1. Definitions
“Maintenance” means scheduled Unavailability of SaaS Products, as announced by us prior to the SaaS Products becoming Unavailable.“Monthly Uptime Percentage” is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of minutes during the month in which the SaaS Products were Unavailable. Monthly Uptime Percentage measurements exclude downtime resulting directly or indirectly from any SLA Exclusion.
“Service Credit” means a credit denominated in the currency of your invoiced amounts, calculated as set forth below, that we may credit back to an eligible account.
“Unavailable” and “Unavailability” mean, for app services and databases, when our SaaS Products are not running or not reachable due to Audacix’s fault.
