In the event of a notifiable data breach involving Personal Information, Rockley Consulting will notify the Customer as soon as practicable and cooperate with the Customer to manage its obligations under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.
15. Security and Platform Integrity
Rockley Consulting will implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures to protect backup infrastructure and Customer Data. However, the Customer acknowledges that no technology system can guarantee absolute protection against all security threats.
16. Infrastructure Dependencies
The Services depend on multiple external systems including cloud infrastructure providers, telecommunications networks, power infrastructure, and third-party software platforms. Rockley Consulting is not responsible for outages or failures caused by these external dependencies.
17. Backup Failure
The Customer acknowledges that backup systems may fail due to factors outside Rockley Consulting's control, including software faults, hardware failures, corruption of source data, or third-party platform issues.
Rockley Consulting will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify and remediate backup failures. Rockley Consulting does not guarantee uninterrupted backup success and is not liable for data loss resulting from backup failures caused by factors outside its reasonable control.
18. Ransomware and Corrupted Source Data
Rockley Consulting is not responsible for corruption, encryption, or deletion of Customer Data that occurs prior to the backup process, including incidents caused by malware, ransomware, or user actions within the Customer Environment.
If encrypted or corrupted data is successfully backed up prior to detection, restoration of that data may reproduce the corrupted or encrypted state. Rockley Consulting will use reasonable efforts to assist the Customer in identifying clean recovery points where available, but does not guarantee the availability of unaffected backup data in such circumstances.
19. Disaster Recovery Limitations
The Customer acknowledges that disaster recovery services depend on multiple factors including system integrity, availability of backup data, infrastructure availability, network connectivity, and third-party service availability. Accordingly:

- Recovery services are performed on a best efforts basis using reasonable skill and care
20. Service Availability
Rockley Consulting will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain availability of the Services. Service response targets and operational procedures are defined in the Service Level Agreement (SLA).
21. Warranties
Rockley Consulting warrants that Services will be delivered with reasonable skill and care consistent with industry practice. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, all other warranties are excluded to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Nothing in this Agreement is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify any right or remedy the Customer may have under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) or any other applicable legislation that cannot be excluded by agreement.
22. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Rockley Consulting's total liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement is limited to the total fees paid by the Customer for the Services during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

26. Fees, GST and Payment
Fees are defined in the applicable Order Form, Quote, or Product Schedule.
Unless otherwise stated, all fees are exclusive of GST. Where GST is payable on a taxable supply made under or in connection with this Agreement, the Customer must pay an additional amount equal to the GST payable on that supply, at the same time as the fee is payable.
Rockley Consulting will issue valid tax invoices in accordance with GST legislation. Invoices are payable within 14 days of the invoice date unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Rockley Consulting may suspend Services where payment obligations are not met within the payment period and a further 7 days written notice has elapsed without resolution.
27. Term and Termination
This Agreement begins on the Effective Date and continues until terminated. Minimum service terms are defined in the applicable Product Schedule.
Either party may terminate this Agreement by providing 30 days written notice to the other party, subject to any minimum term commitments in the applicable Product Schedule.

Upon termination or expiry of this Agreement:
- Rockley Consulting will retain Customer Data in the backup infrastructure for a period of 30 days following the effective date of termination (the Retention Period)
- During the Retention Period, the Customer may request a copy of their data in a format reasonably determined by Rockley Consulting
- At the end of the Retention Period, Rockley Consulting will securely delete or destroy all Customer Data from the backup infrastructure
- Upon request, Rockley Consulting will provide written confirmation that Customer Data has been deleted
The Customer remains responsible for obtaining any required data exports prior to the effective date of termination. Rockley Consulting is not obligated to retain Customer Data beyond the Retention Period.
Rockley Consulting may charge reasonable professional service fees for assistance with data export or recovery requests following termination. Any such fees will be communicated to the Customer in advance.
30. Suspension of Services
Rockley Consulting may suspend Services where payment obligations are not met, where systems pose a security risk to the platform or other customers, or where Services are being misused. Rockley Consulting will provide reasonable written notice prior to any suspension where it is safe to do so.

