Cognite One Support Core Service Level Agreement

LAST REVIEWED AND UPDATED ON 29 JANUARY 2026

This Cognite One Support Core Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) sets out the agreed service level for the Subscription Items provided by Cognite to the Customer on a subscription basis, as specified in the applicable Subscription Order Form.

This SLA is subject to and is an integral part of the Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this SLA shall have the meaning set out below, in the Subscription Order Form and in the Agreement. The remedies set out in the SLA constitute the Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for any failure by Cognite to meet the SLA.

1. Availability of Core Subscription Items

Cognite shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure availability* of at least 99.9% for Core Subscription Items subject to the exceptions within this SLA.

A further description of how Cognite ensures availability and business continuity is available here: https://docs.cognite.com/cdf/trust/security/availability_continuity/.

2. Back-up of Core Subscription Items

Cognite shall make commercially reasonable efforts to run backup of data once per day for all resource types, and once per week for time series and sequences. Further information about resource types, time series, and sequences is available here: https://docs.cognite.com/dev/concepts/resource_types/.

Back-up restore is performed by Cognite after an incident caused by circumstances outside the Customer’s control. The Customer may have to reload data if data was extracted to the Core Subscription Items after the point in time that the backup was restored to. Upon request, Cognite may assist the Customer with backup restore in other cases subject to payment for such assistance at Cognite’s then-current rates.

3. Business Applications

3.1 Support for Business Applications

Cognite shall support Customer Business Application(s) pursuant to this Section 3.1 provided that it has been agreed in a separate Order Form or agreement.

Provided that the prerequisites set out in Section 3.2 are met, Cognite shall:

1. Provide hosting, bug fixes, security and compatibility updates, and disaster recovery, for each Component;
2. Ensure that the Components are available to provide for the functionality of Business Applications which shall be described in a separate Order Form or agreement between the Parties; and
3. Provide Business Application support according to Section 5,6 and 7 of this SLA.

If the Customer wishes to take over the operations and support of the Business Application(s) from Cognite (for this to be performed by the Customer or a Cognite certified partner) at the expiry of the Initial Subscription Period or a Renewal Subscription Period, the Customer must notify Cognite and terminate the Business Application Subscription as allowed for in the relevant Order Form.

For the avoidance of doubt, the implementation of new features (change requests) in the Business Application is not in the scope of the Customer’s Business Application Subscription, unless explicitly stated otherwise in the Agreement.

3.2 Prerequisites for Business Applications

For this SLA to apply to a Business Application, the following prerequisites shall be met:

1. The Customer has completed the Signoff of the Business Application under the Agreement as further specified therein;
2. The Business Application has passed a technical review by Cognite, and the results thereof are documented for each Component;
3. All Components of the Business Application, code, and deployment pipelines, are hosted by Cognite; and
4. The Customer has appointed a product owner and/or service manager to serve as change authority and to connect the support team to business processes and technical expertise when required to resolve an issue.

4. Maintenance

To keep the Subscription Items running smoothly, software updates are continuously released and maintenance is performed when deemed necessary by Cognite. Updates are considered part of the continuous platform operation and do not require announcements to or approval from the Customer.

During maintenance, the Subscription Items, or parts thereof, may become unavailable to the extent necessary for the adequate performance of maintenance. Unavailability or downtime due to planned maintenance shall not constitute a breach of the SLA, or entitle the Customer to Service Credits.

Maintenance will be announced at least two weeks in advance in appropriate channels. Exceptions can be made at the discretion of Cognite in case of urgent security updates, critical production issues, or severe security threats.

5. Cognite Support

5.1 Support Portal

Cognite’s support service portal is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and 365 days per year via the following link:https://support.cognite.com (“Support Portal”). The Customer's requests to the Support Portal and support provided by Cognite shall be in English. The Customer shall be responsible for organizing and training a first-line support team that shall have the sole interface with Cognite.If Cognite, following an assessment of a request in the Support Portal, determines that a reported issue was caused by the Core Subscription Items and/or Business Applications, Cognite Support will resolve the issue in accordance with Section 5.4. If Cognite determines that the reported issue was not caused by the Core Subscription Items or Business Application(s), Cognite shall inform the Customer thereof without undue delay. Cognite will have no obligation to resolve such issues. Upon request, Cognite may assist Customer with resolving issues not covered by this SLA subject to payment for such assistance at Cognite’s then-current rates.

5.2 Managed Help Desk

Cognite shall support Customer pursuant to this Section 5.2 provided that it has been agreed in a separate Order Form or agreement.

The Managed Help Desk is a human-led support service provided by Cognite that includes:

1. a centralized point of contact, via an online support portal or other designated channels, for the Customer to submit support cases;
2. Cognite’s performance of case management activities, including but not limited to, initial triage, diagnosis, and issue resolution efforts by Cognite personnel; and
3. Cognite’s commitment to providing a first human response to cases.

Cognite’s Managed Help Desk is available 24 hours per day, 5 days per week (during business days). The Customer's requests to the Managed Help Desk and support provided by the Managed Help Desk shall be in English. The Customer shall be responsible for organizing and training a first-line support team that shall have the sole interface with the Managed Help Desk.

5.3. Severity

All requests to the Support Portal and Managed Help Desk are classified with a severity level set by the submitter. Cognite reserves the right to re-classify a request to the appropriate severity level with retroactive effect, after consultation with the Customer.

