  • 95% of the digital assets (video, pictures, MRZ, document verification, etc.) will be uploaded to TrustCloud within 310 seconds of the video call ending.

6. Forecasting Dependency

TrustCloud ability to meet the Performance Standards is dependent on materially accurate volume forecasting by Client.

In addition, if:

(i) Client’s daily usage during the first month of service is 15% higher than the volume of Transactions contracted divided by the number of months of the duration of the contract for those Transactions; or

(ii) Client’s daily usage from the second month of service increases by more than 15% of the prior calendar month’s daily average, and

(iii) TrustCloud has not received reasonable prior warning -at least sixty (60) days in advance and agreed to, such increase (including with respect to payments for such increase), or

(iv) the Service is otherwise not being used as intended in a manner that significantly increases the number of transactions processed by TrustCloud from Client,

then TrustCloud is entitled to scale down Client’s usage to a level no less than Client’s daily average for the prior calendar month plus 15% in order to minimize the impact on TrustCloud provision of Services to other Clients, disable features or portions of the Service provided to Client. In these instances, the quality of the Service provided to Client may be adjusted accordingly, the Performance Standards shall not apply while the Service is being scale down, and TrustCloud shall have no liability to Client in connection with any actions taken by TrustCloud under this Paragraph.

If the Client’s daily average usage exceeds the prior calendar month’s average daily usage by 15% in two or more successive months, no further rise of the daily average usage can be executed, and the Client will be offered to either contract to a paid increase in Transactions, or an increase the levels agreed in the first month in which the consumption increased by more than 15% of the prior month´s daily average usage.

In relation to the arrangements set out in Paragraphs 8 (i) and (iiI), the increase limit of 15% shall operate both to the aggregate usage of all the Services provided by TrustCloud to Client and to the individual usage of each Service per Sales Order. For this purpose, each Sales Order in which TrustCloud Assisted VideoID is performed shall be considered as an individual Service.
