1. Terms and Definitions
1.1 Tencent Cloud Elastic Cache Service

1.2 Service Month

Service availability will be accounted separately for each Service Month.
1.3 Service Unavailability
If all your attempts to establish a connection with the purchased elastic cache instance fail within a minute, the Services of the elastic cache instance is deemed “Service Unavailability” within that minute.
1.4 Unavailability Minutes for a Single Instance
Unavailability Minutes for a Single Instance = instance unavailability resolution moment - instance unavailability start moment. Unavailable time are calculated in minutes. Unavailability Minutes exceeding 1 minute but less than 1 minute are calculated as 1 minute. For example, if the Unavailability Minutes are 1 minute and 1 second, they are calculated as 2 minutes. If the time to restore the business failure is less than 1 minute (that is, the instance unavailability does not last more than 1 minute), it is not counted in the Unavailability Minutes.
1.5 Unavailability Minutes within a Service Month
“Unavailability Minutes within a Service Month” refers to the sum of the Unavailability Minutes in the Service Month.
1.6 Total Minutes within the Service Month

1.7 Monthly Service Fee
“Monthly Service Fee” refers to the total amount of service fee consumed by you for a single instance in a Service Month, excluding the portion that has been purchased but not yet consumed. The Monthly Service Fee does not include fees deducted by vouchers, coupons, service fee reductions.
2. Service Availability
2.1 Service Availability Calculation Method
“Service Availability” is calculated based on a single instance as follows: Service Availability = (1 - Unavailability Minutes for a Single Instance within a Service Month / Total Minutes for a single instance within the Service Month) * 100%
2.2 Service Availability Standard
Tencent Cloud provides the following Service Availability Standard (the “Service Availability Standard”): Service Availability of a single availability zone deployment in the same region shall not be less than 99.95%; Service Availability of multiple availability zones in the same region, and when the number of replicas (excluding the primary node) is greater than or equal to 2, shall not be less than 99.99%; for cache services deployed to multiple availability zones in multiple regions of Tencent Cloud through global replication, and the number of replicas of a single global replication instance (excluding the primary node) is greater than or equal to 2, and the primary instance role is enabled for all cache instances in the replication group, the Service Availability shall not be less than 99.999% (in this case, the time of service unavailability will be calculated according to the actual unavailability time, even if the duration of such unavailability is less than 1 minute). 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.
