- In the event that Service Levels fail to meet the targeted Up Time and/or the targeted System Response Time metrics in any Service Period, SCW’s obligations are limited to providing an analysis and explanation of the reason(s) and proposed reasonable measures to eliminate the undershoot. Such measures may require changes either in the usage of the Services by the Customer, or of the Services by SCW.
