Kube Six Service Level Agreement

 

Updated 12/01/2012

 

Coverage

This Service Level Agreement (SLA) applies to you (“customer”) if you have ordered any of the dedicated servers, colocation, Small Business Web Hosting, Business Pro Web Hosting, or VPS services from KUBE SIX (the “Services”) and your account is current (i.e., not past due) with KUBE SIX. As used herein, the term “Server Availability” means the percentage of a particular month (based on 24-hour days for the number of days in the subject month) that the content of customer’s Web site or Operating System (OS) is available for access by third parties via HTTP, HTTPS, Remote Desktop, Terminal Services and SSH, as measured by KUBE SIX.

 

Goal

KUBE SIX’s goal is to achieve 100% Server and Network Availability for all customers.

 

Remedy

Subject to below, if the Server Availability of customer’s Server is less than 100%, KUBE SIX will issue a credit to customer in accordance with the following schedule, with the credit being calculated on the basis of the monthly service charge for the affected Services:

Server Availability Credit Percentage:

99.50 to 100.00% 0% 99.49% to 98.00% 5% 97.99% to 97.00% 10% Less than 96.99% 25%

Circumstances beyond KUBE SIX’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of any governmental body, war, insurrection, sabotage, armed conflict, embargo, fire, flood, strike or other labour disturbance, interruption of or delay in transportation, unavailability of or interruption or delay in telecommunications or third party services, virus attacks or hackers, failure of third party software (including, without limitation, ecommerce software, payment gateways, chat, statistics or free scripts) or inability to obtain raw materials, supplies, or power used in or equipment needed for provision of this SLA;
