1.11 Payer Clawbacks. In the event of any payer clawbacks arising from the services provided under this Agreement, the Customer shall first undertake all reasonable and necessary efforts to contest such clawbacks using all available means, with Brellium providing reasonable support as necessary. Following these efforts, Brellium commits to a diligent review process to ascertain the root cause of such clawbacks. If Brellium determines, in its sole discretion, that a clawback resulted directly from an error or oversight in our services, and the Customer has purchased the “Confidence Coverage” add-on, Brellium agrees to bear the financial responsibility for such clawbacks, limited to an amount not exceeding the total payments the Customer has made to Brellium in the 12 months preceding the first session for which funds were clawed back.This liability does not extend to clawbacks resulting from Customer-provided erroneous or incomplete requirements, specifications, or directions; changes in payer policies or regulations post-service provision; or errors in client or third-party provided patient data.
As Brellium’s analysis may occasionally be incorrect, we rely on our customers to promptly notify us of any perceived errors in our analysis. Customers must report such within 5 days upon discovery to allow Brellium the opportunity to rectify them. Failure to do so will render the customer ineligible for clawback protection under this clause.
This clause represents the sole remedy for errors attributable to Brellium's Services and is in lieu of any other legal or equitable remedies. Customer is required to promptly notify Brellium of any potential or actual payer clawback claims within 30 days, providing detailed documentation of the efforts made to contest the clawback and reasonable assistance in investigating and addressing such claims.

Any such arbitration will be held in a reasonably convenient location acceptable to both parties in Delaware.

5.2 Error Correction Standards.
During the Term, Brellium will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to Fix a reported Error (as defined in the Support Services Severity Matrix below) for the current release of the Platform in accordance with the severity level reasonably assigned to such Error by Brellium. The severity level of the Error will be determined by Brellium as soon as practicable under the circumstances, with the goal being one (1) hour of the report of a critical, high impact incident via phone. Customer is responsible for providing sufficient information to allow Brellium to readily reproduce all reported Errors. Customer must minimally include the following information: date the error occurred, the users(s) and names of users impacted, application screen name, specific error experienced (what is happening), expected screen functionality, and specific replication steps. Additional information may also be required based on the type of error. The parties understand that certain Errors manifest themselves in an intermittent and/or seemingly random fashion, cannot reasonably be discovered by extensive testing, and must be analyzed by developers to determine the cause. If Brellium believes that a problem reported by Customer may not be due to an Error in the Platform, Brellium will so notify Customer.
5.2.1 Brellium commits to maintaining a minimum system uptime of 95% each calendar month, calculated based on the total number of minutes in the month, with this commitment being specifically applicable between the hours of 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST). This uptime excludes any scheduled maintenance times, which will be communicated to the Customer at least 48 hours in advance. In the event of downtime, Brellium will promptly address and work to resolve the issue. The Customer is required to report any system unavailability within a reasonable time frame.
5.2.2 Brellium pledges to initiate an investigation within four hours of the reported issue during the defined service hours (9 AM to 5 PM EST on days that are not US bank holidays) and aims to resolve all critical issues impacting system functionality or performance within 24 hours. For less critical issues, a resolution or a workaround will be provided within 48 hours. Furthermore, Brellium commits that at least 75% of all issues reported will be resolved within two business days, ensuring prompt and efficient issue resolution.
5.2.3 In case of failure to meet these resolution timeframes or the uptime commitment, Brellium agrees to provide service credits or other compensatory measures as set forth herein, thereby ensuring a commitment to high service standards and customer satisfaction. A failure to maintain 95% uptime will invoke the following penalties:
0-3 consecutive hours of downtime per month or 0-12 non-consecutive hours of downtime per month = No fee reduction
4-7 consecutive hours of downtime per month or 13-18 non-consecutive hours of downtime per month= 10% fee reduction of the monthly fee for that service
8-10 consecutive hours of downtime per month or 19-23 non-consecutive hours of downtime per month= 20% fee reduction of the monthly fee for that service
11+ consecutive hours of downtime per month or 24+ non-consecutive hours of downtime= 75% fee re-duction of the monthly fee for that service
5 days+ of downtime per month will represent a material breach of the Agreement which will give Customer the right to either (1) immediately terminate the Agreement with no further obligation to Brellium, or (2) prorate fees paid to Brellium.
5.3 Compatibility; Prior Version Support.
Brellium shall ensure that each Update is compatible with each preceding version of the Platform, including Customizations.

Brellium shall not be responsible for Customer’s computer network or for any connectivity or other related issues that prevent Customer from gaining access to the Platform.
THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS DEFINE A SERVICE ARRANGEMENT AND NOT A PRODUCT WARRANTY. BRELLIUM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE ERROR-FREE. ALL PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS RELATED THERETO ARE SUBJECT EXCLUSIVELY TO THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THE MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS DO NOT CHANGE OR SUPERSEDE ANY PROVISION OF ANY SUCH AGREEMENT.
5.5 Brellium is committed to maintaining high service standards and agrees to adhere to the following response and resolution time service levels: Response to Customer inquiries and service requests, including support needs, will be provided within 24 hours. For critical issues that significantly impact Customer business operations, an initial response will be issued within 4 hours during business hours (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST, Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays). Resolution times may vary based on the complexity of the issue, with ongoing communication provided regarding progress. Customers can escalate unresolved issues via email to support@brellium.com, following which the matter will be promptly addressed by our escalation management team. This service level is subject to periodic review and mutual adjustments to reflect evolving service needs. It is noted that this service level does not cover issues arising from factors beyond Brellium's control, such as natural disasters or Customer's own system failures.
5.6 In case of failure to meet these response or resolution timeframes, Brellium agrees to provide service credits or other compensatory measures as set forth herein, thereby ensuring a commitment to high service standards and customer satisfaction.

If, in any three consecutive months or five times in any twelve-month period, Brellium is Noncompliant with over (10) ten support incident response or resolutions then Customer may terminate the Agreement without liability or penalty.
