1. Overview
This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") describes Elnora AI's commitments regarding platform availability, support responsiveness, and remedies for enterprise customers. This SLA is incorporated by reference into your Master Service Agreement ("MSA") or Order Form with Elnora AI.
Current service status and uptime metrics are available at:
- Status Page: status.elnora.ai - Real-time platform status, incident updates, and historical logs
- Trust Center: trust.elnora.ai - Security certifications, compliance documentation, and SLA metrics
2. Definitions
"Availability" means the percentage of time during a calendar month that the Elnora platform is operational and accessible to Customer, excluding Scheduled Maintenance and Excused Downtime.
"Elnora" means the Elnora entity (Elnora AI, Inc. or Elnora AI OÜ) identified as the contracting party in Customer's MSA or Order Form; if none is specified, Elnora AI, Inc. Capitalised terms not defined in this SLA have the meanings given in the Terms of Service, DPA, or MSA.
"Critical Defect" means a defect that renders the platform completely inoperable or causes complete loss of core functionality with no workaround available (e.g., platform entirely inaccessible, data corruption, security breach).
"Medium Defect" means a defect that significantly impairs core functionality but a workaround exists, or that affects non-core functionality without a workaround (e.g., protocol generation fails intermittently, data export unavailable).
"Low Defect" means a defect that causes minor inconvenience with minimal impact on core functionality (e.g., UI display issues, documentation errors, cosmetic problems).
"Downtime" means any period during which the Elnora platform is unavailable to Customer, measured in minutes. Downtime begins when Elnora confirms the issue or when automated monitoring detects unavailability, whichever occurs first.
"Excused Downtime" means Downtime that is excluded from Availability calculations as specified in Section 6 (SLA Exclusions).
"Monthly Uptime Percentage" means the total minutes in a calendar month minus Downtime minutes (excluding Excused Downtime), divided by total minutes in that month, expressed as a percentage.
"Scheduled Maintenance" means planned maintenance activities performed during designated Maintenance Windows with advance notice to Customer.
3. Platform Availability Commitment
3.1 Uptime Commitment
Elnora commits to maintaining 99.0% Monthly Uptime Percentage for the Elnora platform during each calendar month.
| Commitment | Monthly Uptime | Maximum Monthly Downtime |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 99.0% | ~7.2 hours |
3.2 Uptime Calculation
Monthly Uptime Percentage is calculated as:
((Total Minutes in Month - Downtime Minutes) / Total Minutes in Month) × 100
Scheduled Maintenance and Excused Downtime are not counted as Downtime for purposes of this calculation.
3.3 Measurement
Availability is measured using Elnora's internal infrastructure monitoring systems, which perform synthetic availability checks at intervals of no greater than five (5) minutes. Historical uptime data is published at status.elnora.ai and is the authoritative record for purposes of remedy calculations. In the event of a discrepancy between Customer's own measurements and Elnora's monitoring records, Elnora's records shall be determinative unless Customer can demonstrate a systemic error in Elnora's monitoring methodology.
4. Maintenance Windows
4.1 Scheduled Maintenance
Elnora performs routine maintenance to ensure platform security, performance, and reliability. Non-routine Scheduled Maintenance means planned maintenance expected to affect Availability or core functionality. Scheduled Maintenance is conducted during the following windows:
Primary Maintenance Window:
- Saturdays, 02:00–06:00 UTC
- Sundays, 02:00–06:00 UTC
Maintenance Limits:
- Target: up to 4 hours of Scheduled Maintenance per calendar month
- Maximum: 48 hours per calendar year (cumulative)
4.2 Maintenance Notice
| Maintenance Type | Advance Notice |
|---|---|
| Scheduled Maintenance (routine) | 72 hours (minimum) |
| Scheduled Maintenance (non-routine, i.e. expected to affect Availability or core functionality) | 48 hours (minimum) |
| Emergency Maintenance | As soon as practicable; minimum two (2) hours where feasible |
Emergency Maintenance may be performed outside designated windows when necessary to address Critical Defects, security vulnerabilities, or threats to platform integrity. Where Emergency Maintenance is required immediately upon discovery of the triggering condition (such that advance notice is not feasible), Elnora will notify Customer concurrently with or immediately after commencement of the maintenance activity.
