Service Level Agreement (SLA)

As of 2 October 2026

1. Scope

This SLA applies to production instances on the Starter, Standard, Pro and Enterprise plans (see Pricing). It is part of the hosting contract and fills in the numbers referenced by section 7 of the general terms (availability, maintenance and SLA). The general terms prevail: exclusions and the priority of credits follow section 7, and this document does not deviate from it. Enterprise values can be agreed separately; they are never below the Pro values. The general terms are available in English as a translation; the German version prevails.

2. Availability per plan

PlanCommitted availability per calendar monthEquivalent downtime budget per month
Starter99.5%approx. 3.6 hours
Standard99.5%approx. 3.6 hours
Pro99.9%approx. 43 minutes
Enterpriseindividual, at least the Pro commitment (99.9%)at most approx. 43 minutes

The downtime budget is the arithmetic equivalent of the percentage, not a second commitment. The percentage is what counts.

3. How we measure

  • Reference period: calendar month.
  • Reference object: per instance, not averaged across the platform.
  • Measuring point: reachability of the instance at the HTTP(S) level.
  • Measurement: from a second data centre, separate from the node your instance runs on, at short intervals.
  • Minimum threshold: an interruption is counted from a continuous duration of 5 minutes.
  • Availability = (total minutes of the month minus counted downtime minutes) divided by total minutes of the month.

4. Response times

Business hours are Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 18:00 (Vienna time), Austrian public holidays excluded. A business hour is an hour inside that window. The first response is our first substantive reply to your fault report, not the restoration of service.

LevelPlansFirst response within business hours
BusinessStarter, Standard4 business hours
PriorityPro, Enterprise1 business hour for a total outage of the instance

If a report arrives outside business hours, the clock starts at the next business hour. For Enterprise, on-call coverage outside business hours can be agreed individually.

5. What happens during an outage

  • Node failure: your VM restarts automatically on another node of the cluster. Your data is unaffected.
  • Site failure: the instance is brought back up from the backup at the second site. The target time is in the range of hours, the data state is the last backup.
  • What we do not have yet: cross-site operation without interruption. Today a site failure costs time and the data written since the last backup. Expansion to two sites is planned for 2027. We would rather say so now than during the incident.

6. Credits

If we fall below the committed availability in a calendar month, you get a credit on the monthly fee of the affected instance, on request.

Availability reached in the monthCredit (share of the instance monthly fee)
below the commitment down to 99.0%10%
99.0% down to 95.0%25%
below 95.0%50%
  • Cap: credits per calendar month total at most the monthly fee of the affected instance. The monthly fee is one twelfth of the annual fee when you pay annually, or the monthly instalment when you pay monthly.
  • Claim: in text form within 30 days after the end of the affected month, to service@erpdock.eu, naming the instance and the month.
  • Basis: the externally measured availability data; you can inspect it on request.
  • Settlement: offset against future fees, no cash payout. If the contract ends, any credit not yet offset lapses.
  • Primary remedy: the credit is the primary remedy if availability falls short. Liability for intent and gross negligence, personal injury and claims under mandatory law remain unaffected.

7. What does not count as downtime

Identical to section 7 of the general terms. The following do not count as unavailability:

  • announced maintenance windows (planned maintenance);
  • emergency maintenance for acute security response;
  • force majeure;
  • customer-caused faults (misconfiguration, your own code and modules, resource abuse, suspension for payment default);
  • faults outside the sphere of control of erpdock (for example internet backbone, large-scale DDoS attacks).

A data centre outage is explicitly not excluded: it runs through this SLA and its credits.

8. Frequently asked questions

What counts as downtime?

Your production instance is not reachable over HTTP(S) from the outside. Downtime is counted from a continuous duration of 5 minutes, per instance and per calendar month. Not counted: announced maintenance windows, emergency maintenance for acute security response, force majeure, customer-caused faults, and faults outside the sphere of control of erpdock.

How do I claim a credit?

In text form within 30 days after the end of the affected month, to service@erpdock.eu, naming the instance and the month. The basis is the externally measured availability data; you can inspect it on request. Credits are offset against future fees, never paid out in cash.

Does the SLA cover staging?

No. The availability commitment and the credits apply to production instances only. Staging environments are not covered.

What happens on a hardware failure?

If a node fails, your VM restarts automatically on another node; your data is unaffected. If a whole site fails, the instance is brought back up from the backup at the second site: target time in the range of hours, data state is the last backup. There is no cross-site operation without interruption today; expansion to two sites is planned for 2027.
