"Agreement") is made between 77inc (hereinafter referred to as
"77inc") and ___________________________________________ (hereinafter
referred to as "Customer") and shall be effective as of _________ ____, 2003. As
used in this Agreement, "you" or "your" refer to you, the Customer and "we",
"our" or "us", 77inc. Both 77inc and Customer are referred to
collectively as the "Parties". By signing this Agreement you acknowledge that
you have read, understand, and agree to our terms.
General
77inc strives to provide the best quality of
service to our customers. We guarantee that our internal network connectivity,
server programs, and hardware will be up and working at least 99.9% or better
in any given month. This means you should not experience a downtime of more than
43 minutes in any given month counted from the first day of every month. This
uptime guarantee excludes any scheduled maintenance work that may,
unfortunately, force the downtime for a period of time until the maintenance
work is done. We are proud to offer you a service credit of 5% of your hosting
fee for that month for any 0.2% (or 1 hour 26 minutes in any given month
starting from the first month) of downtime beyond our uptime guarantee of 99.9%.
Shared Hosting Customers
77inc shall do a regular daily and
weekly backup for our customer's data into our backup server. On the rare event
of hardware failure and we can not provide the most recent backup to you, you
are entitled to an immediate refund equaling to your hosting period, but no more
than 3 months, with us.
Dedicated Server Customers
Unless otherwise agreed, 77inc
does not provide data backup service to our dedicated server customers. Customer
is responsible for customer’s own data backup and will not hold 77inc
reliable in the event customer’s data is lost, even in the event of a
hardware/power problem resulting in such data lost. In the event of a hardware
problem, once the problem has been identified, 77inc will replace the
failed hardware and restore service within 12 hours.
Collocation Customers
Unless otherwise agreed, 77inc does
not provide data backup service to our collocation customers. Customer is
responsible for customer’s own data backup and will not hold 77inc
reliable in the event customer’s data is lost, even in the even of a power
problem. In the case of a hardware problem on customer’s equipments/servers,
77inc will assist customers on detecting and replacing the failed
hardware. Customers will be provided with a written quote for any labor fees to
perform such remote hand/eye to customers. Customer is responsible to provide
all hardware replacements.
- This SLA is version 2.0, dated on 02/12/2003
- We are only responsible to keep and maintain our internal network
connectivity. By internal network we mean the data center and all of its
connectivity from its uplink providers going into the data center. We shall not
be held responsible for any connectivity problems caused in other networks
outside of our internal network not within our control. We define continuous
packet losses originating inside our internal network of more than 50% for over
3 hours as a loss of connectivity equal to 0.1% of downtime. We also define
sporadic packet losses originating inside our internal network of more than 50%
sporadically for duration of 12 hour as a loss of connectivity equal to 0.1% of
downtime. It is your duty to provide us with a proof of any loss of connectivity
and/or other problems inside of our network.
- Assuming that you have configured everything correctly, at the very least,
we guarantee the working of our DNS Servers, Web Servers, SQL Servers, and Mail
Servers when such services are provided to customers.
- By hardware we mean all hardware related to the optimal performance of our
network connectivity (routers, switches, firewalls, etc) and of our server
(physical hardware such as hard drives, CPU, etc).
- At our sole discretion, scheduled maintenance should be announced at least
24 hours before the maintenance work will be executed. Under extreme emergency
(such as DOS attack, security breach, and et cetera), we may perform a scheduled
maintenance without prior announcement. In this case, the downtime period should
be counted only until we perform such emergency maintenance.
- In order for you and us to keep track of this you will need to send your
support request through our support ticket only. Service credit refund is up to
100% of your monthly fee. It is your responsibility to ask for a service refund.
- The most recent backup should be the backup done on the previous day before
the data backup is requested.
