SlimeServers Service Level Agreement (SLA)
SlimeServers shall use all reasonable commercial efforts, being no less than accepted industrial standards in this regard to ensure that your SlimeServers service is available to you (the Client) 99.99% of the time in any given calendar month.

If not, you may be eligible for Client Service Credits described below.

Definitions. The following definitions shall apply to the SlimeServers SLA.

"Client" shall be defined as an SlimeServers customer.

"Client Service" shall be defined as an individual hosting product purchased by an SlimeServers client.

"Server" shall be defined as a computer system on which a Client Service resides.

"Monthly Uptime Percentage" means the total number of minutes in the calendar month minus the number of minutes of Downtime suffered from all Downtime Periods in the calendar month, divided by the total number of minutes in the calendar month.

"Downtime" means, for a Server, that the IP address the Client Service is attached to does not respond to ping tests or TCP port tests from other systems in the SlimeServers network. This indicates the Client Service is unreachable.

"Emergency Downtime" means situations where SlimeServers must temporarily induce downtime on a Server for events such as hardware failure, vulnerability repairs, and other such situations requiring the immediate shutdown of the system. Emergency Downtime is not considered Downtime for purposes relating to the SlimeServers SLA.

"Scheduled Downtime" refers to situations where SlimeServers will inform you of periods of downtime three (24-48hours) prior to the application of the Downtime. Scheduled Downtime is not considered Downtime for purposes relating to the SlimeServers SLA. You will be informed through the web-based panel associated with your Client Service.

"Client Service Credits" will be provided according to the following schedule:
One-week credit: Includes seven (7) days of services added to the end of your billing cycle, at no charge, if your Monthly Uptime Percentage for any given calendar month is between 99.99% and 98.0%.
Two-week credit: Includes fourteen (14) days of services added to the end of your billing cycle, at no charge, if your Monthly Uptime Percentage for any given calendar month is between 98.0% and 95.0%.
Four-week credit: Includes twenty-eight (28) days of services added to the end of your billing cycle, at no charge, if your Monthly Uptime Percentage for any given calendar month is below 95%.
Customer Must Request Credit. In order to receive any Client Service Credits described above, you must notify SlimeServers by email or otherwise in writing within thirty (30) days from the time you become eligible to receive a Client Service Credit.

Maximum Client Service Credit. The aggregated maximum number of Client Service Credits you can claim for any Downtime periods that occur in a single calendar month shall not exceed twenty-eight (28) days of services added to the end of your billing cycle.

Monetary Credit. Client Service Credits may not be exchanged for, or converted to, monetary compensation in any situation. No exceptions apply.
