Service Level Agreement

Last updated: 5th of October, 2023

This service level agreement (SLA) identifies the services required and the expected level of services.


Service Commitment

Measurement

SLA-measurement is combination of two methods:

Client-Side

Service availability is measured by probing important endpoints and customers from our data centers in Germany and the USA, as if it were a client accessing the service. The measurement interval is 30 seconds. The test includes latency and status code of the HTTP response.

Server-Side

We store status code and latency of every request that is reaching our data centers for 7 days for the purpose of detecting service unavailability.

Communication

Downtime is announced on codesphere.statuspage.io.

Reimbursement

Monthly uptime is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of 5-minute intervals during the monthly billing cycle in which the service was unavailable. If the downtime exceeds our agreement (SLA Target), the cost of the plan for that timespan will be refunded in the form of credits for Codesphere. If the bought plan exists for only part of the month, availability is calculated over the portion of the month during which it existed. Monthly uptime measurements exclude unavailability resulting directly or indirectly from any SLA Exclusion.

SLA Exclusions

This SLA does not apply to:

  • Issues caused by situations outside the control of Codesphere, such as large-scale internet outages, datacenter outages and natural disasters
  • 3rd-party software, or vendor-related 1-Clicks
  • Issues related to service or account restrictions, including but not limited to a customer’s use of the services in violation of the agreement
  • Downtime during maintenance windows, user-initiated downtime, or automated upgrades

We will evaluate all information reasonably available to us and make a good faith determination of whether a service credit is owed.
