Software Schedule: Varicent Incentive Compensation Management

The following are the specific terms and conditions for the Software entitled “Varicent Incentive Compensation Management” (“ICM”) ordered by Customer as a Cloud Service pursuant to the Varicent Cloud Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) at https://www.varicent.com/legal_terms. Capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement or elsewhere herein. Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Schedule to Sections means the Sections of this Schedule.

1. DESCRIPTION OF ICM

1.1. Entitlements. Varicent charges for use of ICM and its Add-ons on a per Entitlement basis and based on the ICM Package purchased by Customer as described in Section 1.3 below. The Entitlements for ICM are outlined in the subsections below. Customer shall procure sufficient quantities of the following types of Entitlements for its actual use of the Cloud Service:

(a) "Payee". Unless otherwise agreed-upon in an Order, this Entitlement is defined as an individual who is actively participating in one or more programs and is managed or tracked by Customer or any of its Subsidiaries using the Cloud Service.
(b) "Add-on". Each optional add-on which may be added to Customer’s ICM Package shall be considered an Entitlement. The potential Add-ons available to Customer are listed in Section 1.4 below.

Each type of Payee set out above shall have either a Growth, Business or Premier designation depending on the ICM Package purchased. A Payee must be designated as an Authorized User by Customer in order to access the Cloud Services. For clarity, the phrase “actively participating” or “active” means that such Payee is included in tables within the Cloud Service offering calculation capabilities; as of February 2023, such table is the System Effective Dated Payee Table. Customer may remove or replace inactive Payees with active Payees at any time without requiring the purchase of additional Entitlements provided Customer does not exceed the number of Entitlements set forth in an Order. Additional Payees may be added at any time upon the Parties’ execution of an Order

1.2. Description and Base. ICM automates the process of calculating, reporting, and administering variable-based pay, such as sales commissions and bonus programs, in a SaaS environment. The base Fee for each ICM Package includes:

(a) An administrative client that is used to build compensation plan logic, construct reports, and configure aspects of the Cloud Service;
(b) One Administrative User per twenty-five (25) standard Payees purchased by the Customer. An “Administrative User” is an Authorized User who partakes in the creation and/or ongoing administration of incentive compensation plans on Customer’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ behalf and accesses the Cloud Service through the administrative client.
(c) A web portal through which sales representatives, operations staff, and managers can obtain Documentation and Support Services, and perform certain functions through a web interface (for example, approving a compensation plan document before it is sent to an employee).

1.3. ICM Packages. In addition to what is included in the base Fee as described in Section 1.2, Customer shall subscribe for an ICM Package in the Order for the Cloud Service, based on the features for such ICM Package as described in Appendix 1 below.

This offering is geared for customers who wish to leverage an automated process by which raw data is extracted from one or multiple data sources, loaded into Varicent’s Symon.AI database and transformed into information which can be analyzed.

ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS FOR APPENDIX 1 

Data Retention means the number of years for which Customer Data will be retained by Varicent, managed on a rolling timeline. 

Data Volume means the total number of Record Lines processed by the ICM during each month. A “Record Line” is a line item (row) from an .xml, .csv, or like file record from a physical or electronic document newly loaded or processed by the ICM. For clarity, a daily count of newly generated record lines is used and purged data that is then re-imported is considered a new record.

Multi-Tenant means each Customer ICM model will be stored in a dedicated database in a shared Relational Database System with other Varicent customers.  A “Relational Database System” is a collection of individual databases that store Varicent customer data and Varicent ICM configurations.

Non-Production Instance means a configuration of the Cloud Service whose use is restricted to Customer’s non-production activities, including testing, performance tuning, fault diagnosis, benchmarking, staging, quality assurance, and developing internally used additions or extensions to the Cloud Service using published application programming interfaces. Customer, its Subsidiaries, and Authorized Users shall not, and shall not permit or authorize any Person, directly or indirectly, to use any Non-Production Instance for any production activities.

Response Time Service Level Objectives (SLO) refers to the timelines within which Varicent will provide a response to Severity 1, 2, 3 and 4 tickets, as outlined in more details in the Support Services Schedule.

Recovery Time Objective means the number of days by which Varicent will restore the Customer’s access to the Cloud Service in the event of a Force Majeure Event.
