SEPira(k) will make the Services available 99.95% of the time, excluding any Excused Downtime. In a given calendar month, we calculate “Service Availability” as follows:

Service Availability =

(total minutes in the month) – (Excused Downtime)

“Excused Downtime” means the length of time the Services are unavailable due to:

“Scheduled Maintenance” includes any maintenance performed during the following windows or for which we provide reasonable notice or coordination with you in advance of the maintenance.

Data Center location: Americas
Maintenance window: 10p - 4a Pacific Time

“Emergency Maintenance” means any maintenance performed outside the Scheduled Maintenance windows without advance notice where such maintenance is reasonably and urgently required to protect the integrity, availability, or security of any online systems.
