1. SERVICE AVAILABILITY

1.1 Service Availability. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Services to achieve Service Availability greater than or equal to 99.9% in each calendar month, but We do not guarantee that this service level can or will always be achieved.

(a) Service Availability” means the percentage of time during which the Services are available for online use by Customer, as measured by Athennian in accordance with this Service Level Agreement.

(b) Service Availability during each calendar month will be calculated by Athennian using the following formula:

where SA means Service Availability, M means the number of minutes in the calendar month minus (Scheduled Downtime Minutes plus Excused Performance Deficiency Minutes), and O means Unscheduled Outage Minutes.

1.2 Calculation and Reporting. We will measure and calculate Service Availability each calendar month.  Service Availability is only measured for production environments, and only after Your first commercial use of the Services (being use other than for implementation or testing purposes).  You can view Service Availability reporting and subscribe to updates by visiting https://status.athennian.com/.
