Parallelstore Service Level Agreement (SLA)

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 Parallelstore Instance. 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.

The following definitions apply to the SLA:

• "Covered Service" means Parallelstore instance.
• "Downtime" means all valid I/O requests to the applicable Covered Service fail.
• "Downtime Period" means a period of five or more consecutive minutes of Downtime. Partial minutes or intermittent Downtime for a period of less than five minutes will not count towards any Downtime Periods. Downtime as part of Scheduled Maintenance will not count towards any Downtime Period. Downtime when the instance is in FAILED [*] state will not count towards any Downtime Period.
• [*] This is a placeholder name for the data loss state. We have not finalized the api name.

"Financial Credit" means the following:

• "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.
• "Region" means the applicable region identified at https://cloud.google.com/about/locations.
• "Scheduled Maintenance" is Downtime related to network, hardware, or software maintenance or upgrades. Scheduled Maintenance will be performed at Google’s discretion.
• "Valid I/O Requests" are I/O requests that conform to the Documentation, and that would normally result in a non-error response.

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. Customer must also provide Google with log files showing Downtime Periods and the date and time they occurred. If Customer does not comply with these requirements, Customer will forfeit its right to receive a Financial Credit.

The maximum aggregate number of Financial Credits issued by Google to Customer for all Downtime Periods in a single billing month will not exceed 50% of the amount due from Customer for the Covered Service in the Region that did not meet SLO for the applicable month. Financial Credits will be 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.

The SLA does not apply to any (a) features or services designated pre-general availability (unless otherwise set forth in the associated Documentation); (b) features or services excluded from the SLA (in the associated Documentation); or (c) errors (i) caused by factors outside of Google's reasonable control; (ii) that resulted from Customer's software or hardware or third party software or hardware, or both; (iii) that resulted from abuses or other behaviors that violate the Agreement; or (iv) that resulted from quotas applied by the system or listed in the Documentation or Admin Console.