- If the dispute is not resolved within 20 Business Days of the written notice, either party may refer the dispute to mediation administered by the Australian Disputes Centre
- If the dispute is not resolved through mediation, either party may commence legal proceedings
This clause does not prevent either party from seeking urgent injunctive or other interlocutory relief from a court where necessary to protect their rights.

This includes corrupted databases, damaged files, or data encrypted by ransomware prior to the backup process.
5. Incident Response Process
When a service incident is reported by the Customer or detected by ROCKAXIOM monitoring, the following process applies:
- The incident is logged in the service management system.
- The incident priority is assessed against the classification criteria defined in Section 3.
- An initial response is provided within the applicable SLA response target.
- Investigation and remediation actions commence.
- Status updates are provided to the Customer where appropriate and practical.
- The incident is closed upon resolution or stabilisation and confirmed with the Customer.
Note: Incidents should be reported via support@rockaxiom.au or by calling 0432 30 76 25 during Business Hours. Critical incidents (Priority 1) should be reported by phone where possible to ensure the fastest possible response.
6. Recovery Assistance
Where a continuity event requires recovery services, ROCKAXIOM will provide assistance including:
- restoration of backup data to available recovery points
- database recovery assistance (where within scope of the applicable Product Schedule)
- identification of available and suitable restore points
- guidance and coordination during recovery operations
Recovery assistance is provided on a commercially reasonable efforts basis. Recovery timeframes are influenced by multiple factors including:
- availability of backup data at a suitable restore point
- hardware availability and replacement lead times
- network bandwidth at the Customer site
- total data volume requiring restoration
- complexity of the Customer Environment
Specific recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO) are not guaranteed unless expressly stated in the applicable Product Schedule.
Note: Included recovery labour is defined in the applicable Product Schedule. Additional recovery labour beyond what is included will be quoted and agreed prior to commencement. Recovery services beyond the included labour defined in the Product Schedule may be billed at the Provider's standard professional services rates.
Note: Restoration timeframes may increase where backup datasets exceed typical hospitality system sizes. ROCKAXIOM will use reasonable efforts to perform restorations as efficiently as possible but does not guarantee restore duration.
7. Planned Maintenance
ROCKAXIOM may perform planned maintenance on backup infrastructure, monitoring platforms, or supporting systems from time to time.
Where possible:
- maintenance will be scheduled outside Business Hours
- reasonable advance notice will be provided to affected Customers
- planned maintenance windows will be communicated via email to the Customer contact defined in the applicable Order Form
Planned maintenance may temporarily affect monitoring activity or backup job execution. ROCKAXIOM will use reasonable efforts to minimise impact on backup continuity during maintenance periods.
Note: Emergency maintenance required to address critical platform security issues or infrastructure failures may be performed without advance notice where delaying would pose a risk to the platform or Customer data.
8. Customer Responsibilities
The service levels defined in this SLA are contingent on the Customer fulfilling the responsibilities defined in the Shared Responsibility Schedule. In particular:
- maintaining operating systems and software on supported and patched versions
- maintaining reliable internet connectivity at the venue
- ensuring protected systems remain online and accessible during scheduled backup windows
- notifying ROCKAXIOM of any material changes to the Customer Environment prior to implementation
- promptly reporting known or suspected continuity events or backup failures
Failure to meet these responsibilities may impact service delivery and may result in SLA exclusions applying as described in Section 11.
9. Escalation Process
Where an incident requires escalation beyond initial investigation, the following escalation framework applies:
| Level | Stage | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Initial Response | Technical investigation and initial incident response. First point of contact for all reported and detected incidents. |
| Level 2 | Senior Technical | Senior technical review, advanced diagnostics, and escalated remediation where initial investigation has not resolved the incident. |
| Level 3 | Service Management | Service management escalation for complex, prolonged, or high-impact incidents requiring senior coordination and customer communication. |
Escalation ensures that appropriate technical expertise and management attention are applied to incidents that cannot be resolved through standard investigation. The Customer may request escalation at any time by contacting ROCKAXIOM and advising that they wish to escalate the incident.
10. Service Credits
Where ROCKAXIOM fails to meet the incident response targets defined in Section 3 of this SLA, the Customer may be eligible for service credits as follows:
| Credit Type | Amount |
|---|---|
| Per-incident service credit (where SLA response target is missed) | 10% of the monthly service fee for the affected system |
| Maximum service credits per billing period | 25% of the monthly service fee for the affected system |
Service credits are subject to the following conditions:
- The Customer must notify ROCKAXIOM of the basis for the service credit claim in writing within 30 days of the incident.
- Service credits will not be applied where the incident falls within an SLA exclusion category as defined in Section 11.
- Service credits are applied as a credit to the next billing cycle and cannot be redeemed for cash.
- Service credits represent the Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for service level failures.
Note: Service credits do not affect any rights the Customer may have under the Australian Consumer Law. Refer to Clause 21 of the Master Services Agreement for further detail on warranties and statutory rights.
11. SLA Exclusions
Service level targets defined in this SLA do not apply to incidents caused by or arising from the following:
| Exclusion Category | Example Scenarios |
|---|---|
| Customer Environment failures | Hardware failure, software misconfiguration, or system errors within the Customer's own infrastructure |
| Unsupported systems | Operating systems or platforms not defined within the applicable Product Schedule |
| Internet connectivity issues | ISP outages, venue network failures, or misconfigured network equipment |
| Power outages | Mains power loss or UPS failure at the Customer site |
| Cyber incidents affecting Customer systems | Ransomware, malware, or unauthorised access originating within the Customer Environment |
| Third-party infrastructure outages | Cloud provider, backup platform vendor, or telecommunications failures |
| Force majeure events | Natural disasters, government actions, or other events beyond reasonable control |
Note: Where an incident involves both ROCKAXIOM-controlled and Customer-controlled factors, ROCKAXIOM will use reasonable efforts to assist and will apply SLA targets to the extent the incident falls within its control. Refer to the Shared Responsibility Schedule for further guidance.
12. Reporting
ROCKAXIOM may provide periodic reporting where requested by the Customer or where included within the applicable Product Schedule.
Reports may include:
- backup activity summaries
- incident response summaries
- service activity reports
- restore verification outcomes (Enhanced and Continuity+ plans)
Reporting frequency and format will be agreed between the parties. Unless expressly included within the applicable Product Schedule, reporting is available on request and is not provided automatically.
13. Changes to this SLA
ROCKAXIOM may update this SLA from time to time to reflect improvements to service delivery, changes in operational practices, or updated service capabilities.
Customers will receive not less than 30 days written notice of any material changes to this SLA. Continued use of the Services following the notice period constitutes acceptance of the updated SLA terms.
Any amendments agreed between both parties must be recorded in writing and confirmed by authorised representatives of each party, in accordance with Clause 33 of the Master Services Agreement.
14. Acceptance
This Service Level Agreement forms part of the ROCKAXIOM service framework and applies to all Customers receiving services under the Master Services Agreement.
By accepting the ROCKAXIOM Master Services Agreement through the onboarding process, the Customer confirms they have read and understood the service level commitments and exclusions contained in this document.

