So, the only mention of SLA in TOS<https://developers.google.com/appengine/terms>is the following:
"Google warrants it will provide the Service in accordance with the applicable SLA" Could someone from AE team clarify where it is specified what applicable SLA means and where it can be applied (aside from features/pricing page<http://www.google.com/enterprise/cloud/appengine/pricing.html>which has no legal base/authority for an business entity defined as "Customer" in TOS as the page is not mentioned anywhere in TOS). I'm just trying to understand what guarantees my company can give to our customers based on AE TOS and SLA (again, if applicable without applying for a Premier account). Thanks a lot, Alex.
