If the Services are available between 97.75% and 98.24% of the time, a Critical Service Level Failure shall be deemed to have occurred. If the Services are available less than 97.75% of the time, two Critical Service Level Failures shall be deemed to have occurred, and no fees shall be due to Flex from Customer for the month that such failures have occurred.
• 3.2. Backups. Failure by Flex to produce an Incremental Backup shall result in one Basic Service Level Failure. Failure by Flex to produce a Weekly Backup shall result in one Critical Service Level Failure.
