RPM | Service Level Agreement

Service Level Agreement

Unless otherwise stated within your contract, this is our standard Service Level Agreement as of January 1st 2007.

2 - Service Level Agreement

2-1 All services shall be considered separately. Non-recurring charges for items and services such as transit overages are excluded. For the purposes of downtime calculation the calendar month is the period from the 1st of the month to the last day (31st/30th/29th/28th) of the month in which the fault occurred.

2-2 RPM Hosting Ltd will provide a service to the levels outlined below on the services directly controlled by RPM Hosting Ltd, unless its failure is due to reasons of Force Majeure or other circumstances beyond RPM Hosting Ltd reasonable control.

2-3 RPM Hosting Ltd's aim is to maintain 100% service availability. The services provided by us will meet or exceed the standards laid out below; this does not cover effects that may arise from the Customers equipment being inadequate, faulty, or improperly configured. When RPM Hosting Ltd fails to maintain the criteria in 2-4, and 2-5 below, credits will be made in accordance with following sections of this document. This excludes scheduled maintenance time, and other exceptional network conditions.

2-4 Packet Loss: Less than 0.3% packet loss, for packets of 1500 bytes, that do not exceed the limitations of the Customers connection.

2-5 Uptime: 99.5% Uptime, the service shall be available and functional within the parameters laid out below and subject to the caveats below for at least 99.5% of time during the calendar month. For any downtime over this in a calendar month the Customers account will be credited a free days service for every day or part day that the cumulative elapsed downtime during the month amounts to in excess of that permitted by the above uptime commitment. This is subject to it not being scheduled maintenance, 2-6 below.

2-6 Scheduled Maintenance shall mean any maintenance to RPM Hosting Ltd equipment to which a Customer is connected, or which may affect the Customers service, of which the Customer is notified forty-eight (48) hours in advance, and that is performed during a period of not more than four (4) hours, attempts will be made to perform at non-peak services times. Notification will be provided on the website, or if the Customer specifies the Customer can instead be contacted by e-mail. Details will also normally be made available on the RPM Hosting Ltd website with more than 48 hours notice. Scheduled maintenance shall not count against the 99.5% uptime.

2-7 Fault Notification: If RPM Hosting Ltd fails to provide the level of service outlined above, upon receipt of notification by the Customer, and later confirmation of the fault by RPM Hosting Ltd, and confirmation that the fault is not due to the Customers equipment. For any downtime over the uptime commitment (2-5 above) in a calendar month the Customers account will be credited a free days service for every day or part day that the cumulative elapsed downtime during the month amounts to in excess of that permitted by the above uptime commitment. The Customer may obtain no more than one days credit per day or par thereof of cumulative downtime, irrespective of how long for and often during the day RPM Hosting Ltd failed to meet its service agreement. Credits granted in by 2-7 may only be granted subject to credits for the fault not already having been granted due to 2-5 above. Once RPM Hosting Ltd is notified of the fault, RPM Hosting Ltd will be granted 28 days to remedy the situation.
