AWS SimSpace Weaver Service Level Agreement
Last Updated: November 29, 2022
This AWS SimSpace Weaver Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) is a policy governing the use of AWS SimSpace Weaver and applies separately to each account using AWS SimSpace Weaver. 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.
Service Commitment
AWS will use commercially reasonable efforts to make AWS SimSpace Weaver available with the Monthly Uptime Percentages set forth in the table below, during any monthly billing cycle (the "Service Commitment"). In the event AWS SimSpace Weaver does not meet the Service Commitment, you will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below.
Service Credits
Service Credits are calculated as a percentage of the total charges paid by you for the affected AWS SimSpace Weaver simulations for the monthly billing cycle in which the Service Commitment was not met, in accordance with the schedule below:
Monthly Uptime Percentage |
Service Credit Percentage |
Less than 99.5% but greater than or equal to 99.0% |
10% |
Less than 99.0% but greater than or equal to 95.0% |
25% |
Less than 95.0% | 100% |
We will apply any Service Credits only against future AWS SimSpace Weaver 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 Unavailability occurred. 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 Agreement, your sole and exclusive remedy for any unavailability, non-performance, or other failure by us to provide AWS SimSpace Weaver is the receipt of a Service Credit (if eligible) in accordance with the terms of this SLA.
Credit Request and Payment Procedures
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:
- the words “SLA Credit Request” in the subject line;
- the dates, times, and AWS region(s) of the affected AWS SimSpace Weaver simulation resource ID(s) for each Unavailability incident that you are claiming; and
- your request logs that document the errors and corroborate your claimed outage (any confidential or sensitive information in these logs should be removed or replaced with asterisks).
If the Monthly Uptime Percentage of such request is confirmed by us and is less than the Service Commitment, then we will issue the Service Credit to you within one billing cycle following the month in which the request occurred. Your failure to provide the request and other information as required above will disqualify you from receiving a Service Credit.
AWS SimSpace Weaver SLA Exclusions
The Service Commitment does not apply to any unavailability, suspension, or termination of AWS SimSpace Weaver, or any other AWS SimSpace Weaver performance issues: (i) 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 SimSpace Weaver; (ii) that result from any actions or inactions by you or any third party; (iii) that result from you not following the guidelines and best practices described in the AWS SimSpace Weaver Documentation on the AWS Site; (iv) that result from your equipment, software or other technology and/or third party equipment, software or other technology (other than third party equipment within our direct control); or (v) arising from our suspension or termination of your right to use AWS SimSpace Weaver in accordance with the Agreement (collectively, the “AWS SimSpace Weaver SLA Exclusions”). If availability is impacted by factors other than those used in our Monthly Uptime Percentage calculation, then we may issue a Service Credit considering such factors at our discretion.
Definitions
- "Monthly Uptime Percentage" is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of 5-minute intervals during the month in which AWS SimSpace Weaver was Unavailable. If you have been running AWS SimSpace Weaver simulations for only part of the month, AWS SimSpace Weaver is assumed to be 100% available for the portion of the month that it was not running. Monthly Uptime Percentage measurements exclude downtime resulting directly or indirectly from any AWS SimSpace Weaver SLA Exclusions.
- A "Service Credit" is a dollar credit, calculated as set forth above, that we may credit back to an eligible account.
- "Unavailable" and “Unavailability” mean that all connection requests to your running AWS SimSpace Weaver simulations fail during a 5-minute interval.
