Force majeure
Force majeure events such as earthquakes, floods, war or changes in government policy.
ENTERPRISE-GRADE SLA
Clearly defined, computable and compensable. This agreement applies to all paying users of the Dianming Token API gateway service and takes effect on the date of your first top-up. Since launch, our SLA achievement rate is 99.97% with no compensation ever triggered.
COMPENSATION
When monthly availability falls below the commitment, the month's service fee is refunded at the rates below; the monthly compensation cap is 100% of that user's settled amount for the month.
| Monthly availability | Allowed downtime | Refund | Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| ≥ 99.9% | ≤ 43.8 min | 0% (met) | Normal |
| 99.5% – 99.9% | 43.8 min – 3.6 h | 10% | Minor |
| 99% – 99.5% | 3.6 – 7.2 h | 25% | Moderate |
| 95% – 99% | 7.2 – 36 h | 50% | Critical |
| < 95% | > 36 h | 100% | Major incident |

FAQ
Free trial quotas (1M tokens granted at registration) do not qualify for SLA compensation. Paying users — including enterprise monthly-billing customers — enjoy the 99.9% SLA from their first top-up.
Dianming minimizes the impact through multi-line disaster recovery. If a model becomes completely unavailable, Dianming is only responsible for its own gateway faults; official upstream outages fall under the exceptions clause, and we will suggest alternative models.
