This SLA does not apply to the availability of Third Party Services. The SLA is binding only on the Customer and Cloudbric and does apply to any third parties.
The issuance of SLA Credits defined below is the sole and exclusive remedy of Customer and Cloudbric’s sole and exclusive obligation, for any failure by Cloudbric to satisfy the requirements set forth in this SLA.
The terms and conditions of this SLA is not applicable to any and all Services delivered to Customer by Cloudbric during the Beta Period.
DEFINITIONS
“Applicable Monthly Service Fees” means the total fees paid by Customer for the Services that are applied to the month in which a Service Credit is owed.
“Customer Minutes” means the total number of minutes in a month.
“Loss of Services” means a period during all continual WEB requests for the Customer’s Server specified in the Profile that are made throughout the minute to do not result in a valid Web Response within [five (5) continuous minutes] excluding unavailability of the Services due to limitations describe in SLA CREDIT EXCLUSION below.
“Service Credit” is the percentage of the Applicable Monthly Service Fees credited to Customer subject to Cloudbric’s APPROVED PROCEDURE below.
“Service Level” means the performance metric(s) set forth in this SLA that Cloudbric agrees to meet in the delivery of Services, e.g., monthly availability.
“Verified Outage” means Loss of Services that has been verified by Cloudbric using its monitoring logs of accessibility to the Services during any given month.
“Valid Web Response” means a WEB response, received from at least one of the Cloudbric WAF virtual machine, to a Web request for the domain name specified for a given Cloudbric WAF Profile.
“Cloudbric WAF Profile” or “Profile” refers to a deployment of the Cloudbric WAF service created by Customer containing a domain name, IP Address, and other configuration settings, as represented in the Cloudbric Website.
SERVICE LEVEL COMMITMENT
The “Monthly Availability Percentage” for the Services is calculated by the following formula:
Monthly Availability Percentage = 100 x (Customer Minutes - Verified Outage) / Customer Minutes
If the Monthly Availability Percentage falls below 99.95% for any given month, Customer may be eligible for the Service Credit pursuant to EXHIBIT A.
The Service Credits awarded in any billing month shall not, under any circumstance, exceed Customer’s monthly Service fees for that billing month.
