3. Service Compensation

3.1 Scope

If a user is not able to use Tencent Cloud database in a regular way or is completely unable to access the database due to any malfunction attributable to Tencent Cloud, the user has the right to require Tencent Cloud to compensate for such incident/malfunction. The application for such compensation must be submitted within three (3) months following the month for which the availability of the underlying Tencent Cloud database instance fails to meet the relevant standard, and any application submitted thereafter will not be accepted by Tencent Cloud.

3.2 Standards for Compensation

Duration of malfunction = the time when the malfunction is fixed-- the time when the malfunction starts. The duration of malfunction will be calculated in minutes. Where the duration of malfunction, or an unrounded portion thereof, is less than 1 minute, it will be rounded up to 1 minute. For example, if the duration of malfunction is 1 minute and 1 second, it will be calculated as 2 minutes.

One hundred times compensation for Tencent Cloud database malfunction:

(1) Pre-pay: the compensation will be made by extending the use period of the failed database, extended time = duration of malfunction × 100.

(2) Post-pay: the compensation will be made in the form of voucher, the amount of voucher = daily fee of the failed database / 24 / 60 × duration of malfunction × 100.
