How it comes up, in Chapter 6
A service level is a promise about how well software runs, written as a number, such as the hours it may be down. From go-live, Larchpay must meet the service levels in Schedule 3, which limit unplanned downtime and set response times for faults. If the app is down too long, Larchpay gives Tressick a service credit, a sum taken off the next invoice. Downtime that keeps coming back lets Tressick end the Agreement.
