Memorystore Service Level Agreement
Last modified: March 26, 2020
During the Term of the agreement under which Google has agreed to provide Google Cloud Platform to Customer (as applicable, the "Agreement"), the Covered Service will provide a Monthly Uptime Percentage to Customer of at least 99.9% (the "Service Level Objective" or "SLO"). 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. 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 meaning set forth 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.
Definitions
The following definitions apply to the SLA.
- "Covered Service" means Memorystore for Redis and Memorystore for Memcached.
- "Downtime" means i) with respect to Memorystore for Redis: all requests to a standard tier instance fail ii) with respect to Memorystore for Memcached: all requests fail on all the nodes in an instance, when nodes are distributed across two or more zones.
- "Downtime Period" means with respect to the Covered Service: one consecutive minute of Downtime. Intermittent Downtime for a period of less than one minute will not be counted towards any Downtime Periods. Downtime as part of Scheduled Maintenance will not be counted towards any Downtime Period.
- "Financial Credit" means the following for the Covered Service (except as otherwise set forth below):
| Monthly Uptime Percentage | Percentage of monthly bill which does not meet SLO that will be credited to future monthly bills of Customer |
|---|---|
| 99.0%–< 99.9% | 10% |
| 95%–< 99.0% | 25% |
| <95% | 50% |
- "Monthly Uptime Percentage" means 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.
- "Scheduled Maintenance" is Downtime Period related to network, hardware, or software maintenance or upgrades. Scheduled maintenance will be performed at Google’s discretion.
Customer Must Request Financial Credit
In order to receive any of the Financial Credits described above, Customer must notify Google technical support within thirty days from the time Customer becomes eligible to receive a Financial Credit. Failure to comply with this requirement will forfeit Customer’s right to receive a Financial Credit.
Maximum Financial Credit
The aggregate maximum number of Financial Credits to be issued by Google to Customer for any and all Downtime Periods that occur in a single billing month will not exceed 50% of the amount due by Customer for the applicable Covered Service for the applicable month. Financial Credits will be made in the form of a monetary credit applied to future use of the Covered Service and will be applied within 60 days after the Financial Credit was requested.
