Formula |
Performance Credits |
Example Calculation(s) |
| Citus Health Platform will be available to Authorized Users for normal use 100% of the time each month, excluding the Maintenance and Upgrade Window |
(Actual Uptime / Scheduled Uptime) * 100 = Percentage Uptime |
Where Percentage Uptime is greater than 99.9%, no Performance Credits will be due to Customer
Where Percentage Uptime is equal to or less than 99.9%, and Customer notifies Citus of such failure Customer shall be due Performance Credits in the amount of 5% of the Monthly Subscription Fee (as calculated on a monthly basis for the reporting month) for each 1% reduction in Percentage Uptime |
Reporting month is February 2018 (40,320 minutes)
Maintenance and Upgrade Window of Tuesdays from 2:00 a.m to 4:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (equals Excusable Downtime of 480 minutes)
Scheduled Uptime equals 39,840 minutes (total minutes of 40,320 in February 2018 less 480 minutes of Excusable Downtime)
Assuming Actual Uptime of 39,100 minutes. A Percentage Uptime is calculated as follows: (39,100 / 39,840) *100 = 98.14%
Customer is due 1% Performance Credits |
- Definitions:1) “Actual Uptime” shall mean the total minutes in the reporting month that the Citus Health Platform were available to Authorized Users for normal use.
2) “Maintenance and Upgrade Window” shall mean Tuesdays from 2:00 a.m. Eastern Time until 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time
3) “Excusable Downtime” shall mean the total minutes in the reporting month for: (A) routine maintenance occurring during the Maintenance and Upgrade Window; (B) scheduled downtime required for software upgrades, server maintenance, general repairs, and system testing that has prior notification; (C) emergency maintenance and downtime as long as Citus gives Customer at least 1 hour prior notice; (D) downtime due to the acts or omissions of Customer; or (E) a failure of the Internet and/or telecommunications networks..
