Service Level Agreement

Effective: March 5, 2026

Uptime Commitment

Van Moose commits to 99.5% monthly uptime for all API endpoints on *.vanmoose.cc, measured across each calendar month.

What Counts as Downtime

An API endpoint is considered unavailable when:

  • It returns HTTP 5xx errors for more than 5 consecutive minutes
  • It fails to respond within 30 seconds for more than 5 consecutive minutes

Exclusions

The following are excluded from uptime calculations:

  • Scheduled maintenance — announced at least 24 hours in advance
  • Client-side errors — HTTP 4xx responses (authentication, validation, rate limiting)
  • Force majeure — natural disasters, government actions, widespread internet outages
  • Third-party failures — upstream provider outages beyond Van Moose's control

Service Credits

If monthly uptime falls below 99.5%, eligible paid customers may request service credits:
