Covered tiers
The 99.99% target applies to Business and Agency subscribers on monthly or yearly billing. Free / Starter / Pro receive best-effort availability without a credit-backed commitment.
What counts as unavailability
"Unavailability" means a continuous period (≥ 5 minutes) during which all of the following are true for our primary EU region:
- the API at
monitorah.com/api/v1/healthreturns non-2xx, OR - the dashboard at
monitorah.comreturns non-2xx, OR - scheduled probe runs fail to write
CheckLogrows for >20% of active monitors.
Independent third-party monitoring (Pingdom, StatusGator) is the tie-breaker if there's disagreement.
Pro-rated credits
The credit is calculated as:
credit = (minutes_unavailable / minutes_in_month) × monthly_fee × 10
The 10× multiplier ("we owe you ten times the time we cost you") caps at 100% of one month's fee. Credits apply automatically on the next invoice.
Exclusions
- Scheduled maintenance announced 24 hours in advance via /status
- Upstream provider failures (Hetzner, Postal, Stripe, Twilio) lasting under 60 minutes
- Customer-side actions: revoked API keys, monitor configs that reference unreachable hosts
- Force majeure
How to claim
Credits are issued automatically when our internal availability check triggers. If you believe an outage went unrecorded, email support@monitorah.com within 30 days with the time window and any third-party evidence.
Historical uptime
Live uptime is published at /status/monitorah with monthly aggregates. The page is itself monitored from outside the primary region.
