With a few exceptions, for most of the above Services, the service usage calculation for billing purposes is based on the committed subscribed quantity, as stated on the Order Form. This section details the service usage calculation methods for usage- based Services where billing is based on actual usage, and not solely on the committed subscribed quantity.

A. Service usage calculation for Elastic Subscriptions

Elastic Subscriptions for all Aryaka Services are allowed when the SmartManage- ElasticSubscription-Multiplier option is present on the Order Form and has been elected by the Customer. Any actual Activated quantity of a Service exceeding the subscribed quantity for the Service is defined as Oversubscription usage.

The unit price for each unit of oversubscription usage is calculated as the product of the SmartManage-ElasticSubscription-Multiplier and the unit price for the Service, each as set forth in the Order Form.

B. Service usage calculation for InterRegion Traffic

InterRegion traffic for SmartConnect-L2PrivateCore-SBW with regional pricing is allowed when the SmartConnect-InterRegion-Multiplier option is present on the Order Form and has been elected by the Customer. InterRegion traffic for a Regional Site is the max of the 99th percentile of the traffic sent to or received from the Regional Site to all other sites that are not in the same Region. InterRegion traffic for a Region is the sum of the InterRegion traffic for all the Regional Sites in that Region. The unit price for InterRegion traffic is calculated as the product of the SmartConnect-InterRegion-Multiplier and the unit price, per the Regional pricing tier, for the Aryaka SmartConnect-PrivateCore-SBW Service, each as set forth in the Order Form.

C. Service usage calculation for Bursting

Bursting for SmartConnect-L2PrivateCore-SBW is allowed when the SmartConnect- Bursting-Multiplier option is present on the Order Form and has been elected by the Customer. Bursting is the actual bandwidth usage above the subscribed bandwidth for SmartConnect-L2PrivateCore-SBW as set forth in the Order Form. Bandwidth Usage for a site is the max of the 99th percentile for the traffic sent or received over Aryaka’s L2 private core. For Regional sites, InterRegion traffic is not accounted for in the Bandwidth Usage. For the Enterprise Flex pricing model, Bursting is calculated for each Region by subtracting the aggregate subscribed bandwidth from the aggregate bandwidth usage for all the sites in that Region. For the Standard pricing model, Bursting is calculated for each site by subtracting the subscribed bandwidth from the bandwidth Usage. The unit price for Bursting is calculated as the product of the SmartConnect-Bursting-Multiplier and the unit price for the Aryaka SmartConnect-L2PrivateCore-SBW service, each as set forth in the Order Form.

Note: For all the above usage-based services, in the case of multiple Order Forms, the unit price and multiplier are determined by the latest Order Form.
