Cloud Dedicated and
Partner Interconnect Service Level Agreement (SLA)
During the Term of the agreement under which Google has agreed
to provide Google Cloud Platform to Customer (as applicable, the
"Agreement"), the Covered Service will provide a Monthly Uptime
Percentage as follows (the "Service Level Objective" or "SLO"):
If Google does not meet the SLO, and if Customer meets its
obligations under this SLA, Customer will be eligible to receive
the Financial Credits described below. This SLA states
Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for any failure by Google
to meet the SLO. Capitalized terms used in this SLA, but not
defined in this SLA, have the meaning given to them in the
Agreement. If the Agreement authorizes the resale or supply of
Google Cloud Platform under a Google Cloud partner or reseller
program, then all references to Customer in this SLA mean
Partner or Reseller (as applicable), and any Financial Credit(s)
will only apply for impacted Partner or Reseller order(s) under
the Agreement.
