  1. 对于世纪互联考虑索赔,客户必须在索赔事件发生的月份之后的日历月月底向世纪互联客户支持customer support提交索赔。例如,如果事件发生在2月15日,世纪互联必须在3月31日之前收到索赔和所有必需信息。客户必须向世纪互联的客户支持提供所有必要的信息,以便世纪互联验证索赔,包括但不限于:(1)事件的详细描述,(2)关于停机时间和持续时长的信息,(3)受影响的终端用户的数量和地点(如适用),(4)客户尝试在事件发生时解决事件的说明。

  3. 如果客户购买了多项服务,则客户可以根据上述流程提交索赔,就好像每项服务都有其单独的服务水平协议一样。如因同一事件而未满足特定服务的多个服务级别,则客户必须只能选择一个基于此事件的服务级别进行索赔。除非在具体的服务水平协议中另有规定,否则每项服务仅允许在适用的月度期间内使用一个服务积分。
  4. 服务积分是客户在协议下和本服务水平协议下的任何服务的任何性能问题或可用性问题的唯一且排他的补救措施。对于任何性能或可用性问题,客户不得单方面抵消其适用的每月服务费。
  5. 服务积分仅适用于为未达到服务级别的特定服务、服务资源或服务层支付的费用。如果服务级别适用于单个服务资源或单独的服务层,则服务积分仅适用于为受影响的服务资源或服务层支付的费用(如适用)。
  6. 在任何特定服务或服务资源的任何结算月中,服务积分在任何情况下都不能超过客户在结算月份中适用的该服务或服务资源的适用月服务费。
  7. 如果客户购买服务作为单一要约的一部分,则每项服务适用的月服务费和服务积分将按比例分配。如果客户从经销商那购买了服务,则客户将直接从经销商那获得服务积分,经销商将直接从世纪互联获得服务积分。服务积分将基于预计的可适用服务的零售价格,由世纪互联自行决定。

For 21Vianet to consider a Claim, Customer must submit the Claim to 21Vianet’s customer support by the end of the calendar month following the month in which the Incident that is subject to the Claim occurs. For example, if the Incident occurred on February 15th, 21Vianet must receive the Claim and all required information by March 31st.

Customer must be in compliance with the Agreement to be eligible for a Service Credit. If 21Vianet determines that a Service Credit is owed to Customer, 21Vianet will apply the Service Credit to Customer’s Applicable Monthly Service Fees.

 

  1. If Customer purchased more than one Service, then Customer may submit Claims pursuant to the process described above as if each Service was covered by an individual SLA. In the event that more than one Service Level for a particular Service is not met because of the same Incident, Customer must choose only one Service Level under which to make a Claim based on the Incident. Unless as otherwise provided in a specific SLA, only one Service Credit is permitted per Service for an Applicable Monthly Period.
  2. Service Credits are Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any performance or availability issues for any Service under the Agreement and this SLA. Customer may not unilaterally offset its Applicable Monthly Service Fees for any performance or availability issues.
  3. Service Credits apply only to fees paid for the particular Service, Service Resource, or Service tier for which a Service Level has not been met. In cases where Service Levels apply to individual Service Resources or to separate Service tiers, Service Credits apply only to fees paid for the affected Service Resource or Service tier, as applicable.
  4. The Service Credits awarded in any billing month for a particular Service or Service Resource will not, under any circumstance, exceed Customer’s Applicable Monthly Service Fees for that Service or Service Resource, as applicable, in the billing month.
  5. If Customer purchased Services as part of a single offer, the Applicable Monthly Service Fees and Service Credit for each Service will be pro-rated. In cases where Customer purchased a Service from a reseller, Customer will receive a service credit directly from its reseller and the reseller will receive a Service Credit directly from 21Vianet. The Service Credit will be based on the estimated retail price for the applicable Service, as determined by 21Vianet in its reasonable discretion.

5. SLA Exclusions.

This SLA and any applicable Service Levels do not apply to any performance or availability issues resulting from the following:

  1. due to factors outside 21Vianet’s reasonable control (for example, natural disaster, war, acts of terrorism, riots, government action, or a network or device failure external to 21Vianet’s data centers, including at Customer’s site or between Customer’s site and 21Vianet’s data center);
