Service performance

Cloudbric service must maintain a certain level of performance in the following categories to meet the customers’ needs.

–  The monthly availability percentage is calculated with the following equation.

–  Monthly Availability Percentage = (Customer usage-Verified failure)/Customer usage X 100

–  The target availability is set for 99.95% or above. (The target availability for and only for ADDoS is set for 99.99%)

–  As specified in [Annex 1. Policy for Cloudbric’s service credit], customers are qualified for the Service credit if and when the monthly availability fails to meet the target availability.

–  Under no circumstances will the Service credit be compensated to the customer exceeding the amount of the Monthly service fee.

 

Failure response procedure

–  The customer sends a report to Cloudbric Corp via Cloudbric’s website if and when a service failure occurs. The report will include information such as, but not limited to, service type, IP address, date, time, and the error message.

–  Cloudbric Corp reviews the Service failure.

–  All decisions made by Cloudbric Corp regarding the Service credit are legally binding.

–  The monthly service fee must continue to be paid in full by the customer while the Service failure is under review and the Service credit is undergoing evaluation by Cloudbric Corp.
