Panther Labs reserves the right to modify the scope of the maintenance and support of the Service; provided, however, Panther Labs shall provide Customer written notice.

Panther Labs will not be responsible for any failures or malfunctions resulting from such upgrade, change, or addition of third-party software.

In addition, Customer will make reasonable efforts to fix Issues identified during troubleshooting.
  7. Availability. Panther Labs shall make the Services (defined herein) available 99.9% of the time, except as provided below. “Covered Services” means AWS Lambda, AWS Athena, AWS S3, AWS Glue, AWS SQS, AWS DynamoDB, AWS SNS, AWS Cognito, AWS ECS. Availability for Covered Services will be calculated per calendar month, as follows:

    Where:

    • “total” means the total number of minutes in the calendar month;
    • “non-excluded” means downtime that is not excluded; and
    • “excluded” means:
    1. Any downtime during planned maintenance (not to exceed 10 hours in any calendar month) for which Panther Labs gives 2 business days or more hours’ notice in accordance with the Agreement or via the Panther Labs shared slack channel.
    2. Any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond Panther Labs’ reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems (other than those involving Panther Labs employees), third-party Internet Panther Labs failures or delays (other than those Internet Suppliers under contract with Panther Labs),
    3. Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) or Snowflake outages in Customer’s specific region or that otherwise affect Panther Labs’ ability to provide the Services, or unavailability caused by Customer’s conduct or error.
    4. Dropped logs, provided the Covered Services meet the 99.9% or other applicable availability amounts.

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any availability that is reliant on AWS or Snowflake, availability shall be calculated based on the applicable availability provided by AWS or Snowflake with the same exclusions above.

    For any partial month during which Customer subscribes to the Services, availability will be calculated based on the entire month, not just the portion for which Customer subscribed.

  8. Service Availability Remedies. Should Panther Labs fail to make the Services available as set forth above, Customer may continue to use the Services but receive a refund of 1/30th the monthly fee for each day the service is affected by making a claim in writing to Panther Labs as described below. All claims of unavailability will be verified against Panther Labs’ system records. Should Panther Labs dispute any period of unavailability alleged by Customer, Panther Labs will provide to Customer a record of Services availability for the applicable period.
  9. Reporting, Claims and Notices. Panther Labs will provide Customer SLA reports showing Services availability upon Customer request and at most once per calendar year. To claim a remedy under this SLA, Customer shall send Panther Labs a notice, via email addressed to [email protected] within 15 business days after the end of each calendar quarter. Claims may be made on a calendar-quarter basis only and must be submitted within 20 business days after the end of the applicable quarter, except where a Services subscription ends on a date other than the last day of a calendar quarter, in which case any claim related to that subscription must be submitted within 20 business days after the subscription end date. All claims will be verified against Panther Labs’ system records. Should Panther Labs dispute any period of unavailability alleged by Customer, Panther Labs will provide to Customer a record of Services availability for the applicable period. Panther Labs will provide such records only in response to claims made by Customer in good faith.
