4. Service Credit Claims.
- For 21Vianet to consider a Claim, Customer must submit the Claim to 21Vianet’s customer support by the end of the calendar month following the month in which the Incident that is subject to the Claim occurs. For example, if the Incident occurred on February 15th, 21Vianet must receive the Claim and all required information by March 31st. Customer must provide to 21Vianet’s customer support all information necessary for 21Vianet to validate the Claim, including but not limited to: (i) a detailed description of the Incident; (ii) information regarding the time and duration of the Downtime; (iii) the number and location(s) of affected end users (if applicable); and (iv) a description of Customer’s attempts to resolve the Incident at the time of occurrence.

Customer must be in compliance with the Agreement to be eligible for a Service Credit. If 21Vianet determines that a Service Credit is owed to Customer, 21Vianet will apply the Service Credit to Customer’s Applicable Monthly Service Fees.
- If Customer purchased more than one Service, then Customer may submit Claims pursuant to the process described above as if each Service was covered by an individual SLA. In the event that more than one Service Level for a particular Service is not met because of the same Incident, Customer must choose only one Service Level under which to make a Claim based on the Incident. Unless as otherwise provided in a specific SLA, only one Service Credit is permitted per Service for an Applicable Monthly Period.
- Service Credits are Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any performance or availability issues for any Service under the Agreement and this SLA. Customer may not unilaterally offset its Applicable Monthly Service Fees for any performance or availability issues.
- Service Credits apply only to fees paid for the particular Service, Service Resource, or Service tier for which a Service Level has not been met. In cases where Service Levels apply to individual Service Resources or to separate Service tiers, Service Credits apply only to fees paid for the affected Service Resource or Service tier, as applicable.
- The Service Credits awarded in any billing month for a particular Service or Service Resource will not, under any circumstance, exceed Customer’s Applicable Monthly Service Fees for that Service or Service Resource, as applicable, in the billing month.
- If Customer purchased Services as part of a single offer, the Applicable Monthly Service Fees and Service Credit for each Service will be pro-rated. In cases where Customer purchased a Service from a reseller, Customer will receive a service credit directly from its reseller and the reseller will receive a Service Credit directly from 21Vianet. The Service Credit will be based on the estimated retail price for the applicable Service, as determined by 21Vianet in its reasonable discretion.
