The number of licensed Concurrent Users is set forth on the Order Form.

1.2.3 Free Subscription: Certain services may be made available to Customer at no charge on an ongoing basis on the Website (the "Free Services"). All Free Services are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" and may be terminated by SMARTBEAR at any time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein.

Unavailability is measured over all Key Operating Hours in a calendar month and is based on unavailability time during that month. Unavailability exists when both Customer and SMARTBEAR are unable to access and use the features and functionality the Hosted Services in material respects. Unavailability is measured from the time a trouble ticket is created for the Customer to the time we confirm that the affected Hosted Services is available to transmit and receive data. If SMARTBEAR fails to meet the availability goal and the Customer provides AutomatedQA with a written request within five (5) business days of the last day of the month in which such failure occurred, we will provide a service credit to the Customer's account equal to one-thirtieth (1/30th) of the Customer's Monthly Service Charges for the affected Service for each cumulative sixty (60) minute period of unavailability or failure during the Key Operating Hours in the applicable month, up to a maximum of one-half (1/2) of the total Monthly Service Charges charged by SMARTBEAR to Customer during the applicable month for the affected Service. Service credits will not be available to Customer in cases where (a) the Hosted Services are unavailable as a result of the acts or omissions of Customer or its employees, contractors, agents or end-users; (b) the failure or malfunction of equipment, network, applications or systems not owned or directly controlled by SMARTBEAR; (c) circumstances or causes beyond the control of SMARTBEAR, including, without limitation, events of force majeure and third-party attacks on the SMARTBEAR network (such as ping and denial of service attacks); (d) scheduled maintenance with prior notice posted in the on-line bulletin; or (e) urgent maintenance with notice provided as soon as is commercially practicable under the circumstances. Any service credits provided under this Section 5.4 shall be SMARTBEAR's sole and exclusive liability, and Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, for unavailability of the Hosted Services.

5.5 Hazardous Applications: The Hosted Services are specifically not developed or licensed for help in managing nuclear, aviation, mass transit, and medical applications or in any other inherently dangerous application. Customer agrees that SMARTBEAR and its suppliers shall not be liable for any claims or damages arising from Customer's use of the Hosted Services for managing such applications or facilities used in connection with such applications.
