Service Level Agreement (SLA)

Uptime Guarantee
www.domainPlanet.ca endeavors to have the content of customer’s website available for http access by third parties 99.9% of the time ("website availability"), in a given month, excluding the restrictions below. Website unavailability (downtime) exists when third parties are unable to transmit and receive http data and www.domainPlanet.ca records such failure within its monitoring systems. Website unavailability (downtime) is measured from the time the trouble ticket is opened by a customer to the time the server is once again able to transmit and receive http data.

Should a customer’s website become unavailable for a cumulative period up to one hour in any one calendar month, Customer may be eligible to receive a credit equivalent to one day of Customer’s pro-rated recurring monthly fees for that month.

Customers may receive an additional refund of one day of the pro-rated recurring monthly fees for each additional hour, or portion thereof, of website unavailability. All credit calculations will be based on website unavailability in one-hour increments. The above agreement does not cover outages caused by equipment and/or events not under the direct control of www.domainPlanet.ca or caused by individuals not directly employed by www.domainPlanet.ca. This Service Level Agreement does not cover outages due to scheduled or emergency network and/or facility maintenance, which will be broadcast to all customers in advance.

Any and all credit(s) to a customers account will not exceed 50% of the customer’s recurring monthly fees for the month in which the credit is issued.
