Maincloud SLA Policy
Last updated: June 23, 2026
This Maincloud SLA Policy, which we refer to as this "Policy," applies to your use of the Maincloud Pro plan of SpacetimeDB Maincloud.
This Policy is incorporated into and forms part of the Clockwork Laboratories, Inc. Terms of Service, unless you have entered into a separate written agreement with us that expressly supersedes this Policy.
This Policy is intended to give Maincloud Pro customers who are not Enterprise customers a clear, credit-only remedy if Maincloud Pro experiences a clear service disruption. This Policy is not an Enterprise SLA and does not provide Enterprise-level uptime commitments, support commitments, custom remedies, service extensions, termination rights, refunds, damages, or other Enterprise remedies.
For purposes of this Policy, a creditable Service Disruption occurs only when Actual Availability for the Covered Maincloud Service is less than 99.5% for a calendar month, subject to the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions below.
This Policy applies only to Maincloud Pro. This Policy does not apply to Maincloud Free, Enterprise Services, paid dedicated deployments, self-hosted deployments, private deployments, preview features, beta features, alpha features, experimental features, free trials, or any services that we identify as excluded from this Policy.
For clarity, Enterprise customers may be eligible for separate Enterprise service level commitments only if expressly stated in an applicable written agreement, order form, or Enterprise policy.
1. Uptime Commitment
Subject to the exclusions below, Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Actual Availability for the Covered Maincloud Service of at least 99.5% during each calendar month, as measured by Company using its internal monitoring systems.
A failure to meet this uptime commitment is a Service Disruption only if Actual Availability for the Covered Maincloud Service is less than 99.5% for the applicable calendar month.
This uptime commitment applies only to the general availability of the Covered Maincloud Service for active Maincloud Pro accounts in good standing. It does not apply to your applications, modules, databases, configurations, schemas, queries, workloads, networks, devices, third-party services, or failures caused by your use of the Services.
2. SLA Credits
If a Service Disruption occurs during a calendar month, you may be eligible to receive an SLA credit in the form of a promotional SpacetimeDB Maincloud account credit, subject to the requirements and exclusions in this Policy. SLA credits are calculated monthly.
The amount of any SLA credit will be calculated as follows:
SLA Credit = Credit Base x Credit Percentage
For purposes of this calculation:
"Credit Base" means the usage-based fees paid or payable by you for the affected Covered Maincloud Service for the applicable calendar month, excluding initial subscription fees, base subscription fees, minimum commitments, prepaid amounts, taxes, pass-through charges, third-party fees, professional services, support fees, marketplace charges, previously issued credits, discounts, refunds, chargebacks, and any other excluded amounts.
The applicable Credit Percentage will be determined as follows:
| Actual Availability | Credit Percentage |
|---|---|
| Less than 99.5% but greater than or equal to 99.0% | 10% |
| Less than 99.0% but greater than or equal to 98.0% | 15% |
| Less than 98.0% but greater than or equal to 96.0% | 20% |
| Less than 96.0% | 30% |
SLA credits are your sole and exclusive remedy, and Company's sole and exclusive liability, for any Service Disruption or for any unavailability, downtime, interruption, degradation, latency, data access issue, or other performance issue affecting Maincloud Pro.
SLA credits are subject to the following limitations:
- SLA credits are not refunds and have no cash value.
- SLA credits may be used only against future eligible SpacetimeDB Maincloud charges designated by Company.
- SLA credits may not be applied to Enterprise Services, taxes, third-party fees, professional services, support services, marketplace charges, or any other excluded charges.
- SLA credits are non-transferable and may not be sold, assigned, exchanged, or redeemed for cash.
- SLA credits are capped at 20% of the total amounts actually paid by you for Maincloud Pro during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the end of the calendar month in which the Service Disruption occurred. If you have used Maincloud Pro for fewer than twelve (12) months, the cap is 20% of the total amounts actually paid by you for Maincloud Pro during that shorter period.
- Only one SLA credit may be issued per Maincloud Pro account per calendar month, regardless of the number of incidents, projects, databases, organizations, users, or workloads affected.
- Multiple periods of Unscheduled Downtime in the same calendar month may be aggregated for purposes of calculating Actual Availability, but the applicable SLA credit will be based on the final Actual Availability calculation for that calendar month.
