This subsection (Service Credits) sets forth the terms regarding the grant to You of service credits (“Service Credits”)
arising from Oracle’s failure to meet a Service Commitment set forth in this section (Service Level Agreements) with
respect to an applicable Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Category 7 Service. The grant of these Service Credits are
YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND ORACLE'S ENTIRE LIABILITY when Oracle has not met a Service
Commitment under this section (Service Level Agreements). Service Credits will only be provided for the specific
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Category 7 Service for which the applicable Service Commitment has not been met.
Oracle will calculate Service Credits as a percentage of the net fees paid by You for the quantity of the relevant Non-
Compliant Service actually used during a Measured Period (as defined below), with the (i) percentage amount (the
“Service Credit Percentage”) as set forth in the Service Commitment specified for such Service in this section
(Service Level Agreements), and (ii) the fees and usage based on the rates and metric set forth for such Service in
Your order (pro-rated as necessary). A “Measured Period” is a calendar month (or hourly period for an Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure Category 7 Service with a Service Commitment that is hourly based), during which You have deployed
the applicable Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Category 7 Service pursuant to the application of Oracle Monthly or Annual
Universal Credits for PaaS and IaaS or pursuant to an Oracle Pay as You Go (PAYG) model (as such terms are
described in the Oracle PaaS and IaaS Universal Credits Service Descriptions document or in Your order, as
applicable).
With respect to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Category 7 Services purchased under a Pay as You Go model, any
Service Credits will be added to Your Pay as You Go balance in the calendar month following Oracle’s approval of
Your claim. You must use those Service Credits within the calendar month in which the Service Credits are granted.
Any unused Service Credits will expire at the end of the calendar month in which the Service Credits are granted
and You may not carry those Service Credits over to another month.
With respect to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Category 7 Services purchased pursuant to Oracle Monthly Universal
Credits for PaaS and IaaS, any Service Credits will be added to Your Universal Credit balance in the monthly credit
period (as defined in Your order for such Services) following Oracle’s approval of Your claim. You must use those
Service Credits within the monthly credit period in which the Service Credits are granted. Any unused Service Credits
will expire at the end of the monthly credit period in which the Service Credits are granted and You may not carry
those Service Credits over to another monthly credit period.
With respect to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Category 7 Services purchased pursuant to Oracle Annual Universal
Credits for PaaS and IaaS, any Service Credits will be added to Your Universal Credits balance in the calendar
month following Oracle’s approval of Your claim. You must use those Service Credits within the annual credit period
(as defined in Your order for such Services) in which the Service Credits are granted. Any unused Service Credits
will expire at the end of the annual credit period in which the Service Credits are granted and You may not carry
those Service Credits over to another annual credit period.
2.7.1.3 Claims
In order to be considered to receive Service Credits, You must file a claim with Oracle in accordance with the terms
listed in this subsection. You must submit the claim either through the “My Oracle Support” portal or by contacting
Your customer success manager and You must include all of the information required for Oracle to validate the claim,
including but not limited to:
(i) a detailed description of the circumstances for Your claim that the applicable Oracle Cloud

Oracle offers several different service level agreements as defined in this section (Service Level Agreements). In
the event an issue were to trigger multiple instances where a Service Commitment (as defined below in each
subsection) for a particular Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Category 7 Service is not met, Oracle will resolve the issue
in accordance with the least restrictive service level agreement and You may receive Service Credits only for the
service level agreement listed under the “Resolution order” column in the table below. Service level agreements
range from least restrictive (data plane) to more restrictive (control plane) to most restrictive (performance).
Notwithstanding the provisions of this section (Service Level Agreements), if Your order with Oracle, or the Service
Specifications applicable to Your order for a particular Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Category 7 Service, provides a
right to receive a higher amount of Service Credits, then You may receive the Service Credits under the provision
which provides for the highest amount of Service Credits to You, but You may not recover Service Credits under
multiple provisions for the same event.
In addition, if the failure to meet the Service Commitment applicable to an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Category 7 is
impacted by factors other than those used in Oracle’s calculation, then Oracle may issue Service Credits for the
applicable Service considering such factors at Oracle’s discretion.

10.1 Definitions
If during a WAF Period, a Layer 7 DDoS attack on Your deployed WAF Services results in You incurring Excess
Consumption, then You may seek to receive WAF Service Credits in accordance with the following criteria:
During the DDoS Layer 7 attack, You must submit a Service Request into the “My Oracle Support” portal,
selecting the WAF Services and the applicable DDoS component, to engage a DDoS Mitigation Specialist.
You must comply with, and implement, all of the DDoS Mitigation Specialist’s recommendations, which
may include providing the DDoS Mitigation Specialist with control of Your WAF Service deployment during
the WAF Period.
If the DDoS Mitigation Specialist advises You that his/her continued efforts are unlikely to prevent further
Excess Consumption, then You may submit a claim for WAF Service Credits either through the “My Oracle
Support” portal or by contacting Your Oracle customer success manager. Your claim must include all the
following information:
o a detailed description of the circumstances for Your claim;
o information regarding the time and duration of the Layer 7 DDoS attack that caused the Excess
Consumption;
o the name(s) of the Impacted Services that had Excess Consumption;
o the Region in which the applicable Impacted Service(s) had Excess Consumption;
o the names of the relevant OCIDs, including tenancy OCID, compartment(s) OCID, and affected
resource OCID(s);
o a description of Your attempts to resolve the issue at the time of occurrence, including information
on Your implementation of recommendations received from the DDoS Mitigation Specialist; and
o relevant documentation/logs (such as audit console and OS events/logs) that can confirm that the
applicable Impacted Service(s) experienced Excess Consumption.
After reviewing Your claim, if the Service Credit Requests Validation Team determines that the incident
was a valid Layer 7 DDoS attack and that the underlying Impacted Services automatically scaled to absorb
the attack, Oracle will provide You with WAF Service Credits for any Measured Excess Consumption
incurred due to such attack.
If You have purchased the WAF Services under a Monthly Universal Credit or Annual Universal Credit
model (as described in the Oracle PaaS and IaaS Universal Credits Service Descriptions document), then
WAF Service Credits may only be applied towards Your next invoice for such Monthly or Annual Universal
Credits following the issuance of such credits. Alternatively, if You purchased the WAF Services under a
consumption model (such as Pay as You Go, as described in the Oracle PaaS and IaaS Universal Credits
Service Descriptions document), then the WAF Service Credits may only be applied towards Your next
invoice for Cloud Service fees You owe for WAF Services following the issuance of such credits. Other
than the foregoing, WAF Service Credits may not be used to acquire any Oracle products or services.
The provision of WAF Service Credits are YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND ORACLE’S ENTIRE
LIABILITY for any Excess Consumption due to a Layer 7 DDoS attack.
If as a result of a Layer 7 DDoS attack You would be entitled to receive both Service Credits for the WAF
Services or any Impacted Service under Section 2.7 above and WAF Service Credits under this Section
10, You will only receive WAF Service Credits under this Section 10.
10.3 Exclusions
WAF Service Credit are not granted for, and the terms of this Section 10 do not apply to:
Government SKUs,