Shared Responsibility Schedule
Schedule B to the Master Services Agreement
Technology Continuity, Backup and Disaster Recovery Services
| Provider | Rockley Consulting Pty Ltd (trading as ROCKAXIOM) |
| ABN | 78 673 819 773 |
| Document Reference | Schedule B · Shared Responsibility Schedule |
| Governing Law | Tasmania, Australia |
| Effective Date | As at the date of acceptance through the ROCKAXIOM onboarding process |
This document is accepted electronically as part of the ROCKAXIOM onboarding process. By accepting this agreement through the onboarding portal, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms set out below.
1. Purpose and Application
This Shared Responsibility Schedule (Schedule B) defines the allocation of operational responsibilities between Rockley Consulting Pty Ltd (trading as ROCKAXIOM), the Customer, and applicable Third Party Providers in the delivery of technology continuity, backup, and disaster recovery services.
This Schedule forms part of the ROCKAXIOM Master Services Agreement (MSA) and is intended to be read in conjunction with the Service Level Agreement (SLA) and applicable Product Schedules. In the event of any inconsistency between this Schedule and the MSA, the order of precedence set out in Clause 1 of the MSA applies.
The purpose of this Schedule is to:
- Clearly define the boundaries of ROCKAXIOM's responsibilities versus Customer responsibilities
- Identify where Third Party Providers operate outside the direct control of either party
- Reduce ambiguity in the event of service interruption, backup failure, or recovery incidents
- Support fair and transparent dispute resolution by establishing agreed operational ownership at the time of contracting
Note: This Schedule does not create any additional warranty, guarantee, or liability beyond what is expressly stated in the MSA. ROCKAXIOM provides technology continuity services, not managed IT services. Customer responsibilities in this Schedule are not optional.
2. Responsibility Key
The following labels are used throughout this Schedule:
| Label | Party |
|---|---|
| ROCKAXIOM | Rockley Consulting |
| Customer | Customer / Venue |
| Third Party | Third Party Provider |
| Shared | Shared responsibility |
3. Infrastructure Responsibilities
ROCKAXIOM manages and maintains the backup infrastructure platform. The Customer is responsible for the environment being protected, including all venue-side hardware, networking, and power.