- You may not create or use multiple accounts, organizations, projects, identities, or other means to obtain additional SLA credits.
- If you have no eligible future Maincloud charges before the applicable SLA credit expires, the SLA credit will expire unused.
3. Credit Claims, Requests, and Issuance
Company will calculate Actual Availability on a monthly basis after the end of each calendar month. If Company determines that a Service Disruption occurred, Company will use best efforts to make any applicable SLA credits available within thirty (30) days after the end of the calculated month.
Company may make SLA credits available in one or more of the following ways:
- by applying the SLA credit automatically to your account;
- by allowing you to claim the SLA credit through your account portal on Company's website; or
- by allowing you to request the SLA credit directly by emailing Company at contact@spacetimedb.com.
Unless Company applies the SLA credit automatically, your ability to claim or request the SLA credit expires thirty (30) days after the date the SLA credit first becomes available for you to claim through your account portal or otherwise through a Company-designated claim process.
If Company allows direct requests by email, your request must include:
- your account ID, organization ID, project ID, or registered email address;
- the affected Maincloud Pro project, database, or service;
- the dates, times, and approximate duration of the alleged unavailability;
- a reasonable description of the impact you experienced; and
- any reasonably available logs, error messages, screenshots, or other information supporting the request.
Company will determine eligibility for SLA credits based on its own monitoring, logs, records, calculations, and reasonable investigation. Company's measurements and calculations will control for purposes of determining Actual Availability, whether a Service Disruption occurred, and the amount of any SLA credit.
If Company confirms that you are eligible for an SLA credit, Company will issue the SLA credit to your account. Company will use best efforts to issue eligible SLA credits within thirty (30) days after the end of the calculated month, but issuance may depend on account status, billing status, claim submission, verification, and other administrative requirements.
You must have an active Maincloud Pro account in good standing to receive, claim, or use an SLA credit. Accounts that are suspended, terminated, restricted, abusive, fraudulent, delinquent, subject to payment failure, or otherwise not in good standing are not eligible for SLA credits.
4. Definitions
For purposes of this Policy only, the following definitions apply.
"Actual Availability" means the percentage of Total Eligible Minutes in a calendar month during which the Covered Maincloud Service is available, calculated as follows:
Actual Availability = ((Total Eligible Minutes - Unscheduled Downtime) / Total Eligible Minutes) x 100
Actual Availability is measured solely by Company.
"Covered Maincloud Service" means the hosted Maincloud database runtime and service endpoints controlled by Company that are necessary for client applications to connect to and use a Running Maincloud Pro database. Covered Maincloud Service does not include the Website, documentation, marketing pages, pricing pages, community services, support channels, account management interfaces, billing systems, dashboards, analytics pages, or administrative tools, except to the extent their unavailability directly prevents client applications from connecting to or using a Running Maincloud Pro database.
"Credit Base" has the meaning given in Section 2.
"Credit Percentage" means the percentage corresponding to the applicable Actual Availability range in the table in Section 2.
"Maincloud Pro" means the paid Maincloud plan designated as "Maincloud Pro" on Company's pricing page, or any successor plan that Company expressly identifies as eligible for this Policy.
"Running" means that the applicable Maincloud Pro database is not paused, suspended, disabled, deleted, deleting, pending deletion, administratively restricted, or otherwise unavailable due to your action, billing status, spending limit, configuration, account status, or other exclusion under this Policy.
"Service Disruption" means a calendar month in which Actual Availability for the Covered Maincloud Service is less than 99.5%, subject to the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions in this Policy.
"SLA Credit" means a promotional credit issued by Company to your SpacetimeDB Maincloud account in accordance with this Policy. SLA credits are not refunds, are not cash, and are not legal tender.
"Total Eligible Minutes" means the total number of minutes in the applicable calendar month during which your account was subscribed to Maincloud Pro and the applicable Maincloud Pro database was Running, excluding minutes attributable to the exclusions in this Policy.
"Unscheduled Downtime" means the number of minutes during which the Covered Maincloud Service is generally unavailable due to a failure within Company's reasonable control. Unscheduled Downtime does not include downtime, unavailability, performance issues, interruption, latency, errors, or degradation caused by or attributable to any exclusion in this Policy.
