ZADARA SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
Service Description: zCOMPUTE
This Zadara Compute Service Level Agreement (“SLA“) governs Customer’s use of Zadara’s compute services (“zCompute“) during the term of the Subscription Period defined in the Zadara Terms of Service governing the use of the zCompute (“Agreement“). Download a copy of this SLA document.
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning specified in the Agreement. Zadara Inc reserves the right to change the terms of this SLA in accordance with the Agreement.
- Service Commitment
Zadara will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the zCompute available with a monthly uptime percentage of at least 99.5%, in each case during any monthly billing cycle (the “Service Commitment“).
- Unavailability
Unavailability period is a period of one or more consecutive minutes of loss of external connectivity to a Virtual Machine, measured separately for each Virtual Machine instance associated with the customer’s account (“Unavailability” and “VM” respectively). Partial minutes or intermittent Unavailability for a period of less than one minute will not be counted towards any Unavailability period. The Unavailability period will commence when the Customer is unable to access the VM and will end when access becomes available, provided that such Unavailability is not due to any of the SLA exclusions outlined below.
- Service Credit Calculation
A Service Credit is an amount measured in US dollars or other applicable currency that Zadara will apply against a Customer’s future payments to Zadara, calculated based on the recurring or metered subscription amount of the affected VM (net of any discounts) for the billing month in which the Unavailability event occurred (“Service Credit“). Service Credits are not transferable, do not convert to cash refunds or refunds in any other form, and expire after one month of having been issued.
Service Credits are the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Customer for any Unavailability occurring during the Agreement term or for any other claim in connection with this SLA.
In the event that the Services do not meet the Service Commitment, the Customer will be eligible to receive a Service Credit according to the following schedule:
Monthly Cumulative Unavailability
(listed in minutes) |
Service Credits
(% of the monthly fee of the affected VM) |
210 – 420 | 10% |
421 – 840 | 30% |
841 – 1,440 | 60% |
1,441 (or above) | 100% |
- Requesting Service Credits
To be eligible for Service Credits, an affected Customer must request the credit via the Customer Support page located at support.zadara.com within fifteen (15) days of the Unavailability. This request must include the dates, times, and duration of the Unavailability. Once Zadara confirms the Unavailability and approves the claim, the corresponding Service Credits will be applied automatically to the invoice issued in the month following the applicable Unavailability. Failure to request Service Credits or provide the required documentation supporting the requests will make the Customer ineligible for Service Credits.
The Customer must be current on all outstanding invoices in order to be eligible for the Service Credits referenced in this SLA. No Service Credits will be extended if the Customer is delinquent in its payment of outstanding invoices.
Zadara’s monitoring tools and records will be the sole source of information used to track and validate Unavailability.
- SLA Exclusions
This SLA only applies to unplanned Unavailability of the Services in standard operating conditions. Exclusions include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Unavailability of the Services during scheduled maintenance windows, emergency maintenance or any other agreed-to scheduled Unavailability activity.
- Unavailability caused by failures of third party systems or services that are outside of Zadara’s control.
- Unavailability that resulted from modifications or changes of the operating system, database, application code or other Customer code, not provided by Zadara.
- Any availability or outage impact related to customer-side security breaches or compromised service credentials.

- Unavailability.
Unavailability period is a period of one or more consecutive minutes of loss of external connectivity to Customer Data, measured separately for each Virtual Private Storage Array associated with Customer’s account (“Unavailability” and “VPSA” respectively).

Service Credits are the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Customer for any Unavailability occurring during the Agreement term or for any other claim in connection with this SLA. In the event that the Services do not meet the Service Commitment, the Customer will be eligible to receive a Service Credit according to the following schedule:
