We will calculate your Uptime Percentage in accordance with this Policy and using our system logs and other records. If we deem a Credit is appropriate, the Credit will be calculated as a percentage of the total fees and charges paid by you to us for the Platform in the calendar month in which the Uptime SLA was not met corresponding to the Uptime Percentage specified in the table above, up to a maximum credit per calendar month equal to 50% of the total fees paid by you in the aggregate for all Claims.

Credits cannot be exchanged for, or converted to, monetary compensation.
