1.Terms and Definitions
1.1 Tencent Cloud SteamLink Service
"Tencent cloud SteamLink" relies on the computing resources of the many available areas deployed by Tencent Cloud worldwide, combined with the audio and video technology deeply cultivated by Tencent self-research application for many years, which can provide users with stable and safe real-time transmission capabilities. At the same time, it can monitor the quality of the video stream in the transmission process, so that the video provider can transmit the video stream media quickly and steadily.
1.2 Service Unavailability
If, for a given minute, all of your attempts to communicate through the specified transmission channel within the StreamLink internal transmission channel fail due to Tencent Cloud (i.e., the transmission channel has 100% packet loss rate during the minute, subject to the data monitored by Tencent Cloud), the service of the specified transmission channel in that minute will be deemed as "Service Unavailability".
1.3 Service Unavailability Time
The "Service Unavailable Time" is the sum of the Service Unavailable minutes of the StreamLink service in the Service Month.
1.4 Service Month
"Service Month" refers to each natural month included in the service term of the Services you purchase. For example, if you purchase the Services for three months, and the date of service opening is March 17, then four Service Months are included, of which the first Service Month refers to March 17 to March 31, the second Service Month refers to April 1 to April 30, the third Service Month refers to May 1 to May 31, and the fourth Service Month refers to June 1 to June 16. Service availability will be accounted separately for each Service Month.
1.5 Monthly Service Fee
"Monthly Service Fee" refers to the total amount of service fee paid by you in a Service Month.
1.6 Large-Scale Business Surge
When you have a large-scale business surge, please inform Tencent Cloud in writing at least 3 working days in advance (you can inform the corresponding business personnel of Tencent Cloud by email), otherwise the availability may be affected. Tencent Cloud does not provide business availability commitments for large-scale business surges that you do not notify in writing in advance as agreed, and Tencent Cloud will not be liable for any impact on service availability.
Surge indicator: Your average number of streams in the past month is more than or equal to 10, and on the day of the surge, the number of streams is more than or equal to twice the average number of streams in the past month.
2. Service Availability / Service Successful Rate
2.1 Calculation of Service Availability
"Service Availability" = (Total access channel service time - service unavailable time) / total access channel service time.
2.2 Service Availability/ Service Success Rate Grade Indicator
The Service Availability of the Services provided by Tencent Cloud shall not be less than 99.7% (the "Service Availability Standard"). If the Service Availability Standard is not met (excluding cases covered by disclaimers), you shall be entitled to compensation in accordance with Article 3 of this Agreement.
3.Compensation Plan
For the Services, if the Service Availability is lower than the Service Availability Standard, you shall be entitled to compensation as per the following terms:
3.1 Compensation Standard
Compensation will be provided in the form of vouchers issued by Tencent Cloud, and you must comply with vouchers usage rules (including usage period, etc., subject to the voucher-related rules published on the website of Tencent Cloud). The vouchers issued cannot be exchanged for cash, or be accompanied by invoices. Such vouchers can only be used to purchase the Services through your corresponding Tencent Cloud account, and cannot be used to purchase other services provided by Tencent Cloud. The vouchers cannot be transferred or gifted, etc.
If the Service Availability Standard in this Agreement is not met in a Service Month, the compensation will be calculated separately according to the corresponding Service Month, and the total amount of compensation shall not exceed the corresponding Monthly Service Fee paid by you for the Services for the respective month (excluding fees offset by vouchers, coupons, service fee deductions, etc.).
Service Availability | Compensation Voucher Amount |
Less than 99.70% but equal to or higher than 99% | 10% of Monthly Service Fee |
Less than 99% but equal to or higher than 95% | 25% of Monthly Service Fee |
Less than 95% | 100% of Monthly Service Fee |
3.2 Time Limit for Claims
If the Service Availability Standard is not met in a Service Month, you may claim for compensation only through the work order system of your corresponding account after the fifth (5th) business day of the month following the end of the corresponding Service Month in which the Service Availability Standard is not met. Tencent Cloud will conduct verification after you have filed the claim for compensation. In case of a dispute between the parties regarding the calculation of the Service Availability in the Service Month, both parties agree that Tencent Cloud’s backend records shall ultimately prevail.
The latest deadline for you to file a claim for compensation shall not exceed sixty (60) calendar days after the end of the corresponding Service Month that the Service Availability Standard is not met. If you fail to file a claim for compensation within the aforesaid period, or file a claim after the aforesaid period, or file a claim in a manner other than that agreed in this Agreement, it shall be deemed that you have automatically waived your right to demand compensation and any other claims against Tencent Cloud, and Tencent Cloud reserves the right to decline your claim for compensation and shall not be liable for any compensation or indemnification to you.
