SilverStripe will calculate a missed service level as a service level credit and include it in the agency’s monthly invoice.
The calculation is described in detail in the contract, but in simple terms:
The credit pool is the maximum that can be paid. This is 40% of the monthly fee.
Each service level has a weighting. For example, SL3 (website uptime) has a weighting of 60%. The credit for failing to meet that service level would be monthly fee ($) x 0.6 x 0.4 = service level credit ($).
If more than one service level has been missed, the amounts are summed, up to the credit pool maximum.
If the agency has caused the problem. For example, if third party developers released code that took the site offline.
