Service Level Agreement
1. Uptime Commitment
Sandbox Platform commits to 80% monthly uptime for the control plane and container provisioning API. We publish live and historical uptime at status.ab0t.com.
| Service Component | Monthly Commitment | Applies To |
|---|---|---|
| Control Plane API | 80% | Pro, Enterprise |
| Container Provisioning | 80% | Pro, Enterprise |
| Dashboard & UI | Best effort | All plans |
Enterprise customers can negotiate enhanced uptime commitments and binding SLA terms. Contact enterprise@ab0t.com.
2. Definitions
2.1 Monthly Uptime
Total minutes in a calendar month minus confirmed Downtime minutes, divided by total minutes. We use our own monitoring (and cross-check against our status page) to calculate this.
2.2 Downtime
A period where the Service is unavailable or severely degraded, confirmed by our monitoring:
- API Downtime: Error rate above 10% for all requests for 10+ consecutive minutes
- Provisioning Downtime: Container creation failing for the majority of requests for 10+ consecutive minutes
2.3 What Is Not Counted
- Scheduled maintenance announced at least 24 hours in advance
- Emergency security patches
- Issues caused by your code, configuration, or third-party dependencies
- Force majeure (AWS outages, natural disasters, etc.)
- Features marked beta or preview
- Free tier accounts
- Account suspensions for Terms of Service violations
Note on AWS dependency: Our infrastructure runs on AWS (us-west-2). A regional AWS outage that affects our services is treated as force majeure. We design for resilience but cannot guarantee service during AWS infrastructure failures.
3. Service Credits
If we fall below the committed uptime in a calendar month, you may request a service credit.
| Monthly Uptime Achieved | Credit | How to Claim |
|---|---|---|

| 50% – 70% | 25% of that month's charges | Email support@ab0t.com |
| Below 50% | 50% of that month's charges | Email support@ab0t.com |

4. Support
