to obtain any Third Party Rights from the respective third party directly and any rights in the Professional Services related to such Third Party Rights will be subject to Client’s agreement with the respective third party.
7.9. Support. Paisley shall have no support and enhancement obligations related to any Professional Services except as otherwise specified in a SOW.

8.5. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of these SaaS Terms, Client shall no longer access the Platform and Client shall not circumvent any security mechanisms contained therein.

In addition to any of its other rights or remedies (including without limitation, any termination rights) set forth in these SaaS Terms, Paisley reserves the right to suspend the provision of the Paisley Offerings: (a) if any Fee is thirty (30) days or more overdue; (b) if Paisley deems such suspension necessary as a result of Client’s breach of Sections 1.6 (General Restrictions), 1.7 (Additional Restrictions), or Section 11 (Client Obligations); (c) if Paisley reasonably determines suspension is necessary to avoid material harm to Paisley or its customers, including if the Platform is experiencing denial of service attacks, mail flooding, or other attacks or disruptions outside of Paisley’s control; or (d) as required by law or at the request of governmental entities.
