Network Uptime
SiteGenie, LLC guarantees network availability of 99.9% in a given

unavailable if there is a 100% packet loss from SiteGenie, LLC to
its backbone providers. We will refund customers 5% of the monthly
fee for each additional hour of downtime (up to 100% of customer's
monthly fee). Network infrastructure is all equipment, from the
cable connected to the server's NIC to the backbone provider, and
includes routers, switches and cabling. Downtime is measured past
10 minutes after notification of network failure, via the support
email system. If the support email system itself is unreachable,
the trouble ticket must be started by calling the NOC. SiteGenie,
LLC personnel will determine end of downtime by a trace route to the
customer's machine from outside SiteGenie, LLC network.

Customer is responsible for notifying the billing department for
any credits due for the month within two working days from the time
of the incident. Customer should supply all relevant information,
including support emails, for refund to take place. Denial of
customer claims may be appealed through the normal escalation

*Co-location Servers or client owned components do not apply to
hardware SLA. Any and all expenses for replacement of these
components are solely the client's responsibility. If parts are
available in our local area and client accepts all applicable
