Service Availability
OzHosting.com Pty Ltd’s objective is to have Service Availability for Services covered by this SLA of at least 99.9%. Service Availability is defined as the percentage of time Services are available to the Customer during the course of a month. Service Availability is calculated in accordance with the following formula:
Service Availability for Month = ( (T – D) x 100 ) / T
Where:
T is the total number of minutes in the Month; and
D is Downtime.
Downtime means any interruption to availability of Services which exceeds 90 seconds, but does not include interruptions resulting from:
(a) planned outages for scheduled maintenance;
(b) network outages caused by other carriers;
(c) Force Majeure (as defined in the Standard Terms and Conditions);
(d) Any other circumstances outside the reasonable control of OzHosting.com Pty Ltd, including without limitation interruption of or delay in transportation, unavailability of or interruption or delay in telecommunications or third party services, virus attacks or hackers, failure of third party software (including, without limitation, ecommerce software, payment gateways, chat, statistics or free scripts) or inability to obtain raw materials, supplies, or power used in or equipment needed for provision of this SLA;
(e) Any acts or omissions of Customer (or acts or omissions of others engaged or authorized by Customer), including, without limitation, custom scripting or coding, any negligence, willful misconduct, or use of the Services in breach of OzHosting.com Pty Ltd Standard Terms and Conditions and/or Acceptable Use Policy;
OzHosting.com Pty Ltd measure Service Availability at the point (Service Delivery Point) where the Internet interfaces with the OzHosting.com Pty Ltd router within the OzHosting.com data centre through which the Services are provided.
Service Availability is determined primarily through the OzHosting fault ticketing system which operates through the Control Panel. This system logs faults and issues fault tickets when a Customer notifies OzHosting.com Pty Ltd of the fault through the Control Panel.
