4. Service Availability (Uptime)
TimeTec's Service Availability commitment for a given calendar year is 99%. Service Availability is calculated per year as follows:
Total- Unplanned Outage - Planned Maintenance X 100% ≤ 99%
Total - Planned Maintenance
Definitions:
Total is the total minutes in the month.
Unplanned Outage is the total minutes that the Service in not available in the month outside of the Planned Maintenance window.
Planned Maintenance is the total minutes of planned maintenance in the month.
Currently, Planned Maintenance is four (4) hours for weekly maintenance, plus four (4) hours for monthly maintenance, plus four (4) hours for quarterly maintenance. TimeTec's current weekly maintenance begins at 2:00 am (UTC +8) on Saturday; monthly maintenance begins at 6:00 am (UTC +8) on Saturday; and quarterly maintenance begins at 10:00 am (UTC +8) on Saturday. All times are subject to change upon fourteen (14) days' notice provided in TimeTec emails, and any such change shall not lengthen the duration of the associated maintenance window.

If the actual maintenance exceeds the time allotted for Planned Maintenance, it is considered an Unplanned Outage. Conversely, if actual maintenance is less than the time allotted for Planned Maintenance, that time is not applied as a credit to offset any Unplanned Outage time for the year.
5. TimeTec Feature Release and Service Update Process
Periodically, TimeTec introduces new features in the Service with enhanced functionality across TimeTec applications. Features and functionality will be made available as part of a major feature release ("Feature Release") or as part of weekly service updates ("Service Updates"). Feature Releases will take place approximately six times per year. The frequency of Feature Release availability may be increased or decreased by TimeTec at TimeTec's discretion.
6. Case Submittal and Reporting
Customer's Contacts may submit cases to TimeTec Support via methods stipulated in Section 9. Each case will be assigned a unique case number. TimeTec will respond to each case per this SLA and will work diligently toward resolving the issue, taking into consideration its severity and impact on the Customer's business operations. Actual resolution time will depend on the nature of the case and the resolution itself. A resolution may consist of a fix, workaround, delivery of information or other reasonable solution to the issue.
7. Service Management
Effective support of in-scope services is a result of maintaining consistent service levels. The following sections provide relevant details on service availability, monitoring of in-scope services and related components.
Tier 1 Support (Including Customer Care and Operations Requests):
