This Service Level and Support Agreement (“SLSA”) is entered into by and between CDG and Customer and is subject to the CDG Terms of Service located at: https://www.cloudoingood.com/terms-and-conditions (the “Agreement”). Capitalised terms used and not defined in this SLSA will have the meanings set forth in Agreement.
