“Applicable Monthly Service Fees” means the total fees actually paid by you for a Service that are applied to the month in which a Service Credit is owed.
“Downtime”means the total minutes in a month during which the aspects of a Service specified in the following table are unavailable, excluding (i) Scheduled Downtime; and (ii) unavailability of a Service due to limitations described in Section 5(a) below.

“Incident” means (i) any single event, or (ii) any set of events, that result in Downtime.
“Scheduled Downtime” means periods of Downtime related to network, hardware, or Service maintenance or upgrades.
”Service” or Services” refers to the online service(s) indicated at the begining of this SLA and purchased by you pursuant to the Agreement.
“Service Credit” is the percentage of the Applicable Monthly Service Fees credited to you following our claim approval. We may, at our discretion, offer the credit in the form of additional subscription time following our claim approval.
- Service Level Commitment. The “Monthly Uptime Percentage” for a Service is calculated by the following formula:
If the Monthly Uptime Percentage falls below 99.9% for any given month, you may be eligible for the following Service Credit:
Monthly Uptime Percentage | Service Credit |
< 99.9% | 25% |
< 99% | 50% |
< 95% | 100% |
- Service Credit Claim.
If we fail to meet the minimum Monthly Uptime Percentage described above for a Service, you may submit a claim for a Service Credit.
You must submit a claim to customer support that includes: (i) a detailed description of the Incident; (ii) information regarding the duration of the Downtime; (iii) the number and location(s) of affected users (if applicable); and (iv) descriptions of your attempts to resolve the Incident at the time of occurrence. We must receive the claim and all required information by the end of the calendar month following the month in which the Incident occurred. For example, if the Incident occurred on February 15th, we must receive the claim and all required information by March 31st.
We will evaluate all information reasonably available to us and make a good faith judgment on whether a Service Credit is owed. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to process claims during the subsequent month and within forty five (45) days of receipt. You must be in compliance with the Agreement in order to be eligible for a Service Credit.
- Limitations
(a) This SLA and any applicable Service Levels do not apply to any performance or availability issues:
- Due to factors outside our control;
- That result from your or third party services, hardware, or software;
- Caused by your use of a Service after we advised you to modify your use of a Service, if you did not modify your use as advised;
- During pre-release, beta and trial Services (as determined by us);
- That result from your unauthorized action or inaction or from your employees, agents, contractors, or vendors, or anyone gaining access to our network by means of your passwords or equipment;

(c) This SLA will not apply to any on-premise licensed software that is part of any Service.
- Purchase of Multiple Services. If you purchased more than one Service listed in Section 1 above (not as a suite), then you may submit claims pursuant to the process described above in Section 4 as if each Service was covered by an individual SLA. For example, if you purchased both Exchange Online and SharePoint Online (not as part of a suite), and during the term of the subscription an Incident caused Downtime for both Services, then you could be eligible for two separate Service Credits (one for each Service), by submitting two claims under this SLA.
- Purchase of Multiple Services together. If you purchased Services as part of a suite or other single offer, the Applicable Monthly Service Fees and Service Credit for each Service will be pro-rated.
