"Availability Calculation" means the percentage of time the service is deemed Available on a monthly basis less any downtime due to Routine Maintenance. Downtime or service interruption due to maintenance or error correction other than Routine Maintenance as defined in the SLA will be chargeable against Availability. Downtime attributable to Force Majeure Events shall not be included in the calculation of Company's performance against the Target Availability Level.

“Severity Level 2 or “S2” (Significant)” means an Incident where one or more important functions of the Service are unavailable with no acceptable Alternative Solution.