If Cognite provides a workaround solution that temporarily enables the Customer's business to substantially function with minor or no impediments, the severity level shall not be higher than level C.

5.4 Response and resolution times

The following response and resolution time objectives apply to Cognite’s first response to, and resolution of, issues caused by the Core Subscription Items:

In case of a breach of the resolution time for Severity A tickets (i.e. ticket resolution time above 8 hours), the excess resolution time will be counted as unavailability/downtime as long as the ticket remains a Severity A ticket, unless the issue of the ticket is already reflected/counted in the general availability calculation of the Core Subscription Item. Only one ticket is considered per issue.

6. Periodic Updates

Cognite shall provide period updates on support tickets according to the table below:

7. Service Credits for Core Subscription Items

If a Core Subscription Item and/or Business Application subscribed to by Customer under the Subscription Order Form does not meet the required availability and the unavailability negatively impacts the operations of the Customer, the Customer shall be entitled to compensation in the form of service credits as set out in the table below ("Service Credits") subject to Section 6.

Service Credits shall amount to the percentage of the monthly fees for the relevant Core Subscription Item and/or Business Application specified in the table below (Service Credit %). Such percentage is dependent on the monthly availability of the Subscription Item in question (monthly availability %), as set out in the table below. Service Credits are credited to future invoices.

In order for the Customer to be entitled to Service Credits under this SLA, the Customer shall submit a request for Service Credits via a standard request form (the "Service Credit Form"). A fully executed Service Credit Form shall be submitted by the Customer to its designated Cognite account manager within 30 days after the end of the month when the Customer experienced the breach of the SLA.. If the Customer does not submit the Service Credit Form within the required timeframe set out herein, the Customer shall not be entitled to any Service Credits for the breach of the SLA. Upon Customer’s request, Cognite shall swiftly provide Customer with a copy of the Service Credit Form.

The maximum aggregate number of Service Credits issued by Cognite to Customer for all breaches of the SLA in a single month shall not exceed 25% of the amount due from the Customer for the Core Subscription Item and/or Business Application(s) for that applicable month.

8. Technical Account Team

The Customer shall have remote access to the Technical Account Team during the initial Service Period agreed in the relevant Order Form when the Customer first purchases a Subscription to the Core Subscription Item(s). Unless otherwise agreed, the Customer shall no longer have access to the Technical Account Team after the initial Service Period has expired or 3 months, whichever comes first (“Availability Period”).

The Technical Account Team is available 8 hours per business day, 5 business days per week (excluding public holidays) during the Availability Period to handle the scope of requests from the Customer that are included as specified in the relevant Order Form. The Technical Account Team will handle requests from the Customer subject to the following service level:

1. Initial response time upon ticket submission: A target of 6 business hours;
2. Resolution time: To be agreed between the Technical Account Team and the Customer depending on what is required for resolving each request.

Sections 5,6 and 7 of this SLA do not apply to the Technical Account Team. The Customer shall not have dedicated members from the Technical Account Team under this SLA.

9. Diagnosis on Customer Solutions

Cognite shall support Customer pursuant to this Section 9 provided that it has been agreed in a separate Order Form or agreement.

If a Customer requests assistance with diagnosis of issues with their own solutions which are embedded with the Core Subscription Items and are not Business Applications, then Cognite shall spend a maximum of three (3) hours assisting the Customer to diagnose the issue. Sections 5,6 and 7 of this Cognite SLA do not apply to this Section 9.

10. Exclusions

This SLA, including any right to Service Credits, do not apply to any breach, performance, or availability issues that:

• Are due to factors outside of Cognite’s reasonable control (for example, natural disaster, war, acts of terrorism, riots, government action, or internet service provider or cloud vendor failures or delays);
• Result from the use of services, hardware, or software not provided by Cognite, including, but not limited to, issues resulting from inadequate bandwidth or related to third-party software or services;

• Result from the Customer´s unauthorized action or lack of action when required, or from the Customer's employees, agents, contractors, or vendors, or anyone gaining access to Cognite’s Subscription Item by means of the Customer´s passwords or equipment, or otherwise resulting from the Customer's failure to follow appropriate security practices;
• Result from the Customer’s failure to adhere to any required configurations, use supported platforms, follow any policies for acceptable use, or the Customer’s use of the Subscription Item in a manner inconsistent with the features and functionality of the Subscription Item (for example, attempts to perform operations that are not supported) or inconsistent with our communicated guidance;
• Result from faulty input, instructions, or arguments;
• Result from the Customer’s attempts to perform operations that exceed prescribed quotas or that resulted from Cognite’s throttling of suspected abusive behavior;
• Are due to the Customer’s use of Subscription Item features that are outside of associated support windows or impact the availability of the Subscription Items; or
• Relate to licenses reserved, but not paid for, at the time of the incident.
• Relate to add-ons, extensions, or optional modules, whether developed by Cognite or a third party, third-party software, integrations, or services, including any APIs, connectors, or plug-ins not part of the Core Subscription Items, customizations, configurations, or modifications made at the request of, or by, the Customer or any third party, Customer-developed code, scripts, or any other user-generated content; and any beta, preview, or experimental features not generally available to all customers under the Company’s standard subscription plans, including but not limited to Artificial Intelligence features.
