    1. Terms and Definitions

    Refers to the easy-to-use, flexible, stable, cost-effective and efficient cloud data warehouse hosting services provided by Tencent Cloud, which are mainly applied to business analysis and decision-making, log analysis, user behavior insight, business operations and management and other scenarios, subject to the services actually purchased by you and provided by Tencent Cloud.

    1.2 Service Month(s)

    Service Month(s) refers to the calendar month(s) within the term of the Service purchased by you. For example, if you purchase the Service for a term of three months starting from March 17, there will be four (4) Service Months until June 16 (the first Service Month from March 17 to March 31, the second from April 1 to April 30, the third from May 1 to May 31, and the fourth from June 1 to June 16). The Service Availability will be calculated separately for each Service Month.

    1.3 Service Unavailability

    In a certain minute, if all your continuous requests to establish a connection to a specified Cloud Data Warehouse Cluster (“Cluster”) fail attributable to Tencent Cloud, the Service is deemed as unavailable (“Service Unavailability”) in such minute, except under the circumstances as set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement.

    1.4 Service Downtime Calculated in Minutes within Service Month(s)

    The sum of unavailable unit time in a Service Month is Service Downtime Calculated in Minutes within such Service Month.

    1.5 Total Number of Minutes within Service Month(s)

    Total Number of Minutes within Service Month(s) = the total number of days in such Service Month(s) × 24 (hours) × 60 (minutes).

    1.6 Monthly Service Fee

    Each Cluster calculates the Monthly Service Fee separately based on the actual consumption in a Service Month. If you purchase a Cluster on October 20, even if you pay for services in multiple months in a lump sum, the Monthly Service Fee for October only refers to the fee incurred for using such Cluster from October 20 to October 31.

    2. Service Availability

    2.1 Calculation of Service Availability

    Service Availability is calculated on a single Cluster basis as follows:
    Service Availability = (Total Number of Minutes within a Service Month - Service Downtime Calculated in Minutes within such Service Month) / Total Number of Minutes within such Service Month × 100%.

    2.2 Service Availability Standard

    The Service Availability for the Service shall be no less than 99.9% (“Service Availability Standard”), which means that the Service Availability for a single Cluster shall be no less than 99.9% in each Service Month.

    3. Compensation Plan

    In respect of the Service, if the Service fails to meet the Service Availability Standard, you will be entitled to compensations in accordance with the following terms:

    (1) Compensations will be made in the form of voucher by Tencent Cloud, and after receiving the voucher, you should use the voucher by abiding the voucher usage rules (including usage period, etc., subject to the voucher usage rules published on Tencent Cloud official website). Such voucher cannot be converted into cash, and no invoice will be issued with respect thereof. The voucher may only be used to purchase the Service by using your Tencent Cloud account, and you cannot use the voucher to purchase other services of Tencent Cloud, nor should you give the voucher to a third party for consideration or for free.
    (2) If the Service fails to meet the Service Availability Standard in any Service Month, the amount of compensation shall be calculated for such Service Month independently, and the aggregate amount shall be no more than the Monthly Service Fee you pay for the Service in the Service Month in which the Service fails to meet the Service Availability Standard (the Monthly Service Fee excludes the portion deducted by vouchers, coupons, service fee reduction or exemption, etc.).

    (2) You shall apply for compensation no later than the sixtieth (60th) calendar day following the end of the Service Month in which the Service fails to meet the Service Availability Standard.
