Perfect Ping Service Level Agreement

Perfect Ping will provide Customer with a level of service subject to the terms set forth in this Service Level Agreement (SLA). To the extent that Perfect Ping does not provide the services at the levels set forth in this Service Level Agreement, and Customer is in compliance with all terms and conditions of the Master Services Agreement (including the Acceptable Use Policy), Perfect Ping will credit Customer's account in an amount as provided in this SLA, reflecting percentages of the monthly fees Customer pays to Perfect Ping for the affected services.

Network and Power Uptime

Perfect Ping guarantees 100% Network Uptime and 100% Power Uptime for each month, which consists of the following parts:

  • Public Internet Connectivity - This includes connectivity from the Perfect Ping' network to the outside Internet.
  • Private Network Connectivity - This includes connectivity between the privately routed network within Perfect Ping.
  • Power - This includes power which powers the servers in the Data Center.

Should we fail to meet this goal for a given month, the customer is entitled to an SLA credit as per the applicable row of the chart below.

Exclusions

  • Any failure outside of the Perfect Ping network itself, including bandwidth carrier outages, are not eligible for SLA credit.
  • Scheduled maintenance of Perfect Ping network is not eligible for any form of SLA credit.
  • Only network outages resulting in 100% packet loss are eligible for SLA credit.

Hardware SLA

Hardware Replacement

Perfect Ping will replace any server hardware component such as, but not limited to, hard drives, memory, or processors substantially affecting the performance of the Services, after having been determined by Perfect Ping in its reasonable discretion to require replacement. Please note that the SLA is valid only after the problem has been confirmed to be faulty hardware.

ServiceResolution TimeSLA Credit

Faulty hardware qualifies for the Hardware SLA only when 4 hours have passed from the time that a Perfect Ping Technician has officially diagnosed the problem as being caused by faulty hardware. Until diagnosis is confirmed, the Hardware SLA is inactive.

General Terms

Requesting SLA Credits

Perfect Ping will have no obligation to issue any SLA Credit unless requested to do so by Customer pursuant to the terms and conditions of this SLA. Customer must submit all requests for SLA Credit via the support portal and must provide all information reasonably requested by Perfect Ping. Customer must submit a complete and valid request for SLA Credit no later than seven days following the event giving rise to the claimed SLA Credit.

All SLA claims must be made with the sales department, and will be issued as account credits. SLA credits may take up to 15 days to authorize, process, and post to the Customer account.

Limits on SLA Credit

SLA credits may not exceed the total monthly fees paid by Customer for the affected Services. Perfect Ping offers SLA credits for use in future billing cycles only and will not be applied to past due balances. SLA credits are non-transferrable in any way. SLA credits may not be exchanged for currency of any kind.

SLA Credits to Hourly Billed Accounts

For the purpose of calculating an SLA credit for an account where billing is performed in arrears, Customer will receive credit after the billing cycle has been completed in order to allow Perfect Ping to calculate the SLA credit.

Any Customer account not in good standing on payments is not eligible for SLA credit. Any Customer account which has had been out of good standing on payments 3 times or more within 12 months prior to the outage is not eligible for SLA credits. Additionally, any Service disconnected due to violation of the AUP/TOS is not eligible for SLA credit.

Eligibility Not Cumulative

Customer's eligibility to receive credit or a refund is not cumulative, but is limited to one credit or refund per incident. For example claiming SLA credit on both uplink downtime, as well as power downtime during the same incident will not entitle Customer to two SLA credits for the same incident. Perfect Ping will apply credits or refunds based on the predominant issue with the problem, as determined in Perfect Ping' reasonable discretion, and will issue the larger of two credits should two equally important issues occur in the same incident.

Exclusions

In no way does the Perfect Ping SLA include software of any sort. Operating system reloads do not qualify in any way for an SLA credit. Acts of God, including weather, natural disaster, or any other disaster outside of the control of Perfect Ping are not eligible for SLA credit.

This SLA is subject to change or revision without notice.
