End-of-contract data extraction

Users can request to have all data relating to them deleted at any time via our support team and inline with GDPR.
End-of-contract process
We offer a range of contract pricing options. A standard 'capital and revenue' contract is available, but we also offer a 'savings share' contract whereupon we would agree to take a percentage of savings from the purchasing organisation for money saved via our technology platform.

Bespoke development carries additional cost (£950 per day), but it is rare that it is requested as the service we provide is suitable for most applications.

The end of a contract would simply involve the withdrawal of our service or the removal of access to data.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
We aim to offer a 99% up time.
Users would not be offered a refund for an outage, which would be incredibly unlikely; as they are not paying for the service (FOC).
Approach to resilience
We operate a shared security model between our cloud provider (Amazon Web Services) and Evergreen Life. We are increasingly moving to a PaaS and SaaS model, so that the cloud provider takes responsibility for infrastructure SLA's, patching and maintenance. We use availability zones within the cloud to ensure a service can survive a hardware failure. This will offer our users the highest possible level of service availability.
Outage reporting
Evergreen Life have a public dashboard, an API and email alerting.
