Article 1 (Definitions)​

  1. Failure: The inability to successfully create, restore, delete, or update the Member’s active file storage backup.
  2. Calculation Method: The error rate is calculated by summing the number of errors that occurred during creation, restoration, deletion, or update requests for backups within a 5-minute interval and dividing this sum by the total number of requests during that 5-minute interval. If no requests were made during a specific 5-minute interval, the error rate for that interval is deemed to be 0%.
  3. Monthly Availability Rate (%): 100% - Monthly average of 5-minute intervals
  4. Monthly Fee: Refers to the actual amount paid by the Member to the Company for the KakaoCloud Service, specifically for file storage backup, in a month a failure occurs. If the fee for cloud service is calculated and billed separately per instance or task, it refers to the actual amount paid by the Member for the respective instance or task.
