3. Uptime Targets

Uptime target: 99.8%

Uptime is evaluated over monthly periods. Any downtime (other than Excused Downtime) over 1h28min during a given month means the uptime target was not reached.

4. Service Credits

If Botpress fails to satisfy the foregoing SLA in any month with respect to the Software Services for reasons other than an “Excused Downtime” as listed below, Customer will be entitled to receive, as its sole and exclusive remedy and Botpress’ sole and entire aggregate liability, a service credit based on the fees for the affected Service equal to the amount outlined below:

Availability Percentage | Service Credit

Above Target | N/A

Between 99.8% and 99.5% | 5%

Between 99.5% and 99.0% | 10%

Between 99.0% and 98.0% | 20%

Less than 98.0% | 25%

For each time during a given month where Botpress fails to meet the target response time, Customer shall be entitled to a service Credit of 5%, up to a maximum of 25%.

Service Credit will be applied to future Usage Fees. To request a service credit, Customer must deliver a written request to Botpress within 30 days of the end of the calendar month in which the SLA event occurs, failing which the Customer forgoes its right to claim the credit. In no event shall Customer’s total credit in a month exceed 50% of the monthly charges for the affected services.

No credit will be deemed to accrue for any failure to satisfy this SLA relating to any of the following “Excused Downtime” events (as reasonably determined by Botpress):

a) Customer-initiated changes affecting the Software Services, whether implemented by Customer or Botpress on behalf of Customer;

b) Unavailability of the OpenAI API or another third-party service;

c) a violation of the Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policies by the Customer;

d) a force majeure event;

e) Malicious Code;

f) any scheduled maintenance announced at least 48 hours in advance, up to an accumulated total of 4 hours per month;

g) any emergency maintenance announced at least 60 minutes in advance, up to an accumulated total of 2 hours per month;
