Service Availability
The Zentera Air SaaS (the “Services”) will be available for 100% of the total hours during every month you use the Services (the “Service Availability Target”). The Service Availability for a given month is calculated by dividing the total hours the Services are available by the total hours in that month. Service Availability is determined using a combination of external monitors to verify reachability of the Services as well as a review of service logs to validate operation of the Services.
If our Service Availability fails to meet the Service Availability Target for a given month, you are eligible to receive a Service Credit as outlined below.

If you have multiple Zentera Air tenants, the Service Availability is calculated by aggregating the availability across all tenants. For example: you have two tenants; in a given month, Tenant 1 is available for 43,000 hours out of the total 43,200 hours, while Tenant 2 is available for 43,200 hours out of the total 43,200 hours. Your Service Availability for that month is calculated to be (43,000 + 43,200) / (43,200 + 43,200) = 99.769%.
Service Credits
A Service Credit represents the pro-rated daily amount you pay for the Services. Service Credits will be applied to your next Zentera invoice. For example, if your Zentera Air contract amount is $50,000 per year and you experience a service failure resulting in 5 Service Credits, you will be entitled to receive a credit of 5 / 365 * $50,000 = $684.93 on your next invoice.
In no event may a Service Credit be exchanged for cash value or refunded.
During a single calendar month, Zentera will not issue more than 30 Service Credits, regardless of the number of incidents reported.
You agree that Service Credits are your sole and exclusive means of remedy for Zentera’s failure to meet the Service Availability Target.
Reporting Incidents and Requesting Service Credits
To receive Service Credits, you must raise a support request within 10 days of an incident that impacts the Service Availability. Zentera will research the incident, calculate the Service Availability, and notify you of any Service Credits issued within 15 days of the end of the month in which the incident occurred. If you fail to raise a support request within the 10-day window, you forfeit your right to receive Service Credits.
