General Terms
1. Definitions
“Service Cycle” means a natural month.

“Service Unavailable” will be defined for each Service in the Service Specific Terms thereafter. Service Unavailable does not include the situation that Cloud Service is unavailable due to the disclaimers described below and disclaimers in the following service specific terms.
“Service Unavailable Duration” means all the time when the Service is unavailable during a Service Cycle. If the duration is less than one month, it is still regarded as one month.

“Service Availability” means during a Service Cycle, the service available percentage per Service Cycle achieved by the Cloud Service given in this SLA.
