Schedule 2 (Availability SLA)

1.       Introduction to availability SLA

1.1    This Schedule 2 sets out the Provider's availability commitments relating to the Hosted Services.

1.2    In this Schedule 2, "uptime" means the percentage of time during a given period when the Hosted Services are available at the gateway between public internet and the network of the hosting services provider for the Hosted Services.

2.       Availability

2.1    The Provider shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the uptime for the Hosted Services is at least 99% (ninety-nine) during each calendar month.

2.2    The Provider shall be responsible for measuring uptime, and shall do so using the following methodology: (the number of hours in a calendar month – number of hours of downtime in that calendar month) / (the number of hours in a calendar month)  

2.3    Customer may request monthly uptime reports from the Provider.

3.       Service credits

3.1    In respect of each calendar month during which the Hosted Services uptime is less than the commitment specified in Section 2.1, the Customer shall earn service credits in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.

3.2    The service credits earned by the Customer shall be as follows. The service credit for a calendar month will be proportional to the downtime that exceeds the maximum downtime allowed for by uptime percentage in Section 2.1. For example, in a calendar month with 30 days a 99% uptime results in 712.8 hours of uptime and a downtime of 7.2 hours. If the actual downtime is 15 hours, the excess downtime of 7.8 hours (15 –7.2 hours) would result in a 1.094% (7.8 hrs / 712.8 hrs * 100%) service credit off the service fee of that calendar month, or average monthly fee in the case of an annual fee.

3.3    The Provider shall deduct an amount equal to the service credits percentage due to the Customer under this Section 3 from amounts invoiced in respect of the Charges for the Hosted Services that are subject to service credits. All remaining service credits shall be deducted from each invoice issued following the reporting of the relevant failure to meet the uptime commitment, until such time as the service credits are exhausted.

3.4    Service credits shall be the sole remedy of the Customer in relation to any failure by the Provider to meet the uptime guarantee in Section 2.1, except where the failure amounts to a material breach of the Agreement.

3.5    Upon the termination of the Agreement, the Customer's entitlement to service credits shall immediately cease, save that service credits earned by the Customer shall be offset against any amounts invoiced by the Provider in respect of Hosted Services following such termination.

4.       Exceptions

4.1    Downtime caused directly or indirectly by any of the following shall not be considered when calculating whether the Provider has met the uptime guarantee given in Section 2.1:

(a)    a Force Majeure Event;

(b)    a fault or failure of the internet or any public telecommunications network;

(c)    a fault or failure of the Provider's hosting infrastructure services provider, unless such fault or failure constitutes an actionable breach of the contract between the Provider and that company;

(d)    a fault or failure of the Customer's computer systems or networks;

(e)    any breach by the Customer of the Agreement; or

(f)    scheduled maintenance carried out in accordance with the Agreement.
