1. Definitions

The following defined terms apply to this Service Level Agreement for the Services APIs (as defined below) (“SLA”).

“Actual Monthly Uptime Percentage” = (A-B+C)/A, where:

A = Total Monthly Time (as defined below);
B = Unavailable Monthly Time (as defined below); and
C = Excluded Monthly Times (as defined below).

“Monthly Uptime Percentage Threshold” means the applicable percentage set forth in the table in Section 2 (Service Commitments) of this SLA under the heading, “Monthly Uptime Percentage Threshold.”

Services Applications”means, collectively, the YakChat Messaging App, Teams Bot and PowerAutomate Connector.

“Service Credit” means the credit that Customer is eligible to request pursuant to Section 4 (Service Credit Request) of this SLA if (a) the Actual Monthly Uptime Percentage is less than the applicable Monthly Uptime Percentage Threshold or (b) there is a failure to achieve a Successful Connection Rate (as defined below). A Service Credit is calculated by multiplying the applicable percentage set forth in Section 2 (Service Commitments) of this SLA by (x) the fees Customer actually incurs for the affected Twilio Services APIs or (y) Customer’s email package fees for the affected SendGrid Services API, in either case, for the applicable calendar month.

“Total Monthly Time” means the total number of minutes in the applicable calendar month.
