6. Network SLA Exclusions

Many possible situations are completely beyond the control of URSANet, and therefore are not in the scope of this SLA. These situations include:

i. cPanel Issues

If you choose to run cPanel and Web Host Manager on your Dedicated Server, the default install will be configured for automatic updates of cPanel related software. On occasion, one of these automatic updates could adversely affect all or part of the cPanel related software on your server. URSANet will do whatever is necessary to fix any cPanel related problems, but cannot guarantee a resolution time.

ii. Malicious Attacks

If a third party not associated with URSANet initiates a “Denial of Service”or other form of disabling attack against your Dedicated Server or major portions of our network, URSANet will do everything in its power to stop the attack, but cannot guarantee a resolution time.

iii. Software Maintenance

An important part of managing a dedicated server is keeping the software up to date. If you choose to have URSANet manage your server, occasional software updates will be required to address security or performance issues. Usually you will experience little or no downtime in these situations, but we cannot guarantee a specific amount of time in all situations.

iv. Hardware Maintenance

On rare occasions, the hardware in your Dedicated Server may need maintenance or replacement. URSANet will do everything possible to minimize any downtime in these situations per our hardware replacement SLA. Any downtime incurred as a result of this maintenance will not be counted towards our network SLA.

Occasionally network maintenance will be required. URSANet will do everything possible to minimize and avoid downtime during this maintenance. You will receive prior notification of upcoming maintenance at the email address we have on file. Scheduled maintenance periods are not eligible for SLA credits.

vi. Compensation

1. VPS / Web Hosting / Email Hosting

URSANet guarantees network availability for our public network to be 99.9%. In the event that our network does not experience 99.9% network uptime, URSANet will credit customer 1 time of downtime occurred, beyond guaranteed period. Upon URSANet verification that the actual Service availability is below the Committed Uptime Availability, URSANet will issue a “Service Credit” to customer. This service credit compensation will only be valid when complete the whole calendar year of service contract.

2. Dedicated Server / Colocation Server

URSANet guarantees network availability for our public network to be 99%. In the event that our network does not experience 99% network uptime, URSANet will credit customer 1 time of downtime occurred, beyond guaranteed period. Upon URSANet verification that the actual Service availability is below the Committed Uptime Availability, URSANet will issue a “Service Credit” to customer. This service credit compensation will only be valid when complete the whole calendar year of service contract. For example, the network downtime happened to be 10 hours per year, the calculation as follow:
Formula:
(10 Hours 8.76 Hours) x Service Fee Per Hour
8.76 hours is 0.1% of hours per year, service fee is 8760 hours in a year.
Service Fee Per Hour: (Service Fee Per Year) / 8760 Hours
