9. Service Level Agreement.

Service Availability Objective. CoSo Cloud’s objective is to make reasonable efforts to provide Service Availability of 99.99% as measured on a monthly basis for all production-managed services. Service Availability is defined as the time that the Service is capable of receiving, processing, and responding to requests and calculated as a percentage by dividing the number of minutes the Service is available during the applicable month minus the total number of minutes of Downtime (if applicable) experienced by all users in a given calendar month, all by the number of total minutes in the applicable month, excluding (a) Scheduled Maintenance, (b) Emergency Maintenance; (c) Customer Error Incidents, (d) Force Majeure, (e) Product Defects, (f) factors outside of CoSo Cloud reasonable control, and (g) errors caused by Customers exceeding provisioned capacity.
Remedy for Failure to Achieve Service Availability Objective. CoSo Cloud will calculate your Service Availability at your request during a given calendar month. In the event that the Service Availability Objective was not met in a given month, then for each day in such month that the duration of the Service unavailability exceeds four (4) continuous hours, you are entitled to receive a one (1) day Service credit up to a maximum of 30 days, subject to the Agreement and requirements of this Section 9 (Service Level Agreement).
Service Credit Claims. CoSo Cloud will only consider the Service unavailable if you opened a trouble ticket relating to the Service unavailability with the CoSo Cloud customer support department within three (3) business days of the Service unavailability. To obtain credit for CoSo Cloud’s failure to meet the Service Availability Objective, you must request such credit in writing no later than the calendar month following the month of the Service unavailability giving rise to your credit request. In the event of a conflict between the data in your records and CoSo Cloud’s records, the data in CoSo Cloud’s records shall prevail. If you purchased the Service on a monthly or pay-per-use basis, you are not eligible for any credits arising from or relating to Service unavailability. Any Service credit due hereunder will be applied to your account at the conclusion of the then-current term for the applicable Service. The Service credit offered in this Section 9 shall be your sole and exclusive remedy for any failure of the Service or any failure of CoSo Cloud to meet the Service Availability Objective. Any unused Service credits shall expire upon termination of this Agreement.
