Service Level Agreement

Uptime commitments, downtime credits, and support response times for all PARAMANT relay plans.

1. Uptime commitments 2. Downtime credits 3. Support tiers 4. Exclusions 5. Measurement methodology 6. SLA changes 7. Contact

1. Uptime commitments

Monthly uptime percentage is calculated as: (total minutes − downtime minutes) / total minutes × 100

Community
99.5%
~3.6 h/month max downtime
Enterprise
99.95%
~22 min/month max downtime

Uptime is measured per calendar month across the primary relay endpoint assigned to your plan. All five sector relays (health, legal, finance, IoT, relay) are covered.

2. Downtime credits

If PARAMANT fails to meet the monthly uptime commitment, you may request a service credit. Credits are applied to the next billing cycle and are the sole remedy for downtime.

Monthly uptime Community credit Enterprise credit
99.5% – 99.9% 5%
99.0% – 99.5% 15%
95.0% – 99.0% 30%
Below 95.0% 50%
How to claim: Email privacy@paramant.app with subject "SLA credit request" within 30 days of the end of the affected calendar month. Include your API key label and a description of the outage. Credits are not automatically issued.

3. Support tiers

Initial response times are best-effort targets during business hours (09:00–17:00 CET, Mon–Fri).

Tier Channel Initial response Scope
Community GitHub Issues Best effort Bug reports, documentation questions
Enterprise Email + dedicated channel 4 business hours Priority escalation, compliance docs, DPO contact, custom contracts

4. Exclusions

The following are not counted as downtime for SLA purposes:

5. Measurement methodology

PARAMANT does not yet run an automated uptime monitor against every relay. What runs today: the /status page fetches GET /health on all five relays from your own browser and keeps the result for 24 hours. An hourly end-to-end check of the site and the main relay (relay.paramant.app) is built and public in the open-source repository as the heartbeat workflow: a page load in a real browser, a transfer sent and read back, a document signed and its signature verified. It runs hourly once enabled, and it is switched off until its credentials are in place, so nothing on this page rests on it yet. A run that fails opens an issue in the repository. The four sector relays (health, legal, finance, IoT) are reached only to confirm that a retired route stays refused there, so their uptime is not measured.

Historical uptime data is not yet published; the /status page shows the last 24 hours as measured from your browser. Self-hosted operators can verify relay health independently via the /v2/ct/log API endpoint.

6. SLA changes

PARAMANT may update this SLA with 30 days' written notice. Continued use of the service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised SLA. Material reductions to uptime commitments entitle existing paying customers to terminate their subscription and receive a pro-rated refund for the remaining term.
