    1.Terms and Definitions

    Tencent Cloud TCHouse-D ("TCHouse-D") refers to the cloud data warehouse hosting service provided by Tencent Cloud that is easy to use, flexible, stable, and cost-effective. It is mainly used in business analysis and decision-making, log analysis, user behavior insights, enterprise management and other scenarios, subject to the Services you purchased and the service content provided by Tencent Cloud.

    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 Unavailability

    If all your consecutive attempts to establish a connection with the designated cloud data warehouse cluster fail within a minute due to Tencent Cloud, the Services will be deemed "Service Unavailability" within that minute, except for the circumstances specified in the Article 4 disclaimer of this Agreement.

    1.4 Monthly Service Unavailable Minutes

    "Unavailability Minutes within a Service Month" refers to the sum of the unavailable unit time in the Service Month.

    1.5 Total Minutes within the Service Month

    "Total Minutes within the Service Month" is counted as the total number of days for a within the Service Month × 24 (hours) × 60 (minutes).

    1.6 Monthly Service Fee

    The "Monthly Service Fee" for each cluster is calculated based on the actual consumption in a Service Month. For example, if you purchase a cluster on October 20, even if you pay for multiple months at once, the Monthly Service Fee for October only refers to the fees incurred from October 20 to October 31 for using the cluster.

    2. Service Availability/Service Success Rate

    2.1 Service availability calculation method

    Service Availability is calculated based on a single cluster as follows: "Service Availability" = (Total Minutes within the Service Month - Unavailability Minutes within a Service Month) / Total Minutes within the Service Month × 100%

    2.2 Service Availability Standard

    The Service Availability of the Services shall not be less than 99.9% (the "Service Availability Standard"), which means that the Service Availability of a single cluster in each service cycle shall be no less than 99.9%.

    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:

    3.1 Compensation Standard

    (1) Compensation will be provided in the form of vouchers issued by Tencent Cloud, and you must comply with vouchers usage rules (including usage period, etc., subject to the voucher-related rules published on the website of Tencent Cloud). The vouchers issued cannot be exchanged for cash, or be accompanied by invoices. 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.

    Service availability for the Service Month (Av)

    99.9% > Av ≥ 99.0%
    10% of Monthly Service Fee

    (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.
