Headline commitments
The Sandbox environment (
sk_test_* keys) is excluded from SLA — it’s there for integration testing, not production traffic.
Credits formula
If monthly production uptime falls below 99.5 %, the Partner is entitled to a credit on the next monthly invoice:
Latency breaches sustained over 4+ rolling 24-hour windows in a Service Month add:
Maximum aggregate credit per Service Month: 25 % of that month’s settlement total.
How uptime is measured
1
External probes
Independent probes hit
https://api.safarapi.com/api/partner/v1/health every minute from at least 3 geographic regions (Casablanca, Frankfurt, Paris).2
2-of-3 quorum
A minute counts as Unavailable only if at least 2 probes report failure within that minute — eliminates single-region transient noise.
3
Server-side latency
p95 latency is measured from the SafarAPI audit log (ingress → response dispatch), not from your probe location — gives you a fair view independent of your network distance to our edge.

Status page
Real-time dashboard and historical SLA reports on
status.safarapi.com
(being provisioned). Until live, SLA reports are sent to approved partners
on request and incidents are notified directly per this SLA.Incident severity and response
During an incident:
- Acknowledged on the status page within MTTA.
- “Identified” update with root cause hypothesis.
- Progress update every 30 minutes until “Resolved”.
- Post-mortem within 5 business days of resolution (Critical and High only).
Support channels
Claiming a credit
Send a written request tobilling@safarapi.com within 30 days of month-end, with:
- the Service Month concerned;
- the measured uptime/latency figures (yours or ours);
- the calculation of the requested credit.
Exclusions
SLA credits do not apply when downtime is caused by:- Scheduled Maintenance (announced 7+ days in advance);
- Force Majeure;
- Partner-side issues (their network, their misuse, expired credentials);
- Sandbox environment;
- Beta features explicitly marked as such.
Obtaining the SLA
The SLA is provided as a signable PDF on request — emailsupport@safarapi.com.
On production approval, the countersigned copy is included automatically in your
compliance bundle.
FAQ
Why 99.5 % and not 99.99 %?
Why 99.5 % and not 99.99 %?
We commit to numbers we will hit consistently while running a single-region active-passive architecture. Active-active multi-region is on the roadmap for Q1 2027 — when it ships, we’ll review the SLA targets upward.
Are credits capped?
Are credits capped?
Yes — at 25 % of the monthly settlement total. Beyond catastrophic outages, the cap is contractual liability scope handled in the Main Agreement, not the SLA.
What counts as a write endpoint?
What counts as a write endpoint?
POST /quotes, POST /bookings, POST /bookings/{number}/cancel, POST /webhooks, POST /webhooks/{id}/test, DELETE /webhooks/{id}. Everything else is read.Do you support 24/7 phone support?
Do you support 24/7 phone support?
Not in v1. Critical security incidents reach our on-call via PagerDuty 24/7. Normal/high-severity tickets are handled in business hours. We can negotiate a 24/7 commercial support tier separately if your contract requires it.
What if your status page is itself down?
What if your status page is itself down?
The status page (UptimeRobot-hosted) is on independent infrastructure from the API. If both are down, that’s a force-majeure-grade event — we’d reach you via email and Slack Connect directly.
