SLA — Service Level
Applicable to Business and Enterprise plans. Last updated: 24 April 2026.
1. Scope
This Service Level Agreement (SLA) describes the availability commitments, support response times and compensation regime that Certyneo undertakes to customers subscribing to a Business or Enterprise plan. It supplements the General Terms of Use (/legal/terms) and, in case of conflict, the SLA takes precedence on availability and support matters.
The scope covers the electronic signature platform accessible via https://certyneo.com, the REST API documented at /docs, as well as webhooks and native integrations listed in Annex 1 of the customer contract.
2. Availability
Target: 99.9% monthly availability, calculated on the calendar month, excluding the exclusions described below. This represents a maximum of ~43 minutes of unavailability per month.
Measurement: availability is measured by our external synthetic probes (executed every 60 seconds from at least two AWS regions) on the endpoints GET /, GET /api/health and POST /api/envelopes. A service is considered unavailable if at least two consecutive probes fail with an HTTP 5xx code or exceed the 10-second timeout.
Exclusions: planned maintenance windows (announced 72 hours in advance, limited to 4 hours/month, preferably outside EU business hours), force majeure events, outages of third-party infrastructure directly attributable to a named subcontractor (IONOS, Resend, Twilio, Stripe — outage acknowledged by the provider), and incidents caused by customer misuse of the service (quota overflow, DDoS attack carried via customer credentials).
3. Support Response Times
Requests are classified by severity level upon ticket creation, according to the following matrix:
| Severity | Definition | Business | The Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
| P1 — Critical | Service completely unavailable or loss of integrity of a signed envelope. | Response within 2 hours | Response within 1 hour, 24/7 |
| P2 — High | Major feature broken without viable workaround. | Response within 4 business hours | Response within 2 business hours |
| P3 — Medium | Minor bug with workaround, functional question. | Response within 1 business day | Response within 4 business hours |
| P4 — Low | Enhancement request, documentation question. | Response within 3 business days | Response within 1 business day |
Business hours are 9am–6pm CET/CEST, Monday to Friday excluding French public holidays. The Enterprise plan covers P1 and P2 24/7.
4. Compensation in Case of Breach
If measured monthly availability falls below 99.9%, a credit is applied to the following month's invoice according to the schedule below, as a percentage of the plan's monthly fee:
- Between 99.0% and 99.9%: 10% credit
- Between 97.0% and 99.0%: 25% credit
- Below 97.0 %: 50 % credit
Cumulative credit cannot exceed 100 % of the current monthly charge, and is applied automatically to the next invoice without any action required by you. You also retain the right to terminate for legitimate cause if three consecutive months fall below the 99.0 % threshold.
5. Claims Procedure
Requests for application of this SLA must be sent by email to support@certyneo.com with the subject line [SLA] <mois> <année>. Certyneo will confirm the observed availability measure and, where applicable, apply the credit within 30 days.
In the event of persistent disagreement over the interpretation of the SLA, the parties undertake to a mediation phase (maximum 1 month) before any legal proceedings, in accordance with the amicable dispute resolution clause in the Terms and Conditions.
