SaaS Service Level Agreement
Notice (Governing language). This document is provided in English. If translated versions are made available for convenience, the English version will govern in case of any conflict, inconsistency, or ambiguity.
This Service Level Agreement (SLA) defines the service levels, availability commitments, and support guarantees for Thinqhub Cloud's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions. This SLA is an integral part of our SaaS Terms of Service.
SERVICE AVAILABILITY
Uptime Commitment
We commit to providing 99.9% uptime for our SaaS Services, measured on a monthly basis. Uptime is calculated as:
Uptime % = (Total Minutes in Month - Downtime Minutes) / Total Minutes in Month × 100
Service Availability Definition
Service is considered "available" when:
- The SaaS application is accessible via the web interface
- Core application functionality is operational
- API endpoints are responding (where applicable)
- Data can be read and written through normal operations
Exclusions from Uptime Calculation
The following are excluded from uptime calculations:
- Scheduled maintenance windows (with advance notice)
- Emergency maintenance required for security or stability
- Customer-caused issues (misconfiguration, excessive resource usage, etc.)
- Third-party service outages (DNS, CDN, payment processors, etc.)
- Force majeure events (natural disasters, war, etc.)
- Customer's internet connectivity issues
- Violations of Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy
Scheduled Maintenance
We perform scheduled maintenance during low-traffic periods, typically during weekends or off-peak hours. We provide at least 48 hours' advance notice via email and in-app notifications for planned maintenance.
Emergency maintenance may be performed with minimal or no advance notice when necessary to address security vulnerabilities or critical stability issues.
