4.Service Level Agreement Compensation
4.1 Compensation Plan
The compensation mechanism is applicable solely to Specific Service Availability duration, with the total duration of such incidents categorized based on Monthly Uptime Percentage.
Monthly Uptime Percentage | Service Credit | Monthly Downtime * |
---|---|---|
Greater than or equal to 99.95% | 0% | x < 21.6 Min. |
Less than 99.95% but greater than or equal to 99.0% | 10% | 21.6 Min.< x < 432 Min. |
Less than 99.0% but greater than or equal to 95.0% | 25% | 432 Min.< x < 2160 Min. |
Less than 95.0% | 100% | x > 2160 Min |
*: Duration samples assume 30 days a month, totalling 43,200 minutes. The actual calculation is based on the actual number of days of the month of the incident. |
4.2 Service Credit
Service Credits are calculated as a percentage of the monthly billed recurrent charge (excluding non-recurrent charge and usage-based charge) for UIFN, ITFS, DID and SMS service in the affected Specific Services that did not meet the Specific Services Availability SLA in that month. These Service Credits will be applied solely against future payments for UIFN, ITFS, DID and SMS service otherwise due from you. Service Credits may not be transferred or applied to any other account.
4.3 Credit Request and Payment Procedures
To receive a Service Credit, you must submit an official request to your account manager. Your request must be received by us by the end of the second billing cycle after which the incident occurred, and must include the following information:
a. Mention “UIFN, ITFS, DID and SMS service SLA Credit Request” in the subject line or content;
b. The dates, times, and affected services of each Unavailability incident that you are claiming;
c. Your company information, e.g., company name, service account.
Failure to provide the requested information will disqualify you from receiving a Service Credit. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, this SLA sets forth your sole and exclusive remedies, and M800’s sole and exclusive obligations for any unavailability, non-performance, or other failure to provide UIFN, ITFS, DID and SMS service.
4.4 Exclusion
The SLA does not apply to any unavailability, suspension, or termination of UIFN, ITFS, DID and SMS service directly or indirectly caused by factors outside our reasonable control, force majeure events, 3rd party vendor actions (proof of records from 3rd party vendor could be disclosed at our discretion), actions or inactions of you, your equipment,
software, or other technology, or arising from our suspension or termination of your right to use the applicable UIFN, ITFS, DID and SMS service in accordance with the Agreement.
4.5 Definition
“Monthly Uptime Percentage” is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of minutes during the month in which M800’s Specific Services were in the state of Unavailability (excluding planned and unplanned maintenance).
A “Service Credit” is a credit of the same billed currency, calculated as set forth above, that we may credit back to an eligible account.
A “3rd Party Vendor” means the operator of the origin service beyond the demarcation point of M800, including any telecommunication carrier and internet service provider.
A “Specific Service” is the service mentioned in the UIFN, ITFS, DID and SMS service SLA, including VoIP and Phone call service and short messaging service.
4.6 Compensation Sample
Below are examples illustrating the compensation standard, assuming the customer reported issues and the billing amount of the month in which the incident occurred:
Example A:
If a customer’s multiple virtual numbers are unavailable due to telecommunication carrier policy changes, while other calling features are operational.
Conclusion: Not applicable for compensation due to the 3rd party vendor policy change.
Example B:
If all customer calls are unavailable for 30 minutes without prior notification by the M800 team. And the customer was charged in the month the incident occurred as follows:
Non-recurrent Charge: USD 1,000
Recurrent Charge: USD 1,000
Usage-based Charge: USD 1,000
Conclusion: Customer is eligible to request a credit for 10% of the Recurrent Charge (USD 100), which will be deducted from future charges. The calculation would be as follows: [Service Credit: 10% of Recurrent Charge (USD 1,000) = USD 100]
