Effective Date: February 2026
This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") describes the availability targets, support commitments, and operational practices for the Lumina platform provided by Lumina Dental Ltd (Company No. 16067035).
This SLA forms part of the Terms of Service between Lumina and the Customer. Unless otherwise stated, the commitments in this SLA are operational targets, not contractual guarantees. Enterprise customers may negotiate binding service levels under a separate agreement.
Lumina targets 99.9% availability for the Service, measured on a calendar month basis. This is a design objective and operational target. Lumina does not currently offer formal SLA credits for downtime on standard subscription tiers.
Availability is calculated as follows:
"Downtime" means a period during which the core Service is materially unavailable to the Customer, excluding the events listed in Section 1.3 (Exclusions).
The Service is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure in the United Kingdom (eu-west-2, London region). The platform is deployed across multiple availability zones within eu-west-2 for resilience. There is no cross-region replication.
The following events are excluded from availability calculations:
Lumina may perform scheduled maintenance on the Service from time to time. Lumina will endeavour to:
Emergency maintenance (required to address security vulnerabilities or prevent imminent service degradation) may be performed without advance notice.
Support is provided in accordance with the Customer's subscription tier. Response times listed below are targets, not guarantees, unless expressly agreed in a separate Enterprise agreement.
| Tier | Response Target | Channels | Hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter Practice | Within 48 hours | Business hours | |
| Growing Practice | Same-day during business hours; within 24 hours outside business hours | Email, in-app | Business hours (extended) |
| Enterprise | Within 4 hours (dedicated account manager) | Email, in-app, phone | As agreed |
Business hours are 08:00 to 18:00 UK time, Monday to Friday, excluding English public holidays.
Where the Customer reports an incident, Lumina will assess its severity and respond accordingly:
| Severity | Definition | Target Response |
|---|---|---|
| Critical | Service is completely unavailable or a security breach is suspected | Within 1 hour (all tiers) |
| High | Core functionality significantly impaired for multiple users | Within 4 hours (all tiers) |
| Medium | Non-critical feature degraded or workaround available | Per tier response target |
| Low | Minor issue, cosmetic defect, or general enquiry | Per tier response target |
Severity classification is determined by Lumina acting reasonably. The Customer may request a reclassification with supporting justification.
During a Critical or High severity incident, Lumina will provide status updates at reasonable intervals until the issue is resolved or mitigated. Post-incident, Lumina will provide a summary of the root cause and remediation steps upon reasonable request.
Lumina maintains rolling backups of all Customer Data:
| Metric | Target | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Recovery Time Objective (RTO) | 4 hours | For critical service components. Actual recovery time may vary depending on the nature and scope of the incident. |
| Recovery Point Objective (RPO) | Near real-time | Database changes are captured continuously. In the event of a failure, data loss is expected to be minimal. |
These are operational targets. Lumina does not guarantee specific recovery times or zero data loss. In the event of a major incident, Lumina will use commercially reasonable efforts to restore the Service as quickly as possible.
Lumina operates continuous monitoring across the platform to detect and respond to issues proactively. This includes:
Lumina does not currently provide a public status page. If the Service becomes unavailable, Lumina may notify affected Customers by email where practicable.
For Customers on Starter Practice and Growing Practice tiers, this SLA describes operational targets only. In the event of a material failure to meet these targets, the Customer's sole remedy is to raise the issue with Lumina support and, if the matter is not resolved to the Customer's reasonable satisfaction, to terminate the Terms of Service in accordance with the termination provisions therein.
Enterprise customers may negotiate binding service level commitments, including service credits and specific remedies, under a separate written agreement. Such commitments, if agreed, will supersede the corresponding sections of this SLA to the extent of any conflict.
Lumina implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect Customer Data. These are described in detail in the Data Processing Agreement and on our Security page. Key measures include:
Lumina may update this SLA from time to time. For material changes that reduce the level of service described herein, Lumina will provide at least 30 days' written notice to the Customer. Changes that improve the level of service may be made at any time without notice.
