Please carefully read and fully understand each and every provision hereof, and the provisions restricting or releasing certain liabilities, or otherwise related to your material rights and interests, are in bold font or underlined or otherwise brought to your special attention.
Please do not purchase the Service unless and until you have fully read, and completely understood and accepted all the terms hereof. By clicking “Agree”/ “Next”, or by purchasing or using the Service, or by otherwise accepting this Agreement, whether express or implied, you are deemed to have read, and agreed to be bound by, this Agreement.

1. Terms and Definitions
1.1 ACE PC Game (Windows) Hardening Service/ Anti-Cheat Service
The Service refers to the ACE PC Game (Windows) Hardening Service (such as code encryption, anti-debugging, anti-injection, and prevention of multiple instances) and Anti-Cheat Service (such as anti-speed hack, anti-auto clicker, cheat sample detection) provided to you by Tencent Cloud.
1.2 Service Month(s)
Service Month(s) means the calendar month(s) within the term of the Service purchased by you. For example, if you purchase the Service for a term of three months starting from March 17, there will be four (4) Service Months (the first Service Month from March 17 to March 31, the second from April 1 to April 30, the third from May 1 to May 31, and the fourth from June 1 to June 16). The Service Availability will be calculated separately for each Service Month.
2. Service Availability
2.1 Calculation of the Service Availability
Service Availability = 100% - (Total Downtime within Service Month / Total Service Time in the Month) * 100%
Where:
1）Total Downtime within Service Month refers to the total time within one service month when the service was unavailable for more than 10 minutes at a stretch.
Note：
①Times less than 10 minutes, game maintenance periods, and times when the service is shut down after agreement with the game team, are not included in the downtime.
For example, if Issue A lasts more than 10 minutes, reaching 15 minutes, then 15 minutes are counted as downtime. If Issue B lasts for 6 minutes, it is not counted as downtime.
②If the game has not been integrated with the service as required, it is not counted as service downtime.
2）Total Service Time in the Month refers to the total time the service is provided within a month.
3）If the ACE PC Game (Windows) Hardening Service/Anti-Cheat Service faces issues lasting more than 10 minutes, affecting the actual online protection effectiveness of the game, such periods are counted as service downtime. Issues include:
①The overall failure of the online client’s security service/anti-cheat service. However, if individual cheat functions are upgraded and cause the protection function not to be fully effective, it is considered a normal operational phenomenon and not included in the service downtime.
②The anti-cheat service's cheater list is not pushed as scheduled, meaning the cheater list was detected but not pushed normally. However, if the game's security status is decent and there are no cheats detected, hence no list is pushed, it is considered a normal phenomenon and not included in the service downtime.
For example, if the client hardening solution provided service throughout January and the total downtime was 30 minutes, then:
For January, Total Service Time = 312460 minutes = 44,640 minutes
Service Availability = 100% - [30 / (312460)] * 100% = 99.933%
3. Compensation Plan
In respect of the Service, if the Service Availability is lower than 99%, you will be entitled to compensations in accordance with the following terms:

(2) If the Service Availability in a Service Month fails to meet the following standard, the amount of compensation shall be calculated for such Service Month independently, and the aggregate amount shall be no more than the applicable Monthly Service Fee paid by you for such Service Month (the Monthly Service Fee referred to herein shall exclude the portion deducted by a voucher or promotional coupon, due to discounted service fee or otherwise deducted).
Monthly Service Availability | Compensation Voucher Amount |
Below 99% but equal to or above 95% | 5% of the monthly service fee |
