Up- and down times / warranty

Qdossier warrants to you that commercially reasonable efforts will be made to maintain the online availability of the service permanently (excluding scheduled outages, force majeure and outages that result from any customer technology issues).

Customer claims against Qdossier, which result from the non-availability or non-functioning of the system, for whatever reason, are excluded. Dossplorer warrants to you the online availability of the service as per the performance indicators below:

Platform uptime: 98%
Platform availability: 24/24 hours per day and 7/7 days per week
