and compensation scheme of KMS provided by Ping An Cloud to customers. </p>
<p class="p"><strong class="ph b">1. Service Content</strong>: Ping An Cloud KMS provides key management services by region. </p>
<p class="p"><strong class="ph b">2. Service Mode</strong>: Billing. </p>
<p class="p"><strong class="ph b">2.1 Monthly Service Fee</strong>: We calculate separately the KMS service fee incurred in a

<p class="p"><strong class="ph b">5. Requests</strong>: </p>
<p class="p"><strong class="ph b">5.1 Failed Request</strong>s: KMS determines requests with HTTP status code 5XX and

<p class="p"><strong class="ph b">6. Service Availability</strong>
</p>
<p class="p">6.1 Service Availability Calculation </p>
<p class="p">We calculate KMS service availability of a Ping An Cloud account by region and by service
cycle. The service availability is calculated based on the average of the error rates
from each five minute interval in a service cycle. The average error rate equals to the
sum of the error rates of five minute intervals divided by the total number of five
minute intervals during the service cycle. </p>
<p class="p">(Note: The total number of the five minute intervals in a service cycle = 12 * 24 * the
number of days of the service cycle) </p>
<p class="p"><strong class="ph b">6.2 Service Availability Commitment</strong>
</p>
<p class="p">The service availability of KMS is no less than 99.90%, excluding request failures or
service unavailability caused by: </p>
<p class="p">(1) System maintenance after pre-notification, including cutover, repair, upgrade and
simulated failure drills; </p>
<p class="p">(2) Any network or equipment failure or configuration adjustment outside the equipment of
Ping An Cloud; </p>
<p class="p">(3) Cyber attacks on the customer’s applications; </p>
<p class="p">(4) The loss or leakage of data, passwords, etc. due to improper maintenance or
unintentional disclosure of the customer; </p>

Cloud products; </p>
