During the term of the Google Cloud Platform License Agreement, Google Cloud Storage, Google Prediction API, Google BigQuery Service, Google Cloud SQL and Google Compute Engine License Agreement, or Google Cloud Platform Reseller Agreement (as applicable, the "Agreement"), the Covered Service will provide a Monthly Uptime Percentage to Customer of at least 99.95% (the "SLA").
If Google does not meet the SLA, and if Customer meets its obligations under this SLA, Customer will be eligible to receive the Financial Credits described below. This SLA states Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for any failure by Google to meet the SLA. Capitalized terms used in this SLA, but not defined in this SLA, have the meaning set forth in the Agreement. If the Agreement is the Google Cloud Platform Reseller Agreement, then all references to "Customer" in this SLA mean "Reseller," and any Financial Credit(s) will only apply for impacted Reseller order(s) under the Agreement.
Definitions
The following definitions apply to the SLA.
- "Covered Service" means Google Cloud SQL.
- "Downtime" means more than a twenty percent Error Rate. Downtime is measured based on server side Error Rate.
- "Downtime Period" means a period of one consecutive minute of Downtime in which at least five connection attempts are made with no concurrently open connections. Intermittent Downtime for a period of less than one minute will not be counted towards any Downtime Periods.
- "Error Rate" means the number of Valid Requests to open a connection that fail to open a connection, divided by the total number of Valid Requests during that period.
-
"Financial Credit"
means the following for the Covered
Services (except as otherwise set forth below):
Monthly Uptime Percentage Percentage of monthly bill for Covered Service which does not meet SLA that will be credited to future monthly bills of Customer 99.0% - < 99.95% 10% 95.0% - < 99.0% 25% < 95.0% 50% - "Monthly Uptime Percentage" means total number of minutes in a month, minus the number of minutes of Downtime suffered from all Downtime Periods in a month, divided by the total number of minutes in a month.
- "Valid Requests" are requests that conform to the Documentation, and that would normally result in a non-error response.
Customer Must Request Financial Credit
In order to receive any of the Financial Credits described above, Customer must notify Google technical support within thirty days from the time Customer becomes eligible to receive a Financial Credit. Failure to comply with this requirement will forfeit Customer’s right to receive a Financial Credit.
Maximum Financial Credit
The aggregate maximum number of Financial Credits to be issued by Google to Customer for any and all Downtime Periods that occur in a single billing month will not exceed 50% of the amount due by Customer for the applicable Covered Service for the applicable month. Financial Credits will be made in the form of a monetary credit applied to future use of the Service and will be applied within 60 days after the Financial Credit was requested.
