We guarantee that the network will be available

for every 60 minutes of downtime, up to
100% of the customer's monthly fee.
Network uptime includes
functioning of all network infrastructure
including routers, switches and cabling,
but does not include services, deamons,
software running on your server, or hardware

the network itself will be up and available.
In situations where a client runs a cluster
or redudant server they can take advantage
of the 100% uptime guarantee be eliminating
a single point of failure in their hardware.
We are not responsible
for outages or circumstances beyond our

software updates, hardware upgrades or replacement)

of our network

within 2 hours of problem identification.
This guarantee of 2 hours does not include
additional actions such as software installations,
OS reinstalling, or other data or backup
services. In the event that it takes us
more than 2 hours to replace faulty hardware,

Hardware is defined as
the Processor(s), RAM, hard disk(s), motherboard,
NIC card and other related hardware included
under the server lease.
Occasionally servers and systems must be
brought down for routine maintenance and
upgrades to ensure that your site will perform
optimally. However, we strive to keep such
service interruptions to a minimum, and,
when possible, give you advance notice of
scheduled any maintenance. Scheduled service
outages do not qualify for this guarantee!
Additionally, this guarantee
is your remedy for any unscheduled downtime
of more than limits outlined above. Downtime
must be confirmed by a staff member in our
support system. Maximum credit given will
not exceed the amount of the charge for
the customer service with us. The credit
will be applied to your invoice on your
next due date. Downtime is measured from
the time the customer records such failure
in the support ticket system and until a
resolution is provided in that ticket.
