Service Level Agreement June 29, 2021 Effective date: October 30, 2020 Citrix Cloud is designed using industry best practices to achieve a high degree of service availability. This Service Level Agreement (SLA) describes Citrix’s commitment for Citrix Cloud Service availability. This SLA is part of the Citrix end user service agreement (EUSA) for covered services (“Services”). Citrix’s service commitment (“Service Commitment”) is to maintain at least 99.9% monthly uptime (“Monthly Uptime”) on Services. Monthly Uptime is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percent‑ age of minutes during a full month of a Service in which the Service instance was in the state of “Un‑ available.” Services and the measure of availability for each are set forth in the table below. Monthly Uptime percentage measurements exclude downtime resulting from: • Regularly scheduled maintenance windows. • Customer’s failure to follow configuration requirements for the Service as documented on https: //docs.citrix.com, or abusive behavior, or faulty input. • Customer’s use of a Service after Citrix advised Customer to modify Customer’s use of theSer‑ vice, if Customer did not modify use. • Caused by any component not managed by Citrix including, but not limited to, Customer con‑ trolled physical and virtual machines, Customer installed and maintained operating systems, Customer installed and controlled software, networking equipment or other hardware; Cus‑ tomer defined and controlled security settings, group policies and other configuration policies; public cloud provider failures, Internet Service Provider failures; or other Customer support fac‑ tors external to Citrix’ control. • Customer’s employees, agents, contractors, or vendors, or anyone gaining access by means of Customer’s passwords or equipment, or otherwise resulting from Customer’s failure to follow appropriate security practices. • Customer’s attempts to perform operations that exceed Service entitlements. © 1999–2021 Citrix Systems, Inc.
