Scheduled Outages – Scheduled outages are the planned downtime, which is carried out by Zycus, preferably during weekends or during Licensee’s non-working hours, or as scheduled by data center. Scheduled or planned downtime will be informed to Licensee at least one week (5 business days) in advance. Maximum scheduled outage period in a quarter shall be (seventy-two) 72 hours.
Scheduled outages are generally used to upgrade, replace, or maintain Zycus’s infrastructure. Upgrades include new releases, application-based security patches, operating system patches (critical, hot fixes, and service packs), scheduled maintenance, etc.
Scheduled Outages will not be considered as downtime and shall not be included in calculation of monthly availability thereof.
Uncontrollable Outage – Whenever the Software application is unavailable due to causes beyond Zycus’s reasonable control, such as international internet outages, extreme weather conditions, acts of God, war, Licensee’s system issues, each such issues shall be referred as Uncontrollable Outages.
Periods of Uncontrollable Outage will not be included as downtime.
Unscheduled downtime will be included as downtime in monthly availability calculation.
The Monthly Availability calculation of the Software application shall be arrived at as follows:
- Total Time of Monthly Availability = Total Time (24/7) less Scheduled Outage and Uncontrollable Outages
- Percentage Monthly Availability = (Total Time of Monthly Availability less Unscheduled downtime) *100]/ (Total Time of Monthly Availability)
