Availability SLA
For customers with a paid service contract, Glean will meet or exceed 99.9% uptime availability for every calendar month of the service term.
Glean Maintenance Policy
The Glean service is engineered with minimal downtime by design. There are occasions in which scheduled or emergency maintenance are required to maintain long-term service availability and will not be counted toward downtime. Glean will communicate scheduled maintenance and emergency maintenance which impacts service availability as appropriate.

Any Service Credits awarded will be in the form of future service fees beyond the current contracted service period.
