FAQ

FAQ

Does the SLA apply to free users?

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.

Will Dianming compensate for upstream provider outages?

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.

Can enterprises sign a paper SLA agreement?

Yes. Enterprise users can attach the paper SLA agreement to their procurement contract. Contact pxf@dianming.hk.cn for the agreement text.

Is there a cap on compensation?

Monthly compensation is capped at 100% of the user's settled amount for that month; for monthly-billing customers, the current month's invoice amount is the basis.

An SLA isn't a promise in a document — it's the promise of an engineer answering the phone within 5 minutes on every on-call night.
