Definitions

Data backup and the backed up data: Data Backup is the process of replicating data on a secure cloud storage to allow for later restore as needed. Data present in cloud productivity apps like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 are covered for back up to the cloud storage.
Initial backup: The first 100% backup of the data after installation of the SysCloud App.
Monthly availability uptime percentage: The time period (within the calendar month) that the SysCloud App was unavailable, divided by the time (within the calendar month) that the SysCloud App was being monitored gives the downtime percentage. From 100 subtract the downtime percentage, the result obtained is the uptime percentage for that calendar month.
Service credits: The additional time period granted to the customer on account of SysCloud not meeting the committed SLA.

How to claim service credits

Customer must email SysCloud at support@syscloud.com within 30 days of being eligible to receive Service Credits. The email must clearly mention the eligibility criteria to receive Service Credits. Failure to do so within the 30 day time period will result in forfeiture of the Service Credits.

Updates to the SLA

SysCloud reserves the right to modify the terms of this SLA without advance notice. The new SLA will be in effect 30 days from the date of publishing the new SLA. We will send you notice of such change to the email address on our records.
