6. Definitions
Monthly Uptime Percentage: is calculated by subtracting from 100% the average of Error Rates measured over each five-minute period during the billing month.
Error Rate: is calculated as follows: (i) the total number of internal server errors returned by the Cubbit DS3 Service with the error status "Internal Error" or "Service Unavailable" divided by (ii) the total number of requests for the applicable request type during that five-minute interval. The Error Rate will be calculated as a percentage for each 5-minute interval in the monthly billing cycle for each Cubbit DS3 Service account. The calculation of the number of internal server errors will not include errors that arise directly or indirectly as a result of any exclusion provided for in this SLA.
