Theta Lake warrants a 99.999% System Availability of Services as outlined in the Order Form contained within this Agreement, excluding Emergency Maintenance, Scheduled Maintenance, and as otherwise defined in Section 5 below. 

System Availability Calculation:

If Theta Lake’s System Availability is less than 99.999%, and if Customer has fulfilled its obligations under the Agreement and this SLA, Theta Lake will provide Customer with a Service Credit for the month in which the failure to meet the System Availability has occurred. System Availability is calculated as follows:

The following equation shall apply: (A – B) / C = D; where the values equal:

1. Total number of minutes per calendar month
2. Downtime
3. Total number of minutes per calendar month, excluding Scheduled Maintenance, Emergency Maintenance, and unavailability based on the limitations described in Section 5 below
4. System Availability

Table 1. Monthly Service Credit 

System Availability	Service Credit
Less than 99.999%	10%
Less than 98.0%	25%
Less than 95%	100%

4. Filing a Monthly Service Credit Claim.

If Theta Lake fails to meet the minimum monthly System Availability as described above, Customer may submit a claim for a Service Credit.

Customer must submit a claim via the Support Portal or to [e-mail] that includes: (i) a detailed description of the Downtime; (ii) information regarding the duration of the Downtime; and (iii) descriptions of Customer’s attempts to resolve and/or notify Theta Lake of the Downtime at the time of occurrence. Theta Lake must receive the claim and all required information by the end of the calendar month following the month in which the Downtime occurred. For example, if the Incident occurred on February 15th, Theta Lake must receive the claim and all required information by March 31st.

Theta Lake will use its best efforts to process claims within forty-five (45) days of receipt. Customer must be in compliance with the Agreement in order to be eligible for a Service Credit. If Theta Lake determines that a Service Credit is owed to Customer, Theta Lake will issue such Service Credit.

If Customer purchased the Service from a Theta Lake Partner, as defined in the Agreement, Customer will receive a service credit directly from the Theta Lake Partner and the Theta Lake Partner will receive a Service Credit directly from Theta Lake. Theta Lake will determine the amount of the Service Credit issued to the Theta Lake Partner based on the applicable Order Form.
