SD does not include time where the Product is not available due to a Scheduled Outage, provide the Schedule Outage has been notified and does not exceed any limits for Scheduled Outages in this Schedule.

Support Hours means 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.SD commences on the Customer making a call or Uptick detecting a defect in the Product and ceases once the Product is available to the Customer in accordance with the Documentation for a continuous period of at least 30 minutes.
