13.1. Uptime Target. NEXUS targets 99.5% monthly uptime for the production Platform, measured as the percentage of minutes in a calendar month during which the Platform’s core services are available and responsive (“Uptime Target”).

  1. Scheduled maintenance, provided that NEXUS gives at least 24 hours’ advance notice when reasonably possible;
  2. Force majeure events;

  2. 10% credit for uptime between 95.0% and 99.0%; and
  3. 25% credit for uptime below 95.0%.

Service credits are applied to future billing periods and do not exceed 25% of the applicable monthly subscription fee. Service credits are the sole and exclusive remedy for failure to meet the Uptime Target.

15.5. Data Risk.

NEXUS strongly recommends that Alpha and Beta Users maintain independent backups of critical data.

15.6. Feature Changes. Pre-Release Features may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
