AWS Firewall Manager Service Level Agreement

This AWS Firewall Manager Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) is a policy governing the use of AWS Firewall Manager and applies separately to each account using AWS Firewall Manager. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this SLA and the terms of the AWS Customer Agreement or other agreement with us governing your use of our Services (the “Agreement”), the terms and conditions of this SLA apply, but only to the extent of such conflict. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

AWS will use commercially reasonable efforts to make AWS Firewall Manager available with the applicable Monthly Uptime Percentage during any monthly billing cycle (the “Service Commitment”). In the event AWS Firewall Manager does not meet the Service Commitment, you will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below.

Service Credits are calculated as a percentage of the total charges paid by you for AWS Firewall Manager for the billing cycle in which the Service Commitment was not met, in accordance with the schedule below.

For all requests not otherwise specified below:

We will apply any Service Credits only against future AWS Firewall Manager payments otherwise due from you. At our discretion, we may issue the Service Credit to the credit card you used to pay for the billing cycle in which the Service Commitment was not met. Service Credits will not entitle you to any refund or other payment from AWS. A Service Credit will be applicable and issued only if the credit amount for the applicable monthly billing cycle is greater than one dollar ($1 USD). Service Credits may not be transferred or applied to any other account. Unless otherwise provided in the AWS Agreement, your sole and exclusive remedy for any unavailability, non-performance, or other failure by us to provide AWS Firewall Manager is the receipt of a Service Credit (if eligible) in accordance with the terms of this SLA.

To receive a Service Credit, you must submit a claim by opening a case in the AWS Support Center. To be eligible, the credit request must be received by us by the end of the second billing cycle after which the incident occurred and must include:

(i)  the words “SLA Credit Request” in the subject line;

(ii) the AWS Account ID for which the credit request is made, the AWS Firewall Manager API endpoint that failed to meet the Service Commitment, dates and times of each incident of non-zero Error Rates that you are claiming; and

(iii) your request logs that contain the request IDs and document the Errors to corroborate your claimed outage (any confidential or sensitive information in these logs should be removed or replaced with asterisks).

If the Monthly Uptime Percentage applicable to the month of such request is confirmed by us and is less than the applicable Service Commitment, then we will issue the Service Credit to you within one billing cycle following the month in which your request is confirmed by us. Your failure to provide the request and other information as required above will disqualify you from receiving a Service Credit.

The Service Commitment does not apply to any unavailability, suspension or termination of AWS Firewall Manager, or any other AWS Firewall Manager performance issues: (i) that are caused by factors outside of our reasonable control, including any force majeure event or Internet access or related problems beyond the demarcation point of AWS Firewall Manager service; (ii) that are not related to or impacting the AWS Firewall Manager API actions documented in the AWS site; (iii) that result from you not following the best practices described in the AWS Firewall Manager User Guide on the AWS Site; (iv) that result from any actions or inactions of you; (v) that result from your equipment, software or other technology; or (vi) arising from our suspension or termination of your right to use AWS Firewall Manager in accordance with the AWS Agreement (collectively, the “AWS Firewall Manager SLA Exclusions”).

If availability is impacted by factors other than those used in our calculation of the Error Rate, then we may issue a Service Credit considering such factors at our discretion.

Definitions

• An “Error” is any AWS Firewall Manager API request that returns a 500 or 503 error code.
• “Error Rate” means the total number of internal Errors returned by AWS Firewall Manager APIs divided by the total number of requests for the applicable request type during that five-minute interval in a given AWS region. We will calculate the Error Rate for each AWS Firewall Manager administrator account as a percentage for each five-minute interval in the monthly billing cycle. The calculation of the number of Errors will not include errors that arise directly or indirectly as a result of any of the AWS Firewall Manager SLA Exclusions.
• “Monthly Uptime Percentage” is calculated by subtracting from 100% the average of the Error Rates from each five-minute interval in the monthly billing cycle.
• “Service Credit” is a dollar credit, calculated as set forth above, that we may credit back to an eligible AWS Firewall Manager account.
