The Servstra Service Level Agreement applies to the network and
not an individual server.
Network Availability Commitment
Servstra commits to provide 99.9% availability each month
for your connection within Servstra's network in North America.
Any Customer who experiences availability of the network connection
of below 99.9% in any calendar month may request a one-day Service
Credit for each whole hour of unavailability in such month in
excess of the above minimum commitment. Any customer who experiences
availability of the network connection of below 99.9% in 3 or
more calendar months in a 12-month period, may request to terminate
services with no Termination Liabilities.
Service Credit Specifications
In the event Servstra fails to achieve any Service Level
Commitment, at your request, Servstra will credit your account
in accordance with the applicable remedy set forth above in connection
with such Service Level Commitment and subject to the following:
To be eligible for a Service Credit, you must report the commitment
failure to Servstra within five (5) days of its occurrence
(via e-mail notification to billing@hostworkz.com), and you must
have notified Servstra of any service-affecting conditions
at the time of such failure and have provided Servstra with
all other information reasonably requested in furtherance of troubleshooting
the reported issue.
Requests must identify the Service Level Commitment at issue,
include the trouble ticket number assigned to Customer's report,
and include such other information as Servstra may have reasonably
requested to assist it in verifying the request. Servstra
may reject any Service Credit request that does not provide sufficient
supporting information to allow Servstra to verify the claim.
All requests for Service Credits will be subject to confirmation
by Servstra, and will be applied by Servstra as soon
as possible to a subsequent recurring invoice following approval.
Servstra shall promptly notify Customer of its resolution
of the reported event. Customer must claim any applicable Service
Credits by the 15th day of the month following the month in which
the reported incident was resolved.
Service Credits are calculated based on the contracted monthly
rate for the affected circuit, prorated by the number of days
of credit provided as the remedy for the applicable Service Level
Commitment, based on a 30-day month (e.g., a one-day Service Credit
means the Customer will receive as a credit an amount equal to
1/30 of the applicable recurring monthly charge for the affected
service). The maximum Service Credit to be granted for all failures
within a given month shall not exceed 1/3 (one-third) of the monthly
recurring fees charged by Servstra for the given service
for the month in which the given Service Credit is claimed. Any
excess credits will not carry over into later invoices. Remedies
available hereunder shall only be payable in the form of a Service
Credit to Customer's account. Servstra shall have no obligation
to pay cash to Customer to fulfill any earned Service Credit.
If any event triggers a breach of two or more Service Level Commitments,
Customer shall only receive a Service Credit equal to the highest
applicable Service Credit being requested in connection with the
breached Service Level Commitments.
Customer shall be ineligible for a Service Credit hereunder if
Customer is not in financial good standing with Servstra (i.e.,
current on all billings) at the time of the request.
The remedies set forth herein for each Service Level Commitment
shall be the exclusive remedy available to Customer for Servstra's
failure to achieve such Service Level Commitment. This SLA does
not represent a warranty or guarantee by Servstra that services
will be uninterrupted or fit for any particular purpose or intended
use of any kind, and Servstra shall not be liable for any damages
of any nature or amount as a result of any failure to achieve
any Service Level Commitment, other than the permitted Service
Credits authorized and described hereunder.
Exclusions
This SLA applies to all Dedicated Internet Access service and
related equipment only. Servstra will not be responsible
for, and Service Credits will not be issued in connection with,
any failure by Servstra to meet a Service Level Commitment
by reason of any of the following:
- Any Customer act or omission, including without limitation
any negligence, willful misconduct or misuse of any service
or equipment, which impairs Servstra's ability to provide service.
- Any Servstra employee act carried out during server management.
- Scheduled maintenance on the Servstra network.
- Failure on the part of Customer to timely report the incident
and open a trouble ticket in accordance with this SLA.
- Problems outside of Servstras network (upstream providers,
or clients inbound connection) not effecting 100% loss
to our network.
- Interruptions or failure of individual service. These include
inaccurate configuration, 3rd party software, client abuse or
over utilization of resources, hacked servers, attacks, exploits,
or server hardware failures.
- Downtime caused by Servstra employees whilst carrying out
server administration tasks at the customers request.
Servstra may modify the Service Level Commitments and your remedy
for the failure by Servstra to meet any Service Level Commitment
at any time. Such modifications shall be deemed effective immediately
upon either posting of the modified SLA on the Servstra web site.
