Service Levels


The Service Levels for the ELEVATE PLATFORM shall be as follows: Monthly average availability: 99.9%.


Availability is a number expressed as a percentage which is calculated by subtracting Unexcused Downtime from Maximum Uptime and dividing that number by the Maximum Uptime in that month.

Maximum Uptime means the applicable calendar month in its entirety (i.e., 24 hours per day, seven days per week), minus Excused Downtime.

Excused Downtime means:

(i) any Downtime for scheduled maintenance outside of standard business hours

(ii) any Downtime excused in accordance with Section 15.8 (Force Majeure).

Unexcused Downtime means Downtime minus Excused Downtime.

Downtime means that the applicable ELEVATE Services are not accessible by Customer and Users or not performing in accordance with the warranty.
