Claims
Power Accelerate Credits are your sole and exclusive remedy for any performance or availability issues for any Service under the Agreement and this SLA.
Power Accelerate Credits apply only to fees paid for the particular Service, Service Resource, or Service tier for which a Service Level has not been met. In cases where Service Levels apply to individual Service Resources or to separate Service tiers, Power Accelerate Credits apply only to fees paid for the affected Service Resource or Service tier, as applicable. The Power Accelerate Credits awarded in any billing month for a particular Service or Service Resource will not, under any circumstance, exceed 10% of your previous purchased Power Accelerate credits.
If you purchased a Service from a reseller, you will receive a Power Accelerate Credit directly from your reseller and the reseller will receive a Power Accelerate Credit directly from us. The Power Accelerate Credit will be based on the estimated retail price for the applicable Service, as determined by us in our reasonable discretion.
Power Accelerate Credits
In order for Power Accelerate to consider a claim, you must submit the claim to customer support at Power Accelerate including all information necessary for Power Accelerate to validate the claim, including but not limited to: (i) a detailed description of the Incident; (ii) information regarding the time and duration of the Downtime; (iii) the number and location(s) of affected users (if applicable); and (iv) descriptions of your attempts to resolve the Incident at the time of occurrence.
For a claim related to Power Accelerate, we must receive the claim within two months in which the Incident that is the subject of the claim occurred. For claims related to all other Services, we must receive the claim by the end of the calendar month following the month in which the Incident occurred. For example, if the Incident occurred on February 15th, we must receive the claim and all required information by March 31st.
We will evaluate all information reasonably available to us and make a good faith determination of whether Power Accelerate Credit is owed. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to process claims during the subsequent month and within forty-five (45) days of receipt. You must be in compliance with the Agreement in order to be eligible for a Power Accelerate Credit. If we determine that a Power Accelerate Credit is owed to you, we will apply the Power Accelerate Credit to your Power Accelerate credit balance.

Monthly Uptime Calculation
“Monthly Uptime Percentage” for each API Service is calculated as Total Transaction Attempts less Failed Transactions divided by Total Transaction Attempts in a billing month for a given API subscription. Monthly Uptime Percentage is represented by the following formula:
Monthly Uptime % = (Total Transaction Attempts – Failed Transactions) / Total Transaction Attempts * 100
MONTHLY UPTIME PERCENTAGE < 95%
MAX. POWER ACCELERATE CREDIT 10%
