SLA Terms

• Servers Availability: iTechnoLab will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Servers available 99.5% of the time in a given calendar month (the “Service Commitment”). In the event Servers is unavailable when the server does not respond, measured from the time iTechnoLab acknowledges the server blackout to the time when the service is restored. Should server availability drop under 99.5% under the terms of this SLA, iTechnoLab will credit client 5% of the Recurring Charges for the next Payment Cycle. “A credit shall not be payable unless you request it within 40 days of the end of the calendar month in respect of which the Uptime Service Level was not met.”
• Monitoring.  To verify that the server is available, the Company will ping the HTTP service on the server by retrieving HTTP headers every 5 minutes with a 30-second threshold. If an HTTP service does not respond, the server is considered non-operational and is automatically rebooted. If rebooting the server does not solve the problem, it is immediately escalated to the Support Center.
• Network Availability: Network availability is defined as the AWS network’s ability to pass incoming and outgoing TCP/IP traffic. A server’s unavailability caused by network unavailability is not included in server uptime. Interruptions of service due to problems on the backbone or on the Customer’s portion of the network are beyond the Company’s control and are not included in uptime calculations. Interruptions of service caused by denial of service or similar attacks are beyond the Company’s control and are not included in uptime calculations.
• Scheduled Maintenance: To guarantee optimal performance of the servers, the Company will perform maintenance on the servers on a routine basis. Such maintenance often requires taking Company servers off-line. Company reserves two hours of server unavailability per month for maintenance purposes. This server unavailability is not included in server uptime calculations. The maintenance typically is performed during off-peak hours. Company provides Customer with advance notice of maintenance whenever possible.
• Data Retention: THE COMPANY SHALL NOT RETAIN ANY OF CUSTOMER’S DATA AFTER ACCOUNT TERMINATION. ALL DATA IS DELETED (A) FROM THE SERVERS AT THE TIME THE ACCOUNT IS TERMINATED AND (B) FROM BACK-UPS DURING SCHEDULED BACK-UP ROTATION.
