I haven't seen one (at least for a SaaS company) that will compensate for loss of productivity/revenue etc, but something like Slack's SLA[0] seems like it's moving in the right direction. They guarantee a 99.99% uptime (max downtime of 4 min/22 seconds per month) and give 10x credits for any downtime.
Granted, there's probably not many businesses that are losing major revenue because slack's down for half an hour, but it's nice to at least see them acknowledge that 1 minute down deserves more than 1 minute of refunds!
