Service Level Agreement

Effective date: 1 January 2025

This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") is between Data Docked OÜ (VAT EE102956214) and the Customer accessing the Data Docked API under a paid plan.

This document describes Data Docked's service availability targets. These are goals, not contractual guarantees. Actual uptime may vary. Nothing in this document creates a binding obligation or limits the disclaimers in our Terms of Service.

1. Availability target

Data Docked targets 99% monthly availability for the API on a best-efforts basis. This is an aspiration, not a guarantee. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free access to the service at any time.

This target excludes (among other things):

  • Scheduled or emergency maintenance, with or without advance notice.
  • Third-party infrastructure issues (cloud providers, CDN, DNS, satellite data feeds).
  • Force majeure events of any kind.
  • Issues caused by the Customer's configuration, code, or network.
  • Degraded performance that does not result in complete unavailability.
  • Beta features or endpoints marked as experimental.

2. How we measure availability

Availability is measured solely by Data Docked's internal monitoring. Customer-side measurements are not used. An outage is counted only when our monitoring confirms complete endpoint unavailability for ten (10) or more consecutive minutes. Elevated latency, partial errors, or degraded performance are not counted as unavailability.

3. Incident communication targets

The following are informal targets for how we aim to communicate during incidents. They are not guaranteed response times and do not create any obligation.

SeverityDescriptionTarget acknowledgement
HighComplete API outageWithin a few hours (business hours)
MediumDegraded performanceWithin 1 business day
LowMinor or cosmeticBest efforts

All targets apply during business hours (Monday–Friday, 09:00–17:00 CET) only.

4. Goodwill credits

In the event of a significant, confirmed outage, Data Docked may, at its sole discretion, offer a goodwill credit to affected customers. Any such credit is a gesture of good faith and does not constitute an admission of liability or a precedent for future incidents. Credits, if offered, are applied to account balance and cannot be exchanged for cash.

To request consideration for a goodwill credit, email [email protected] with your account email and a brief description of the impact. Requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

5. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Data Docked's total liability for any service disruption is limited to the fees paid by the Customer in the calendar month in which the disruption occurred. Data Docked is not liable for any indirect, consequential, incidental, or special damages arising from unavailability of the service, including but not limited to lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption.

6. Changes to this document

Data Docked may update these targets at any time by posting a revised version at this URL. Continued use of the service after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

7. Real-time status

Current API status and recent incidents are published on our status page. We post updates there as information becomes available.
