Service Level Agreement for Atlassian cloud apps

Along with each of our cloud Premium and Enterprise apps, we include a Service Level Agreement (SLA). Our SLA guarantees 99.90% uptime for Premium apps and 99.95% uptime for Enterprise apps. If you encounter issues that don’t meet our guarantee, you can submit a request for compensation in the form of credits to your next bill.

The following apps qualify for SLA compensation:

Monthly uptime percentage for Premium plans

  • Jira Premium: 99.90%

  • Jira Product Discovery 99.9%

  • Jira Service Management Premium: 99.90%

  • Confluence Premium: 99.90%

  • Bitbucket Cloud Premium plans: 99.90%

  • Compass Premium: 99.90%

Process to get compensation

If you think you qualify for compensation, you need to submit two separate requests to get help and compensation.

  1. Report your problem and get help. To do that, submit a technical support request during the incident at support.atlassian.com/contact.

  2. Request a compensation credit. After you submit a technical support ticket, you have until the 15th the month after the problem occurred to submit a compensation request. To do that, submit a separate SLA compensation request, as explained in the next section.

You can only request SLA compensation for production instances of Premium and Enterprise apps. Trial and sandbox instances are ineligible for SLA compensation.

Request a compensation credit

You can submit a request for an app if you have one of the following roles:

To submit a request:

  1. Go to support.atlassian.com/contact.

  2. From the dropdown What can we help you with?, select Compensation Requests.

  3. From Select a topic, select Cloud Premium SLA compensation request or Cloud Enterprise compensation request, depending on the plan of the app.

  4. Enter the rest of the details for your request and click Submit.

If multiple incidents occur for one app during a given month, include all of them in one compensation ticket. If incidents occur across apps, you need to create separate tickets for each app.

Receive compensation

After submitting your request, our team will validate the claim and award a service credit when applicable. Once we determine the credit amount, we add it to the ticket. If you disagree with the amount awarded, you have 3 business days to request that we revisit the claim.

Depending on the downtime you experience, we offer the following tiers of service credit:

Monthly uptime percentage

Service credit for Premium apps

Service credit for Enterprise apps

Less than 99.95%
Greater than or equal to 99.90%

N/A

5%

Less than 99.90%
Greater than or equal to 99.00%

10%



Less than 99.00%
Greater than or equal to 95.00%

25%



Less than 95.0%

50%



If your bill is on monthly payments, your service credit will be based on the monthly fee for the impacted apps. You receive that credit on your next month’s invoice.

If you pay your bill annually, your service credit will be based on your annual fee (adjusted for amount per month) for the impacted app. You receive that credit on your next annual invoice.
