QA Sphere commits to maintaining a 99.9% system availability per year. This target is measured at the network level of our services, reflecting our commitment to providing a reliable and continuously operational system.
Exclusions from system availability calculations:
It is crucial for users to ensure that their local systems are maintained and operated in a manner that facilitates optimal access and functionality of QA Sphere’s services. For any disruptions that occur outside these specified conditions, QA Sphere will strive to ensure minimal service interruption and provide the necessary support to restore full functionality.
QA Sphere regularly schedules maintenance windows to upgrade and maintain the system to ensure optimal performance and security. Users will be informed about these maintenance activities in advance. For short maintenance activities, notifications will be posted on the QA Sphere status page. If a maintenance window is expected to exceed 30 minutes, users will additionally be notified via email to prepare for any potential service interruption.
It is important to note that maintenance windows are planned for periods of low activity and are necessary for the enhancement of the service. As such, Service Credits do not apply to any service downtime that occurs during these announced maintenance windows.
We encourage users to check the QA Sphere status page regularly for upcoming maintenance announcements and to ensure that their contact information is current to receive timely email notifications.
In the event that QA Sphere fails to meet the 99.9% system availability outside of scheduled maintenance windows, we will offer a Service Credit as compensation. A Service Credit entails one week of free use of the service for each day of delay or unavailability caused by our failure to uphold these commitments.
To clarify, you are entitled to no more than one Service Credit per incident per affected configuration. Furthermore, the aggregate Service Credits awarded in any given month will not exceed one month's free service usage, irrespective of the number of incidents.
To claim a Service Credit, you must contact us within ten (10) business days from the time you become eligible for such a credit. If you do not contact us within this timeframe, your right to receive the Service Credit will be forfeited.
Notwithstanding other provisions in these Terms, the provision of Service Credits shall constitute your sole remedy and our complete liability for any breach of our support service commitments as outlined in this section.
We may suspend (block) your Account and restrict your access to the Services at our sole discretion if we detect a violation of these Terms or any applicable law or threat of such violations.