| Physical security of venue equipment | Customer |
| Backup agent installation on new systems | Shared |
Note: ROCKAXIOM manages the backup platform and its agents, but cannot control or guarantee the availability, stability, or security of the Customer's on-site environment. Service delivery depends on the Customer maintaining a stable, connected, and accessible infrastructure at all times.
4. Backup Operations
ROCKAXIOM manages all aspects of backup job configuration, scheduling, and monitoring. Customer responsibility begins at the source data level.
| Area | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| Backup job configuration | ROCKAXIOM |
| Backup scheduling | ROCKAXIOM |
| Backup monitoring and alerting | ROCKAXIOM |

| Validation of restored data and applications | Shared |
| Communication with staff and stakeholders during incident | Customer |
| Recovery time and recovery point objectives | Shared |
Note: ROCKAXIOM assists in the recovery process using commercially reasonable efforts. ROCKAXIOM does not guarantee all data will be recoverable or that systems can be restored to a specific point in time. Recovery outcomes depend on backup data availability, infrastructure condition, and Customer-controlled systems.
Note: Recovery time may be affected by hardware performance, storage speed, system capacity, and network bandwidth within the Customer Environment. These factors are outside ROCKAXIOM's control.
8. Security Responsibilities
ROCKAXIOM secures the backup platform and all backup data. Endpoint security, user access management, and cyber security practices within the Customer Environment are the Customer's responsibility.

| Network perimeter security | Customer |
| Incident response for Customer Environment breaches | Customer |
| Maintaining appropriate cyber and business interruption insurance | Customer |
Note: ROCKAXIOM cannot prevent ransomware, malware, or security incidents that originate within the Customer Environment. The backup platform is a protective measure and does not substitute for appropriate endpoint security, cyber insurance, or a Customer incident response plan.
Note: Customers are strongly encouraged to maintain appropriate cyber security and business interruption insurance. ROCKAXIOM services do not replace insurance coverage.
9. Data Responsibilities
The Customer retains full ownership of all Customer Data. ROCKAXIOM holds a backup copy for the purpose of restoration services only.
| Area | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| Ownership of Customer Data | Customer |
| Data integrity at source | Customer |

| Data restoration services | ROCKAXIOM |
| Data validation and testing after restore | Shared |
| Data export prior to termination | Customer |
| Compliance with applicable data privacy laws | Shared |
| Notifiable data breach management | Shared |
Note: Restored data must be validated by the Customer before returning systems to production use. ROCKAXIOM provides restoration assistance but does not guarantee the completeness or accuracy of restored data where source data was already corrupted or incomplete at the time of backup.
10. Third Party Provider Dependencies
ROCKAXIOM engages Third Party Providers to deliver components of the service. These providers operate independently and their availability is outside the direct control of either ROCKAXIOM or the Customer.
| Third Party Service | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| Cloud infrastructure provider (storage and compute) | Third Party |
