| Subscription Tier | Monthly Availability Target |
|---|---|
| Starter | 99.0% |
| Growth | 99.5% |
| Professional | 99.9% |
Availability is calculated on a calendar-month basis as: (total minutes in the month minus downtime minutes) ÷ total minutes in the month × 100. The Subscriber's applicable tier is as specified in the signed Service Order Form.

The Provider will carry out planned maintenance:
