Colocation Services Service Level Agreement

Transcription

1 Colocation Services Service Level Agreement This Service Level Agreement ( SLA ) defines the performance parameters and quality level of the Colocation Services provided by DCLUX to the Customer under the Agreement. This document clarifies both Parties responsibilities and procedures to ensure the Customer needs are met in a timely manner. This SLA and the Agreement shall be interpreted and applied together as a single instrument. In the event of any inconsistency between the SLA and the Agreement, the provisions of the Agreement shall prevail. Any amendment or variation to this SLA shall only be considered as valid and enforceable if made in accordance with the procedure outlined in the Agreement. Unless otherwise and expressly defined in this SLA, all terms shall bare the same meaning as set out in the Agreement. Article 1. Service Availability The Colocation Services is guaranteed to be available as specified in Section 2 here below. The Colocation Services will be considered unavailable if the DCLUX Network is unable to provide the Power Supply on at least one power distribution unit, regardless to the fact that the Customer Hardware is connected to one or two power distribution units. (the PDU ) The guarantee does not include the cabling and/or switching material connecting the Customer Hardware and the PDU and the Customer Hardware itself, nor does it include scheduled maintenance, outages or disruptions caused directly or indirectly by the Customer, or Force Majeure Events. An outage is deemed to commence upon DCLUX verification of a disruption of the Colocation Service ( Outage) as reported by the Customer pursuant to the outage procedures (the "Outage Report") outlined in Section 6 below. An Outage is deemed to end when the Colocation Services are fully operative, less any delay experienced by DCLUX while either awaiting additional information from the Customer or awaiting access to the Customer premises where their Hardware is located. If the Customer reports that the Colocation Services are inoperative, but refuses to let DCLUX employees or agents access the Hardware to operate the necessary testing and repairing, the Colocation Services shall be considered impaired, but shall not be considered as an Outage for the purposes of this SLA.
