3.6 Cloud Availability.
Cribl will provide Cloud Products with at least 99.9% availability during any thirty-day period; Cloud Products that Cribl designates as free or that involve customer-managed components in a hybrid cloud deployment do not have a minimum availability requirement.
Availability calculations for Cloud Products that Cribl designates as Search-based are based on your ability to submit a query to Search-based Cloud Products over all five-minute periods of a thirty-day period. If you are unable to submit a query during a five-minute period, the corresponding Search-based Cloud Product is deemed unavailable for that five-minute period; if no submissions are made during a five-minute period, that Search-based Cloud Product is deemed available for that five-minute period. Availability calculations for all other Cloud Products are based on the availability of the given Cloud Product for processing during a thirty-day period.
Availability calculations do not include scheduled and emergency maintenance, disruption due to your equipment or system failures, your failure to comply with this agreement, or any disruption outside of Cribl’s reasonable control, including without limitation wide-spread Internet outages and acts of God.
If Cribl does not provide Cloud Products with the applicable minimum uptime, Cribl will provide you with Cloud Product Credits equal to 5% of your previous month’s usage from the month in which the disruption occurred if the disruption is between 99% and 99.9% uptime, 10% if between 98% and less than 99%, and 20% if less than 98%.
To request a Cloud Product Credit, you must submit a ticket to support with sufficient information and documentation to show the qualifying downtime. Cribl will review the request and make determinations, within thirty days of receiving your request and in its complete discretion, of whether and the extent to which a qualifying downtime occurred. Cribl will provide appropriate Cloud Product Credits within thirty days of determining a qualifying downtime occurred.
3.7 Compliance.
You and Cribl must follow all applicable laws, rules, regulations, contracts, and other legal requirements, including without limitation all requirements described in the compliance addendum available at https://cribl.io/legal/ca; the compliance addendum is incorporated by reference into this agreement. You and Cribl must comply with all applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, sanctions, and prohibited-country requirements, limitations, and rules.
