Rheaply Terms of Service

Last updated: November 17, 2023.

  1. Rheaply, Inc. (“Rheaply“) appreciates your interest in our company and services. Each time you access or use Rheaply’s online and/or mobile services, websites (including but not limited to www.rheaply.com, the “Sites”), and/or professional services (collectively the “Services”), including, but not limited to, any products, programs, and services described in this Terms of Service (the “TOS” or “Terms”), you represent that: (a) you have read and understand our Privacy Statement; and (b) you have read and agree to this TOS.
  2. This TOS hereby incorporates by this reference any additional terms and conditions posted by Rheaply through the Sites, or otherwise made available to you by Rheaply. By accessing or using the Site or any Rheaply product, program, or service, you agree to be bound by the TOS and additional terms and conditions posted by Rheaply through the Site or otherwise made available to you. For example:
    1. If you order Consulting Services, Field Services, or other professional services then, in addition to the TOS you agree to and are bound by the Rheaply Professional Service Terms.
    2. If you use Circularity then in addition to this TOS you agree to be and are bound by the Rheaply Circularity Terms.
    3. If you use Visibility then in addition to this TOS you agree to be and are bound by the Rheaply Visibility Terms.
    4. If you use Decommissioning Services, then   in addition to this TOS you agree to be and are bound by the Rheaply Decommissioning Service Terms.
  3. SUPPORT, & SERVICE LEVELS.
    1. Support. Rheaply provides technical support via both telephone and electronic mail on weekdays during the hours of 9:00 am through 5:00 pm central time with the exclusion of Federal Holidays (“Support Hours”). You may initiate a helpdesk ticket by calling +1.312.659.9910, (during Support Hours) or by emailing help@rheaply.com. Rheaply will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to all helpdesk tickets within one (1) business days.
    2. Service Level Terms. Services via the Site(s) will be available 95% of the time, measured monthly, excluding holidays, weekends, scheduled or requested maintenance by You, outages of third party connections or utilities, and any issue/problem beyond Rheaply’s. Your sole and exclusive remedy and Rheaply’s entire liability for Service availability will be: that for each period of downtime lasting longer than six hours, Rheaply will credit You 1% of Service fees for each hour of downtime. Downtime will begin to accrue as soon as You (with notice to Rheaply) become aware that the Services are down and will continue until Service availability is restored. To receive downtime credit, You must notify Rheaply in writing within twenty four (24) hours from when downtime commenced. Failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit. Downtime credit may not be redeemed for cash and will be limited to a total of one (1) credit per day up to the equivalent of a week of Service Fees in any one (1) calendar month. Rheaply will only apply a credit to the month in which the incident occurred.
