Dedicated Server, Colocation and Cloud Hosting Service Level Agreement



1. Coverage Terms

This Service Level Agreement (SLA) applies to you (“customer”) if you have a current high-availability service or services with Technomax (the “Services”) and your account is current (i.e., in good standing). As used herein, the term “availability” means the percentage of a particular month (based on 24-hour days for the number of days in the subject month) that the customer’s hosted system is available for access by third parties, as measured by Technomax.

2. Service Credits

Subject to Sections 3 and 4 below, if the availability of customer’s services is less than 99.9%, technomx will credit the customer 5% of the monthly fee for each 30 minutes of downtime in excess of 0.05% (up to 30% of customer’s monthly fee for the affected server). PLEASE NOTE: In the 25 years (since 1997) Technomax has been in the hosting industry we have only had one datacenter disaster which resulted from both power grids failing in 2008. That DC was located in (you guessed it, Texas), since then we have our DC located with Simpli Networks witin the Iron Mountain DC in New York. We have maintained our SLA since then at 99.97% uptime. In addition it is possible to receive a credit up to 100% of your services fee on a case-by-case basis depending on any third party failures and their SLA's withus. In the event of downtimes of more than 6 hours we will post results on our website.
