4. Environment Management - Uptime, Maintenance, Backups & Disaster Recovery.

Microsoft alone is responsible for all Hosting Environment functions, including but not limited to availability/uptime, disaster recovery, backups, patching, security updates, and environment management. Loan Vision disclaims all warranties and liability arising from or related to the Hosting Environment. Customer’s sole remedy for Hosting Environment issues is any remedy made available by Microsoft under Microsoft’s terms/SLA. Loan Vision will reasonably cooperate with Customer to seek such remedies and, to the extent received, will pass through applicable service credits. For clarity, Hosting Environment unavailability will not constitute Loan Vision’s breach.

5. Communications. In addition to the mechanisms for giving notice specified in the Main Agreement, unless expressly specified otherwise in this SLA or any other document, the parties may use email for communications on any matter referred to herein.

6. Modifications. You acknowledge and agree that we have the right, in our sole discretion, to modify this SLA from time to time, and that modified terms become effective on posting. You will be notified of modifications through notifications or posts on our website or an email communication from us. You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of the modifications will be deemed acceptance of the modified terms.
