Elastic IP (EIP) Service Level Agreement
Huawei Cloud Service Level Agreement General Terms

This Service Level Agreement (this “SLA”) is an integral part of your Huawei Cloud Customer Agreement (the “Customer Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this SLA are as defined in the Customer Agreement unless otherwise stated in this SLA. Should there be any difference between this SLA and the Customer Agreement, this SLA shall prevail.

Huawei Cloud may modify the terms of this SLA from time to time, and this SLA is still effective for the period you already purchased; however, if you extend your period, the modified SLA will apply. If you disagree with the modified SLA, you may cease using the Services.

General Terms

1. Definitions

“Service Cycle” means a natural month.

“Total Time of Service Cycle” means the total minutes during every Service Cycle.

“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 Unavailable Duration cannot be calculated more than once. Every Service Unavailable Duration cannot be calculated again after the compensation being applied for.

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

“Monthly Service Fee” means service fees paid by customers for the Services in a Service Cycle. For example, if the customer pays the service fee of several months at a time, the Monthly Service Fee is calculated as the total service fees paid divided by the total number of month.

2. Service Credit

Service Credit: In the event Huawei Cloud does not meet the commitment on the Service Availability Rate specified in this SLA, you will be eligible to receive service credit as described below, which is the sole and exclusive remedy for any performance or availability issues for any Services under the Customer Agreement and this SLA.

Time limit for application: you can apply for service credit in each Service Cycle after the bill are settled. The application must be filed within two (2) months after the end of the Service Cycle in which the incident that’s the subject of the claim occurred. Applications beyond the time limit will not be accepted. Huawei Cloud will make a reasonable assessment of all information provided to us and make a good faith decision on whether the service credit is owned.

Application method: you can make a claim at Huawei Cloud user center, which is available at https://console-intl.huaweicloud.com/ticket/?region=ap-southeast-1&locale=en-us#/ticketindex/createIndex)

3. Disclaimers

a. caused by force majeure;

b. that arise during the period when your Services are suspended or terminated according to the Customer Agreement;

Elastic IP (EIP) Service Specific Terms

1. Definition

Service Unavailability means the Elastic IP (EIP) system log showing that all data packets in the outbound direction are discarded at the Huawei Cloud egress gateway for one (1) or more consecutive minutes due to the fault of Huawei Cloud.

Monthly Expenditure is your total expenditures for a single EIP within a Service Cycle (a calendar month). If you pay for several Service Cycles at a time, the Monthly Expenditure is calculated by dividing the total amount billed by the number of months the EIP was used.

2. Disclaimers

Service Unavailability does not include unavailability resulting from any of the following:

1) Planned system maintenance that Huawei Cloud has notified you of in advance, such as cutovers, maintenance, upgrades, or fault simulations;

2) Non-Huawei Cloud network failures, device faults, or configuration changes, including but not limited to service unavailability caused by network carrier line faults;

3) Application attacks including but not limited to DDoS attacks, SYN flood attacks, and virus attacks, or software and hardware compatibility issues;

4) Your services exceeding the supported resource specifications;

5) Faulty backend servers;

6) Loss or disclosure of data, including passwords, due to your improper maintenance;

7) Operations authorized by you or any mis-judgment in operations;

8) Your failure to follow to the product usage documentation or recommendations provided by Huawei Cloud;

9) Force majeure or other accidents that are unforeseeable, insurmountable, and unavoidable and have significant impact on one party or both parties, including but not limited to natural disasters (such as floods, earthquakes, and plague epidemics) and social events (such as wars, unrest, government actions, interruption of telecom backbone lines, hackers, network congestion, technical change of telecommunications departments, and government policies).

3. Service Availability

Service Availability Rate in each Service Cycle is represented by the following formula:

Service Availability Rate in each Service Cycle = (Total Time of Service Duration - Service Unavailable Duration)/Total Time of Service Duration x 100%.

Service Availability Rate commitment:

Huawei Cloud will use commercially and technically reasonable efforts to ensure the Service Availability Rate of dynamic BGP EIPs, static BGP EIPs, and EIPs of China Telecom, China Unicom, or China Mobile per Service Cycle are, respectively, no less than 99.95%, 99%, and 99%.
