Service Level Agreement
(SLA)

Hybricom, Inc. Service Level Agreement (SLA):

99.9% monthly network uptime guarantee

2 hour hardware failure response time

Based on a 30 day month and 24 hours per day.

Network commitment
The Hybricom, Inc. network will be available 99.9% of the time 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Any individual or sum of unscheduled outages exceeding 43.2 minutes per month as measured by Hybricom, Inc. will constitute a violation.

Hardware commitment
Available for managed servers only. In the case of a hardware problem with your managed server (e.g. hard disk failure, memory, CPU power supply.) we hold spare componenents within the data center facilities. In most cases we are able to replace faulty components or provision a replacement server within 2 hours. The time determined to bring service online depends on data migration or restoration if needed and the managed package used by client. Example: A "High Availability" managed package has a quicker recovery time than a single node managed server in the event of a hard drive failure.

We will replace failed hardware components but we are not liable for the loss of data that results from a hardware failure. Hybricom, Inc. has backup options available to ensure data can be restored to the date of the latest backup. We offer a credit for hardware faults based upon the time the server was unavailable to the time the hardware was replaced. This doesn't include time to restore data.

Credits
A credit request must be submitted to billing@hybricom.com. A credit is added to your account with the amount determined by SLA and will be applied to the next generated invoice.

A service interruption must not be a result of the following circumstances in order to receive a credit.(Exclusions)
Circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Hybricom, Inc, including, without limitation, acts of any governmental body, war, insurrection, sabotage, terrorism, armed conflict, embargo, fire, flood, strike or other labor 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, e-commerce software, payment gateways, statistics or free scripts) or inability to obtain raw materials, supplies, or power used in or equipment needed for provision of this SLA;
