The Supplier shall at all times during the Contract Period provide the Goods and/or Services to meet or exceed the Service Level Performance Measure for each Service Level Performance Criterion.

The Supplier acknowledges and agrees that any Service Credit is a price adjustment and not an estimate of the Loss that may be suffered by the Customer as a result of the Suppliers failure to meet any Service Level Performance Measure. A Service Credit shall be the Customer’s exclusive financial remedy for a Service Level Failure except where: the Supplier has over the previous twelve (12) Month period accrued Service Credits in excess of the Service Credit Cap; the Service Level Failure: exceeds the relevant Service Level Threshold; has arisen due to a Prohibited Act or wilful Default by the Supplier or any Supplier Personnel; and results in: the corruption or loss of any Customer Data (in which case the remedies under Clause 34.2.8 (Protection of Customer Data) shall also be available); and/or the Customer being required to make a compensation payment to one or more third parties; and/or the Customer is otherwise entitled to or does terminate this Contract pursuant to Clause 41 (Customer Termination Rights) except Clause 41.7 (Termination Without Cause). Not more than once in each Contract Year, the Customer may, on giving the Supplier at least three (3) Months notice, change the weighting of Service Level Performance Measure in respect of one or more Service Level Performance Criteria and the Supplier shall not be entitled to object to, or increase the Contract Charges as a result of such changes, provided that: the total number of Service Level Performance Criteria for which the weighting is to be changed does not exceed the number set out, for the purposes of this clause, in the Contract Order Form; the principal purpose of the change is to reflect changes in the Customer’s business requirements and/or priorities or to reflect changing industry standards; and there is no change to the Service Credit Cap. This Clause 14 shall apply if the Customer has specified both Service Credits and Critical Service Level Failure in the Contract Order Form. On the occurrence of a Critical Service Level Failure: any Service Credits that would otherwise have accrued during the relevant Service Period shall not accrue; and the Customer shall (subject to the Service Credit Cap set out in Clause 36.2.1(a) (Financial Limits)) be entitled to withhold and retain as compensation for the Critical Service Level Failure a sum equal to any Contract Charges which would otherwise have been due to the Supplier in respect of that Service Period (“Compensation for Critical Service Level Failure"), provided that the operation of this Clause 14.2 shall be without prejudice to the right of the Customer to terminate this Contract and/or to claim damages from the Supplier for material Default as a result of such Critical Service Level Failure. The Supplier: agrees that the application of Clause 14.2 is commercially justifiable where a Critical Service Level Failure occurs; and acknowledges that it has taken legal advice on the application of Clause 14.2 and has had the opportunity to price for that risk when calculating the Contract Charges.
