BigQuery Service Level Agreement (SLA)

During the Term of the agreement under which Google has agreed to provide Google Cloud Platform to Customer (as applicable, the "Agreement"), the respective Covered Service will provide a Monthly Uptime Percentage to Customer as follows (each, a "Service Level Objective" or "SLO"):

Covered Service

Monthly Uptime Percentage

BigQuery (except BigQuery Standard edition)

>= 99.99%

BigQuery (Standard edition)

>= 99.9%

Covered Service

Covered Service

Data Delivery

BigQuery Data Transfer Service

Less than or equal to 24 hours

Covered Service

Data Delivery

BigQuery Data Transfer Service

Less than or equal to 24 hours

The Data Delivery SLO applies only to automatically scheduled runs. If Google does not meet the SLO, and if Customer meets its obligations under this SLA, Customer will be eligible to receive the Financial Credits described below. Monthly Uptime Percentage and Financial Credit are determined on a calendar month basis per Project. This SLA states Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for any failure by Google to meet the SLO. Capitalized terms used in this SLA, but not defined in this SLA, have the meanings given to them in the Agreement. If the Agreement authorizes the resale or supply of Google Cloud Platform under a Google Cloud partner or reseller program, then all references to Customer in this SLA mean Partner or Reseller (as applicable), and any Financial Credit(s) will only apply for impacted Partner or Reseller order(s) under the Agreement. The BigQuery SLA does not apply to BigQuery Omni.

Definitions

The following definitions apply to the SLA:

  • "Back-off Requirements" means, when an error occurs, the Customer Application is responsible for waiting for a period of time before issuing another request. This means that after the first error, there is a minimum back-off interval of 1 second and for each consecutive error, the back-off interval increases exponentially up to 32 seconds.
  • "Covered Service" means BigQuery (except BigQuery Standard edition), BigQuery Standard edition, or BigQuery Data Transfer Service.
  • "Data Delivery" means the time from when data is received by the BigQuery Data Transfer Service to when data is delivered to Customer's BigQuery Project.
  • "Downtime" means more than a ten percent Error Rate. Downtime is measured based on server side Error Rate.
  • "Downtime Period" means a period of one or more consecutive minutes of Downtime. Partial minutes will not be counted towards any Downtime Periods.
  • "Error Rate" means the number of Valid Requests that result in a response with an HTTP Status in the 500 range divided by the total number of Valid Requests during that period, subject to a minimum of 20 Valid Requests in the measurement period. Repeated identical requests do not count towards the Error Rate unless they conform to the Back-off Requirements.
  • "Financial Credit" means the following for BigQuery (except BigQuery Standard edition):

Monthly Uptime Percentage

Percentage of monthly bill for the respective Covered Service that does not meet SLO that will be credited to future monthly bills of Customer

Customer Must Request Financial Credit

In order to receive any of the Financial Credits described above, Customer must notify Google technical support within 30 days from the time Customer becomes eligible to receive a Financial Credit. If Customer does not comply with these requirements, Customer will forfeit its right to receive a Financial Credit.
