Definitions
As used herein, "month" refers to a calendar month.
"Applicable Monthly Service Fees" means the total fees paid by you for a given eva subscription during the month in which Downtime occurred.
"Downtime": A minute is considered unavailable if all of your continuous attempts to establish a connection to the eva customer environment within the minute fail. Downtime does not include scheduled downtime for maintenance and upgrades.
"Downtime Period" means a period of one or more consecutive minutes of Downtime. Partial minutes or intermittent Downtime for a period of less than one minute will not count towards any Downtime Periods.
"Monthly Uptime Percentage", is the total number of minutes in a month, minus the number of minutes of Downtime suffered from all Downtime Periods in a month, divided by the total number of minutes in a month.
"Service Credit" is the percentage of the Applicable Monthly Service Fees to be credited to you if NTT Data eva approves your claim, as outlined in the table above.
"eva customer environment", is a single eva logical environment provided to a customer.
