Customer Must Request Service Credit. In order to receive any of the Service Credits, Customer must notify CarMD within thirty (30) days from the time Customer becomes eligible to receive a Service Credit. Failure to comply with this requirement will forfeit Customer’s right to receive a Service Credit. This request must be in writing.

Maximum Service Credit. The aggregate maximum number of Service Credits to be issued by CarMD to Customer for any and all Downtime Periods that occur in a single calendar month shall not exceed thirty (30) days of Service added to the end of Your term for the Service. Service Credits may not be exchanged for, or converted to, monetary compensation.

API SLA Exclusions. The API SLA does not apply to any service(s) (i) caused by factors outside of CarMD’s reasonable control; (ii) that resulted from any actions or inactions of Customer or any third parties; or (iii) that resulted from Customer’s equipment and/or third party equipment (not within the primary control of CarMD). This API SLA states Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any failure by CarMD to provide the Service.
