Service Level Agreement (SLA) (Basecamp)

Open Legal LibraryUpdated 17 Oct 2025

This Service Level Agreement (SLA) outlines Basecamp's commitment to providing 99.99% monthly uptime for its customers. It details how uptime is measured and specifies that if the guaranteed uptime is not met, customers will receive an automatic credit on their next billing cycle.

[name of product/service] SLA

Thousands of companies rely on [name of product/service]. Just like you, [name of product/service] is our company's lifeline. It’s where we make decisions, share designs, debate ideas, broadcast companywide announcements, and keep up to date on what everyone's working on. That's why we guarantee 99.99% monthly uptime to teams on [name of product/service].

What is “uptime”?

“Uptime” refers to the period of time when [name of product/service] is up and running.

How do I find [name of product/service]’s uptime?

We make our uptime public here: [link address to uptime page].

What happens if it’s below 99.99%?

Our Ops team is working so that we won’t find ourselves in that situation. But stuff happens, so if our uptime drops below 99.99%, we will provide an automatic credit under our SLA to our customers on their next billing cycle. For any given day where an outage exceeds 5 minutes, we’ll credit your account 10x for a full hour that is equal to the hourly rate you pay us for use of [name of product/service]. You can always check up on us . That is the full limit of our liability under this SLA. Now you can get back to your work with the peace of mind knowing that we’ve got you covered.

How do we track that uptime?

We track uptime by measuring the server side error rate along with using server monitoring software to look at results from ping tests, web server tests, TCP port tests, and website tests. Any changes to [name of product/service]'s uptime are immediately shown on our .

Will this change in the future?

[name of product/service] may update this SLA once in a blue moon — we’ll notify you about significant changes by emailing the account owner or by placing a prominent notice on our site.

What if I have questions about this SLA?

Please get in touch with [support email address] and we’ll be happy to answer them!

Templates in our curated library are professionally drafted for US or UK law. The wider library comes from the GitLaw community and public sources - a solid starting point, but check any template fits your situation before you rely on it.

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.

It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.

Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.

Yes. Upload a Word, PDF, or Markdown file and GitLaw will open it in the editor. You can review, edit, or chat with GitLaw about it the same way you would with any template from the library.
