Unavailability is measured from the time a trouble ticket is created for the Customer to the time we confirm that the affected Service is available to transmit and receive data.
3. If AutomatedQA fails to meet the availability goal and the Customer provides AutomatedQA with a written request within five (5) business days of the last day of the month in which such failure occurred, we will provide a service credit to the Customer's account equal to one-thirtieth (1/30th) of the Customer's Monthly Service Charges for the affected Service for each cumulative sixty (60) minute period of unavailability or failure during the applicable month, up to a maximum of the total Monthly Service Charges charged by AutomatedQA to Customer during the applicable month for the affected Service.
4. Service credits will not be available to Customer in cases where (a) the Services are unavailable as a result of the acts or omissions of Customer or its employees, contractors, agents or end-users; (b) the failure or malfunction of equipment, network, applications or systems not owned or directly controlled by AutomatedQA; (c) circumstances or causes beyond the control of AutomatedQA, included, without limitation, events of force majeure and third-party attacks on the AutomatedQA network (such as ping and denial of service attacks); (d) scheduled maintenance with prior notice posted in the on-line bulletin; or (e) urgent maintenance with notice provided as soon as is commercially practicable under the circumstances.
