Service Availability Commitment Scope:

HostOnNet's Service Availability Commitment is to limit Customer's Server unavailability to less than one consecutive hour in any calendar month.

Scheduled Maintenance Scope: Scheduled Maintenance shall mean both (1) any maintenance in the HostOnNet data center at which Customer's Server is located (a) of which Customer is notified 48 hours in advance, and (b) that is performed during a standard maintenance window on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 AM to 6 AM local time of the HostOnNet data center at which Customer's Server is located and (2) any maintenance of Customer's Server (a) of which Customer is notified 48 hours in advance, and (b) that is performed during a standard maintenance window Monday through Thursday 2 AM to 6 AM Eastern Time. Notice of Scheduled Maintenance will be provided to Customer's designated point of contact by a method elected by HostOnNet (telephone, email, fax or pager).

Service Availability Commitment Process: If Customer opens a trouble ticket with HostOnNet Customer Support within 5 days of Customer's failure to access Customer's Server and HostOnNet determines in its reasonable commercial judgment that the Server is unavailable due to a Server outage caused solely by the items of the service managed exclusively by HostOnNet that outage will be used to calculate Server unavailability for the remedies provided below. A Server shall be deemed to be unavailable if the server is not responding to HTTP requests issued by HostOnNet's monitoring software. HostOnNet's records and data shall be the basis for all service availability calculations and determinations. Scheduled maintenance shall not be deemed to be Server unavailability. Unavailability of Customer's Server due to Customer's web content or application programming, acts of Customer or its agents, network unavailability outside of the HostOnNet Network or events of Force Majeure shall not be deemed Server unavailability for the purpose of this Commitment.

Service Availability Commitment Remedy: If HostOnNet determines in its reasonable commercial judgment that Customer's Server was unavailable for one or more (but fewer than four) consecutive hours during a calendar month, HostOnNet, upon Customer's request, will credit Customer's account for such month the pro-rated charges for one day's service for that server. Or if HostOnNet so determines that the Server was unavailable for four (4) or more consecutive hours during any calendar month, HostOnNet, upon Customer's request, will credit Customer's account for such month for the pro-rated charges for one week's Monthly Charges for that server. Credits will not apply to data transfer charges or to charges for services other than the Monthly Charge for the server for which this Commitment was not met. Customer's account shall not be credited more than once per month under this Service Availability Commitment.

Server Install Guarantee

Server Install Guarantee Scope: HostOnNet's Server Install Guarantee is to have installation of Customer's Server completed within 3 business days for Shared Services.

Server Install Guarantee Process: These dates shall be counted from the date HostOnNet has received all of the following from Customer: signed Service Agreement, completed Customer Information Form, Completed Configuration Form, and (if requested by HostOnNet) completed credit application. The service is deemed to be installed when HostOnNet is prepared to provide to Customer password and login information, enabling installation of Customer's data files on the designated server. The Server Install Guarantee is not available if installation delay is attributable to Customer equipment, acts or omissions of Customer, its employees or agents, Customer not passing HostOnNet's credit check, or reasons of Force Majeure (as defined in the applicable service agreement).

Server Install Guarantee Remedy: Upon receiving from HostOnNet notice that HostOnNet is prepared to provide Customer with password and login information for Customer's server, Customer shall have ten (10) days within which to contact Customer's installation engineer if Customer believes HostOnNet has failed to meet the Server Install Guarantee. If Customer contacts HostOnNet within such ten (10) day period and if HostOnNet determines in its reasonable commercial judgment that HostOnNet has failed to meet this Server Install Guarantee, Customer's account shall be credited 50% of HostOnNet's standard Install Fee for the server with respect to which this Guarantee has not been met.