4.3 Maintenance Notification
Customers will be notified of Scheduled Maintenance via:
- Email to designated technical contacts
- Status page at status.elnora.ai
- In-platform notification (where applicable)
5. Defect Response and Resolution
5.1 Defect Severity and Response Times
| Severity | Description | Initial Response | Target Resolution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical Defect | Platform completely inoperable or complete loss of core functionality, no workaround available | 1 hour | 8 hours |
| Medium Defect | Core functionality impaired, workaround available | 4 hours | 3 business days |
| Low Defect | Minor issues, minimal business impact | 1 business day | 14 business days |
Security vulnerabilities are governed by the remediation targets in Section 8.1 rather than the defect-response times above.
5.2 Response Time Definitions
Initial Response means acknowledgment of the reported issue with assignment to appropriate personnel and preliminary assessment.
Target Resolution means restoration of service or provision of an acceptable workaround. Complex issues may require extended resolution timelines with regular status updates provided to Customer.
Initial Response and Target Resolution times reflect Elnora's targets during its standard support coverage hours, and Elnora will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet them. Elnora provides 24x7 coverage for Critical defects and business-hours coverage (Monday–Friday) for Medium and Low defects.
5.3 Escalation
Customers may request escalation of any open defect by contacting their assigned Customer Success Manager or emailing support@elnora.ai with "ESCALATION" in the subject line.
6. SLA Exclusions
The Availability commitment does not apply to, and Downtime does not include, any unavailability resulting from:
6.1 Scheduled Maintenance

Executive Review: Meeting with Elnora executive leadership to review the incident, discuss remediation, and address Customer concerns.
7.4 Remedy Limitations
- Remedies set out in this Section 7 are Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for Elnora's failure to meet the availability commitments in Section 3.1. Availability failures do not constitute a material breach of the Terms of Service for purposes of termination for cause under Section 15.4 of the Terms of Service, except as provided in Section 7.6 below.
- The total value of subscription extensions awarded for availability failures in any single calendar month shall not exceed the equivalent of sixty (60) days' Fees for that month.
- Multiple incidents in the same calendar month are aggregated for remedy calculation.
- Remedies are not transferable between Customer accounts or subscription periods.
- The subscription extension is Customer's sole monetary remedy for an availability failure; Priority Support, the Detailed Incident Report, and Executive Review are provided as additional service measures and do not give rise to separate monetary remedies or claims.
7.5 Remedy Request Process
To request a remedy, Customer must submit a written request to support@elnora.ai with the subject line "SLA Remedy Request" containing:
- Customer legal name and account identifier;
- The affected calendar month and specific dates of claimed Downtime;
- The Elnora status-page incident reference number(s), if available;
- A description of the operational impact on Customer.
Elnora will acknowledge receipt within two (2) business days and provide a remedy determination within ten (10) business days of receipt of a complete request.
7.6 Termination Right for Repeated SLA Failures
If Elnora fails to meet the 99.0% Monthly Uptime Percentage commitment in any three (3) or more calendar months within any rolling twelve (12) month period, Customer may, on thirty (30) days' written notice to Elnora delivered within sixty (60) days after the date on which Elnora publishes or confirms the Monthly Uptime Percentage for the third qualifying calendar month (or, if earlier, the date Customer otherwise becomes aware of the third qualifying failure), terminate the applicable Order Form on the basis of this Section 7.6 (which operates independently of the cure process in Section 15.4 of the Terms of Service) and receive a pro-rated refund of prepaid Fees for the unused remainder of the Subscription Term. The three qualifying months need not be consecutive. This right is in addition to the remedies in Section 7.2. This refund right operates as an express exception to the non-refundability of Fees under Section 5.1 of the Terms of Service.
