1. Availability
Services are considered available if the Customer can use the Service APIs and access the application data at the public endpoints of the Service APIs. Availability is measured continuously and calculated in minutes based on a calendar month.
43800minutes=12months365days×24hours×60minutes
Availability percentage is calculated using the following formula:
Availability=(T−M−Do)(T−M−Do)−D
Where:
- T: Total time (43,800 minutes)
- M: Maintenance
- Do: Downtime not attributable to Ory*
- D: Downtime
*see 4. SLA Exclusions
2. Maintenance
Planned Maintenance
Ory may occasionally schedule planned maintenance to technically update, ensure functionality and
interoperability, and enhance and secure the Service. At least thirty (30) days before any planned
maintenance, Ory will notify customers via the Ory status page, detailing the nature, scope, and
expected duration. Customers can subscribe to receive these notifications via email. Whenever feasible,
these maintenance windows are scheduled during low-traffic times to minimize substantial impact on
Service usage. Ory aims to limit planned maintenance to no more than six hours annually.
Emergency Maintenance
Ory may perform emergency maintenance to address immediate security vulnerabilities, performance
degradation, or availability concerns that could materially impact Customers. Advance notice may not be possible
for emergency maintenance, but Ory will make reasonable efforts to notify Customers via the
Ory status page as soon as practicable.
3. Downtime
Downtime refers to the total number of minutes within a calendar month during which the Service is
unavailable to the customer.
4. SLA Exclusions

- Issues stemming from the Customer or their End Users (hardware, software, or network
problems)

5. Service Credits
- The amount and method of calculation of Service Credits are described below in 7. Service Credit
Calculation.
- Service Credits are the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any violation of the Service
Levels as defined in this document and do not affect the Master Terms.
- Service Credits will only be calculated against the Customer’s monthly subscription plan base fee.
- Service credits are applied to the next billing cycle after the service credit claim is approved,
decreasing the next invoice based on 7. Service Credit Calculation percentage.
6. Service Credits Claims
- To be eligible to submit a Claim, the Customer must first have notified Ory of the specific
incident by creating a support ticket in Zendesk within five (5) business days following such
incident.
- To submit a Claim, Customers must contact Ory as detailed above in 6.1. Customers must
provide reasonable details and sufficient evidence to support any Claim, including but not
limited to detailed descriptions of an incident, the duration of such incident, network
traceroutes, the URL(s) affected, and any steps taken or attempts made by the Customer to
resolve the incident. Customers must submit a claim within 30 days after the end of the month
in which the incident that is the subject of such claim occurred.
- Ory will use all information reasonably available to it to validate a Claim and make a good faith
judgment on whether a Service Credit applies to such Claim.
- The amount of Service Credits is defined in 7. Service Credit Calculation.
