Service Maintenance
- Maintenance will take place according to our prevailing Maintenance Schedule.
- Maintenance periods may periodically result in the Service Offerings being Unavailable to you. Downtime falling within Scheduled Routine or Planned maintenance is Scheduled Downtime and is not eligible for Service Credits.
- Emergency maintenance may have less than a 24-hour notification period. Emergency maintenance may be performed at any time, with or without notice as deemed necessary by us. Emergency maintenance falling outside Scheduled Routine or Planned maintenance is eligible for Service Credits
Terms
We must receive the claim within one month of the end of the month in which the Incident that is the subject of the claim occurred. For example, if the Incident occurred on February 12th, we must receive the claim and all required information by March 31st.
We will evaluate all information reasonably available to us and make a good faith determination of whether a Service Credit is owed. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to process claims during the subsequent month and within forty five (45) days of receipt. You must be in compliance with all Axon agreements in order to be eligible for a Service Credit. If we determine that a Service Credit is owed to you, we will apply the Service Credit to the end of your Service Offering subscription term. Service Credits may not be exchanged for or converted to monetary amounts.
