Credit to your account shall be YOUR sole and exclusive remedy for any outage related to your service including those caused by gross negligence by Subhosting or its staff.
Restrictions
Credits shall not be provided to YOU in the event that YOU have no service availability resulting from (i) scheduled maintenance, (ii) YOUR behavior or the performance or failure of YOUR equipment, facilities, software, scripts, code, or applications, or (iii) circumstances beyond Subhosting's reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of any governmental body, war, insurrection, sabotage, embargo, fire, flood, strike or other labor disturbance, interruption of or delay in transportation, unavailability of interruption or delay in telecommunications or third party services (including DNS propagation), failure of third party software or hardware or inability to obtain raw materials, supplies, or power used in or equipment needed for provision of YOUR service.
Limitations
On-line problems occur continuously. There might come a time when you cannot access your service or any other service. This is not necessarily due to a failure of the Subhosting Network or hardware. Subhosting's monitoring agents are the sole determinate of the uptime of our service, and not any one client's experience. Managed customers can be affected by outages, being a managed customer does not constitute preferential treatment under this SLA.
