      1. Terms and Definitions

      1.1 Tencent Cloud Face Recognition Service: the Tencent Cloud Face Recognition Service provided by Tencent Cloud is a technical method to identify a user by comparing his/her face in the selfie (or selfie video) with that in the ID photo. The Service mainly implements AI technologies such as liveness detection and facial recognition.
      1.2 Service Period: a Service Period is one calendar month. The Service Availability is calculated on the basis of one Service Period, which is one calendar month. Any period shorter than one calendar month will not be counted as a Service Period and no Service Availability will be calculated for such period.
      1.3 Failed Request: the Tencent Cloud Face Recognition Service deems any request with an error code of “InternalError” and any request that fails to reach the server end of the Face Recognition Service due to the malfunction of the Tencent Cloud Face Recognition Service as a Failed Request, excluding any of the following requests:
      (1) any request failed by the Face Recognition Service due to requests in excess of the QPS (Query Per Second) of the Face Recognition Service (error code: InternalError) which results from the adoption of inappropriate access modes.
      (2) any error request or unavailability of the Service due to reasonable upgrades, modifications, or suspensions initiated by the Face Recognition Service.
      (3) any request failed by the Face Recognition Service (error code: InternalError) due to hacker attacks on your application.
      1.4 Valid Request: any request received by the server end of the Tencent Cloud Face Recognition Service will be deemed as a Valid Request, excluding any of the following requests:
      (1) any request that is sent without subscription to or authorization of the Service, that fails the authentication, and that is sent with overdue fees or with incorrect keys.
      (2) any request sent by your application suffering attacks by hackers.
      Error Rate Per 5 Minutes: Error Rate Per 5 Minutes = (Count of Failed Requests per 5 minutes / Count of all requests per 5 minutes) * 100%
      1.5 Monthly Service Fee: The total of service fees you paid for the Face Recognition Service within a calendar month. If you have paid service fees for multiple months in a lump sum, the Monthly Service Fee will be calculated by dividing the service fees by the number of the months you paid for.

      2. Service Availability

      The Tencent Cloud eKYC Service promises a Service Availability of 99.9%. You are entitled to the compensation as set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement if the Service Availability fails to meet the Service Availability promised above.

      2.1 Calculation of the Service Availability

      The Service Availability of the Tencent Cloud Face Recognition Service is calculated on the basis of Service Periods. The average of the Error Rate Per 5 Minutes is calculated by dividing the sum of Error Rate Per 5 Minutes within a Service Period by the total number of 5-minute periods in that Service Period, from which the Service Availability is then derived, i.e., Service Availability = ( 1 – The sum of Error Rate Per 5 Minutes in a Service Period / The total number of 5-minute periods in that Service Period ) * 100%.
      Note:
      the total number of 5-minute periods in a Service Period = 12*24*number of days in that Service Period.

      2.2 The Scope of Release of Liability

      If the Service is unavailable due to any of the following circumstances, such unavailability of the Service will be excluded from the scope of compensation:
      (1) ordinary system maintenances and upgrades;
      (2) maintenance or malfunction of any external object on which the Service relies;
      (3) where the Service is unavailable due to reasons attributable to you or any third party, or due to force majeure;
      (4) any circumstance where the Service is unavailable or failed to meet the Service Availability standard due to any reason not attributable to Tencent Cloud;
      (5) any other circumstance where Tencent Cloud will be exempted or released from its liabilities for compensation or otherwise according to relevant laws, regulations, agreements or rules, or any relevant rules or guidelines published by Tencent Cloud separately.

      3. Compensation Plan

      In respect of the Service, if the Service Availability is lower than 99.9%, you will be entitled to compensations in accordance with the following terms:

      3.1 Standards of Compensation

      (1) Compensations will be made in the form of voucher (and not cash) by Tencent Cloud. Such voucher can only be used to purchase the Service by using your Tencent Cloud account. 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 Availability in a Service Month fails to meet the abovementioned standard, the amount of compensation shall be calculated for such Service Month independently, and the aggregate amount shall be no more than the applicable Monthly Service Fee paid by you for such Service Month (the Monthly Service Fee referred to herein shall exclude the portion deducted by a voucher or promotional coupon, due to discounted service fee or otherwise deducted).
      Note:
      the Service Month in this Agreement means every calendar month within the term of the Service purchased by you. For example, if you purchase the Service for a term of two months starting from March 17, the first Service Month will be from March 17 to March 31, the second will be from April 1 to April 30, and the third will be from May 1 to May 16.
      Service Availability in a Service Month
      Value of Compensational Voucher
      Less than 99.9% but is or higher than 95%
      10% of the Monthly Service Fee
      Less than 95% but is or higher than 90%
      25% of the Monthly Service Fee
      Less than 90%
      100% of the Monthly Service Fee

      3.2 Time Limit for Compensation Application

      3.1 If the Service Availability in a Service Month fails to meet the Service Availability standard, you may apply for compensation only through the support ticket system under your relevant account after the fifth (5th) business day of the month immediately following such Service Month. Tencent Cloud will verify and ascertain your application upon receipt of such application. If there is any dispute over the calculation of the Service Availability for a Service Month, both parties agree that the back-end record of Tencent Cloud shall prevail.
      3.2 You shall apply for compensation no later than the sixtieth (60th) calendar day following the end of the applicable Service Month in which the Service Availability fails to meet the abovementioned standard. If you fail to make any application within such period, or make the application after such period, or make the application by any means other than that agreed herein, it shall be deemed that you have voluntarily waived your right to apply for such compensation and any other rights you may have against Tencent Cloud, in which case Tencent Cloud has the right to reject your application for compensation and not to make any compensation to you.

      4. Requirements of Legal Compliance
