1. Service Level Commitment. During the Subscription Term for which Chinafy has agreed to provide a service to you, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a Monthly Uptime Percentage to you in accordance with the table below (“Service Level Commitment”):
Note that Standard Service Level is the minimum service level applied to all Chinafy plans. Premium Service Level refers to Pro+ plans and Enterprise Service Levels apply to Enterprise plans.
2. Service Credits.
(a) If we confirm there is a failure to meet the Service Level Commitment in a particular calendar month and you make a request for service credit within fifteen (15) days after the end of such calendar month, you will be entitled to a credit based on (a) the monthly fees invoiced in the month experiencing such failure, if you have a monthly subscription plan or (b) 1/12 of annual fees invoiced for the affected Cloud Product you have provisioned, if you have an annual plan (“Service Credit”). To receive a Service Credit, you must submit an email to info@chinafy.com with all fields fully and accurately completed, and provide any other reasonably requested information or documentation. Our monitoring and logging infrastructure is the source of truth for determining Monthly Uptime Percentage, errors and whether we have met the Service Level Commitment. All calendar months will be measured in UTC time zone.
(b) The Service Credit will be calculated based on the ratio listed in
Plan support levels multiplied by the excess beyond the associated Uptime Percentage. For illustration, the Service Credit under the Enterprise plan would be
If the Monthly Fee is $1,000, the Premium Service Level Applies, and Chinafy experiences an uptime of 99.25%, then the calculation is: 25 x $1,000 x (99.95% - 99.25%) = $175
We will apply each Service Credit against a future payment otherwise due from you for Chinafy, provided that your account is fully paid up, without any outstanding payment issues or disputes. No refunds or cash value will be given for unused Service Credits. Service credits are non-transferable. The aggregate maximum of Service Credits applied to an invoice will not exceed 100% of the amount invoiced for the affected Cloud Product in that invoice billing period (as opposed to the actual month Chinafy was unavailable). We reserve the right to deny a Service Credit if you do not qualify for one.
(c) If you ordered Chinafy through a Reseller, (x) you or the Reseller remain responsible for submitting a ticket (an email) as set forth in Section 2(a) above; and (y) any Service Credits will be based on the fees invoiced to the Reseller for you use of Chinafy under its applicable order(s) with us, we will issue any associated Service Credits to the Reseller (not directly to you), and the Reseller will be solely responsible for issuing the appropriate amounts to you. Section 2(b) applies to the Reseller and its applicable orders and invoices with us.
