Service Level Agreement (“SLA” and Service Offerings):

Service Offerings.  We may change or discontinue any of the Service Offerings or change or remove features of the Service Offerings at any time without notice.
Service Level Agreement.  Our current Service Level Agreement (SLA) is as follows:

  1. ALL SERVICES ARE UNMANAGED. Our 24 hour on site staff will respond to tickets regarding server hardware and service disruption issues only.  Clients are required to manage their own data backups and  all software aspects of the server including operating system configuration beyond a base OS install.</p>
  2. We strive to and anticipate that our Service will be available to you most of the time.
  3. A Service disruption occurs when your server is completely offline for more than 15 minutes due to an unplanned fault in our networking or power infrastructure.
  4. Disruptions caused by the hardware or software of the server itself are not covered by this SLA.
  5. Disruptions caused by planned or unplanned maintenance are not covered by this SLA.
  6. Disruptions caused as a result of actions taken by our abuse/security department are not covered under this SLA.
  7. In the event that there is an unplanned Service disruption, you may open a support ticket and request an Account credit to be issued for a prorated amount of your monthly invoice amount equal to the time of the Service disruption.  For example: If you pay $60 per month for your server and it is unavailable for 24 hours (during a 30 day month) due to an unplanned service outage, you may request an account credit  for $2.  You understand that this is your sole remedy for an unplanned service outage.
