SERVICE AVAILABILITY
Service Availability.

For the purposes of these Availability Terms, Service Availability will be measured each calendar month in accordance with the following formula, where Available Minutes of Operation are the total number of minutes during the Term for each calendar month:
(Available Minutes of Operations - Unscheduled Downtime - Emergency Maintenance - Scheduled Downtime - Force Majeure Events) | * 100 |
(Available Minutes of Operations - Emergency Maintenance - Scheduled Downtime - Force Majeure Events) |
Limited Scope of Service Availability. AAI’s Service Availability commitment shall be applicable only to (i) Cloud-Deployed Control Rooms (and not Cloud-Enabled Control Rooms) and (ii) production-environment Control Rooms (and not to Community Edition (CE), beta or early access programs, Free Trials, or test, sandbox, staging, or nonproduction developmentenvironments).
SCHEDULED DOWNTIME
"Scheduled Downtime” means time that the Control Room is unavailable due to the performance of planned system maintenance that has been scheduled in advance by AAI. AAI will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a minimum of forty-eight (48) hours advance notice for all Scheduled Downtime. Scheduled maintenance windows will be announced in advance on https://status.automationanywhere.digital. AAI will use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize any disruption, inaccessibility and/or inoperability of the Control Room in connection with the Scheduled Downtime.
Measurement.The duration of Scheduled Downtime is measured in minutes and equals the amount of elapsed time beginning when the Control Room is not available and ending when the Control Room is available. Any single event that exceeds the scheduled maintenance duration will result in an outage and the amount of time that the outage exceeded the scheduled time will be counted toward the Service Availability level in the month in which the event occurred.
EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE.
"Emergency Maintenance" means any time outside of Scheduled Downtime Window that AAI is required to apply urgent patches or fixes or undertake other urgent maintenance activities to address an exigent situation with the AAI Services. If Emergency Maintenance is required, AAI will provide advance notice of emergency maintenance on https://status.automationanywhere.digital to the extent practicable.
UNSCHEDULED DOWNTIME
"Unscheduled Downtime” means the time outside of the Scheduled Downtime when the Control Room is not available, excluding any outages or unavailability due to (i) the Internet; (ii) inaction, action, error, abuse, or misapplication by Customer or Partner’s end-user customer; (iii) failure of Customer’s or Partner’s end-user customer’s equipment or software or a third party’s equipment or software not under AAI’s direct control; (iv) AAI’s suspension or termination of rights in accordance with the CAA; (v) Continued use of the Services after AAI advised Customer or Partner’s end-user customer to modify its use of the Services; or (vi) events of Force Majeure as described in Section 6.3 below.
Measurement. The measurement is monthly in minutes.
Force Majeure. For purposes of this SLA, an event of "Force Majeure” refers to any event or condition that directly or indirectly prevents a party hereto from performing an obligation hereunder, is beyond the reasonable control of the party, and could not, by the exercise of due diligence, have been avoided in whole or in part by the party, including, without limitation: any act of God, natural disaster, pandemics, epidemics, war, riot, blockade, insurrection, terrorism, sabotage, denial of service attacks (including, but not limited to, state or nation-sponsored denial of service attacks), virus or hacking attacks for which there is no commercially reasonable, known solution (including, but not limited to, intentional/targeted hacking by or on behalf of nation states), acts of public enemies, civil disturbances or general restraint or arrest of government and people, boycott, strike (including a general strike), lockout or other similar industrial disturbance.
