3. SERVICE DESCRIPTION

3.1. Pursuant to the Terms, QPQ shall provide End User service for the rapid deployment of EVM-based blockchains, through the software platform 1DLT under the following terms and conditions:

3.1.1. 1DLT is cloud based and accessed via the Portal and/or via APIs.

3.1.2. 1DLT Node(s): A dedicated virtual machine (VM) for each End User consisting of at least one Ethereum node. Number of nodes and size of VM depends on the Package chosen by the user.

3.1.3. Consensus as a Service (CaaS): Nodes are connected to a QPQ operated service called Consensus as a Service. The purpose of CaaS is to validate transactions on public blockchains and provide an output back to the 1DLT node(s). CaaS will connect to at least one or more public blockchains.

3.1.4. Transactions: For every consensus request that is sent to CaaS, a transaction is performed. A transaction is complete when the CaaS module passes an output message to the 1DLT node indicating that the transaction was successfully processed.

3.1.5. Bridge Services: A service enabling communication between two different DLTs.

3.1.6. Netwatch: QPQ will provide this capability to the End Users in order for them to see activity on the blockchains which CaaS is connected. End User can then therefore monitor its transactions.

3.1.7. Types of networks 1DLT Nodes are connected to:

Testnet: The End User of the service can ‘simulate’ scenarios and test the system. Service support is as a rule not provided for such services. To access a Testnet the End User shall subscribe for Testnet Package.

Mainnet: 1DLT Nodes are connected to other ‘live’ systems, networks and real end-users. 1DLT Nodes of End Users who subscribe for one of the Packages (except of Testnet Package) are connected to Mainnets.

4. TRIAL

4.1. The End User who subscribes for Testnet Package or Flex Package shall be eligible for Trial. The Trial shall commence on the date the End User enters into Trial period and will continue for 14 (fourteen) days for the Flex Package and for 30 (thirty) days for the Testnet Package (the “Trial Period”).

4.2. During the Trial Period the End User gets access to 1DLT Service free of charge for 1’000 transactions on Mainnet for Flex Package and for an unlimited number of transactions on Testnet for Testnet Package.

4.3. The Schedule 2 “Service Level Agreement” is not applicable during the Trial Period.

4.4. During the Trial Period support via Discord 7/5 will be provided.

4.5. Following expiry of the Trial Period the Agreement will automatically launch the selected subscription and debit the corresponding from the End User’s payment method. The subscription amount will be debited prior to the end of the Trial Period.

5. DURATION

5.1. The Agreement shall commence on the date that the End User agrees to these Terms and, subject to earlier termination in accordance with this Agreement, shall continue for the Term.

(a) prioritise all Support Requests based on its reasonable assessment of the severity level of the problem reported; and

(b) respond to all Support Requests in accordance with the responses and response times specified in the table set out below:

Severity level of Fault	Definition	Service level response and response time
1	Business Critical Failures: An error in, or failure of, the 1DLT Service that: a) materially impacts the operations of the End User’s business; or b) disables major functions of the 1QPQ Service from being performed.	Level 1 Response: Prompt acknowledgment of receipt of a Support Request. Level 2 Response: QPQ shall use reasonable endeavours to restore the 1DLT Service to a state that allows the End User to continue to use all functions of the 1DLT Service in all material respects within 8 hours after the Level 1 Response.

Level 1 Response: Prompt acknowledgment of receipt of a Support Request. Level 2 Response: QPQ shall, within 72 hours of receiving the Support Request, use reasonable endeavors to provide an emergency fix or workaround, which allows the End User to continue to use all functions of the 1DLT Service in all material respects.
