Description
Example
Let's say the Monthly service charge quoted by Service Provider is USD 1,000,000

If the Service Provider misses the MSL for this SLA in any month, then the penalty would be USD 15,000
Likewise all the penalties will be calculated and the "lower-of" total penalties and the At-Risk amount will be penalty im
