This Agreement contains the terms and definitions of the Services, service availability/service success rate grade indicator, compensation plans, disclaimers, and other relevant contents. Please be sure to read and fully understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Limitations, disclaimers, and other terms involving your material rights and interests may prompt your attention in bold, underlined, etc.
Please do not purchase or use the Services unless you have thoroughly read, fully understood, and accepted all the terms of this Agreement. By clicking “Agree” or “Next”, or purchasing or using the Services, or accepting this Agreement in any other explicit or implicit manner, you are deemed to have read and agreed to be bound by this Agreement. This Agreement shall have legal effect between you and Tencent Cloud and shall become a legally binding document for both parties.
1. Terms and Definitions
1.1 Tencent Cloud StreamLive Service
“Tencent Cloud StreamLive Service” refers to a high-quality streaming platform provided by Tencent Cloud, which offers broadcast-level real-time online streaming media processing services. StreamLive is characterized by the utilization of Tencent Cloud's unique high-performance video encoding and compression algorithms. These algorithms help to save on transmission bandwidth while ensuring a superior viewing experience. By using this service, clients can create high-quality video streams, which can be distributed to various types of devices.
1.2 Service Month
“Service Month” refers to each natural month included in the service term of the Services you purchase. For example, if you purchase the Services for three months, and the date of service opening is March 17, then four Service Months are included, of which the first Service Month refers to March 17 to March 31, the second Service Month refers to April 1 to April 30, the third Service Month refers to May 1 to May 31, and the fourth Service Month refers to June 1 to June 16. Service availability will be accounted separately for each Service Month.
1.3 Service Failure Rate
For active channels, provided there is valid input from the user, the “Service Failure Rate” refers to the number of outputs not produced due to failures in the StreamLive service within a unit of time, divided by the number of outputs that should have been produced by the StreamLive service. Here, the output refers to the output set for the channels in the StreamLive service. Service statistics of Tencent Cloud StreamLive take 5 minutes as a unit. The following scenarios do not constitute service failures caused by faults in the StreamLive service:
(1) Service exceptions due to abnormal push/input streams.
(2) Exceptions caused by account or domain name suspension due to content violation or non-compliance.
(3) Unauthorized hotlinking and failed authentication due to reasons not attributed to Tencent Cloud.
(4) Service Unavailability due to failure to follow the product usage documentation or usage recommendations of the Services.
(5) Incorrect requests or Service Unavailability due to reasonable upgrades, changes or downtime initiated by the StreamLive service.
1.4 Service Unavailability
It is deemed as “Service Unavailability” within a unit time (5 minutes as a unit time) if the Service Failure Rate is more than 30% (excluding this number) within a unit time. It is counted as “Service Unavailability Minute” when Service Unavailability lasts for 10 minute or more. Minutes less than 10 minute are not counted as Service Unavailability Minutes. Service Unavailable Minute is measured according to the Failure Rate of the server side.
1.5 Service Unavailability Minute
“Service Unavailable Time” refers to the sum of the unavailable minutes of the StreamLive Service in the Service Month.
1.6 Large-Scale Business Surge
When you have a large-scale business surge, please inform Tencent Cloud in writing at least 3 working days in advance (you can inform the corresponding business personnel of Tencent Cloud by email), otherwise the availability may be affected. Tencent Cloud does not provide business availability commitments for large-scale business surges that you do not notify in writing in advance as agreed, and Tencent Cloud will not be liable for any impact on service availability.
Surge indicator: Your average number of channels in the past month is more than or equal to 10, and on the day of the surge, the number of channels is more than or equal to twice the average number of channels in the past month.
1.7 Total Minutes within the Service Month
“Total Minutes within the Service Month” = the total number of days within the Service Month × 24 (hours) × 60 (minutes).
1.8 Monthly Service Fee
“Monthly Service Fee” refers to the total amount of service fee under your Tencent Cloud account for the StreamLive in a Service Month. Please refer to the billing description document for more details.
2. Service Availability/Service Success Rate
2.1 Calculation of Service Availability
“Service Availability” = (1 - Unavailability Minutes within the Service Month / Total Minutes within the Service Month) × 100%.
2.2 Service Availability Standard/ Service Success Rate Grade Indicator
The Service Availability of the Services provided by Tencent Cloud shall not be less than 99.7% (the “Service Availability Standard”). If the Service Availability Standard is not met (excluding cases covered by disclaimers), you shall be entitled to compensation in accordance with Article 3 of this Agreement.
3. Compensation Plan
For the Services, if the Service Availability is lower than the Service Availability Standard, you shall be entitled to compensation as per the following terms:

Such vouchers can only be used to purchase the Services through your corresponding Tencent Cloud account, and cannot be used to purchase other services provided by Tencent Cloud. The vouchers cannot be transferred or gifted, etc.
(2) If the Service Availability Standard in this Agreement is not met in a Service Month, the compensation will be calculated separately according to the corresponding Service Month, and the total amount of compensation shall not exceed the corresponding Monthly Service Fee paid by you for the Services for the respective month (excluding fees offset by vouchers, coupons, service fee deductions, etc.).
Service Availability | Compensation Voucher Amount |
Less than 99.70% but equal to or higher than 95.00% | 5% of Monthly Service Fee |
Less than 95% | 10% of Monthly Service Fee |

(1) If the Service Availability Standard is not met in a Service Month, you may claim for compensation only through the work order system of your corresponding account after the fifth (5th) business day of the month following the end of the corresponding Service Month in which the Service Availability Standard is not met. Tencent Cloud will conduct verification after you have filed the claim for compensation. In case of a dispute between the parties regarding the calculation of the Service Availability in the Service Month, both parties agree that Tencent Cloud’s backend records shall ultimately prevail.
(2)The latest deadline for you to file a claim for compensation shall not exceed sixty (60) calendar days after the end of the corresponding Service Month that the Service Availability Standard is not met.
