General Service Level Agreement

Extreme Web Technologies is proud to offer an exceptional level of performance, reliability, and service. That is why we are making commitments to our customers in the form of a Service Level Agreement (SLA) which provides certain rights and remedies regarding the performance of the Extreme Web Technologies network. The Extreme Web Technologies Service Level Agreement (SLA) guarantees our network/equipment reliability and performance. This Service Level Agreement (SLA) applies to customers of Extreme Web Technologies web hosting and other services.

Uptime Guarantee:

Extreme Web Technologies strives to maintain a 99.5% network and server uptime service level. This uptime percentage is a monthly figure, and is calculated solely by Extreme Web Technologies monitoring systems or Extreme Web Technologies authorized/contracted outside monitoring services. If Extreme Web Technologies fails to meet it's 99.5% uptime guarantee, and it is not due to one of the exceptions below, credits will be made available to each client, upon request, on a case by case basis. Extreme Web Technologies does not credit a full month's service for minor downtime. This would not be financially healthy for Extreme Web Technologies, and in turn would only negatively affect the service level Extreme Web Technologies provides to you. In extreme circumstances, Extreme Web Technologies may distribute full month credits, but this is dealt with on a case by case basis. Details on how credit amounts are calculated can be found below.

Exceptions:

Customer shall not receive any credits under this SLA in connection with any failure or deficiency of the Extreme Web Technologies network caused by or associated with:

  • Circumstances beyond reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of any governmental body, war, insurrection, sabotage, embargo, "Acts of God" (ie.fire, flood, earthquake, tornado, etc), strike or other labor disturbance, interruption of or delay in transportation, unavailability of or interruption or delay in telecommunications or third party services, failure of third party software or inability to obtain raw materials, supplies, or power used in or equipment needed for provision of the Service Level Agreement

Connectivity:

An "outage” is defined as an instance in which Client is unable to transmit and receive IP packets due to a Extreme Web Technologies service failure for more than 15 consecutive minutes, excluding service failures relating to Extreme Web Technologies scheduled maintenance and upgrades. The Extreme Web Technologies network does not include client premises equipment or any Telco access facilities connecting Client's premises to such infrastructure. 

Measurement:

Extreme Web Technologies will periodically (on average every 10 minutes) monitor Extreme Web Technologies network and server availability using software and hardware components capable of measuring application traffic and responses. Client acknowledges that such measurements may not measure the exact path traversed by Client's internet connection, and that such measurements constitute measurements across the Extreme Web Technologies network but not other networks to which Client may connect.

Hardware Failure:

Extreme Web Technologies stands behind all equipment on our network. Faulty hardware is rare, but cannot be predicted nor avoided. Extreme Web Technologies utilizes only name brand hardware of the highest quality and perfomance. Extreme Web Technologies will replace all faulty hardware affecting performance levels of equipment within 48 hours, which includes hardware issues that cause server crashes or speed issues. Hardware failure resulting in complete network/server outage/downtime will be corrected within two hours of problem identification. Router failure is an exception to this SLA guarantee, and may require on-site engineers or backbone provider emergency personnel to correct the problem. 

Credits:

Credit requests must be made on the Extreme Web Technologies web site, by emailing to hello@zesha.tz. Each request in connection with network/server outages/downtime must be received by Extreme Web Technologies within five days of the occurrence.
