2. Service Availability
2.1 Calculation of the Service Success Rate
The Service Availability of the Service is calculated on the basis of Service Months. The average of the Error Rate Per 5 Minutes is calculated by dividing the sum of Error Rate Per 5 Minutes within a Service Month by the total number of 5-minute periods in that Service Month, from which the Service Availability is then derived, i.e.,
Service Availability = (1 – The sum of Error Rate Per 5 Minutes in a Service Month / The total number of 5-minute periods in that Service Month) x 100%.
The total number of 5-minute periods in a Service Month = 12 x 24 x number of days in that Service Month

You are entitled to the compensation as set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement if the Service Availability fails to meet the aforementioned standard (other than in any circumstance as provided in the Release of Liabilities provisions).
