Service Level Agreement

 1.2     The Service Level Agreement covers virtual server and network availability. The network     is considered available when the majority of the Internet is accessible. We have multiple     Tier-1 network connections to minimise the risk of third party failures causing major network outages, though their may be brief pauses while the Internet re-routes traffic.

1.4     If there are multiple down times in the same service period, the time is added together.     e.g. 2 down times each lasting 2 minutes each would count as 4 minutes of downtime in a     month giving credit of 5%. Should the customer render the server inoperable due to overload, or software configuration etc. this is not covered by the SLA.
