Terms of services

Empiric’s Hosted Software is designed from the ground up to provide reliable service to our customers. We have invested in technology, operations, and infrastructure to safeguard customer data and to prevent downtime. Empiric’s Hosted Software runs on Amazon’s industry-leading Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform, which provides scalable and redundant cloud computing infrastructure to the world’s largest enterprises.

Empiric’s distributed software architecture spreads computation across multiple physical servers and replicates stored data across multiple physical storage devices. As a result, no single hardware failure can affect service availability. We are pleased to offer our customers the following 99.9% uptime SLA:

This Service Level Agreement (this “Agreement”) sets forth Empiric’s obligations and our customers’ rights with respect to the performance of Empiric’s Hosted Software. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in the Terms of Service accepted by you (the “Customer”) and Empiric (the “Customer Agreement”). The standard terms of service are available at Empiric.com/support.
