The Availability Service Level will be calculated by subtracting the total minutes of Platform Downtime from the total number of minutes during each month and dividing that result by the number of minutes in that month. If PartnerStack fails to meet a 99.50% Availability Service Level for any two or more consecutive calendar months during the Term, the Client will be entitled to request a credit for 10% of the Monthly Fee for the respective months in which the Availability Service Level was not met.
