We understand the necessity of high availability to our customers and make every effort to provide services that consistently exceed your expectations. The following service levels are designed to assure you of ultimate performance and maximal uptime. Each service level specifies the Service it is applicable to, the service level that applies, and how service credits are calculated for each service.

OKTOPUSTECH Networks provide a reactive hosting service for all websites and offer a 100% of Guaranteed Network Uptime. We do not constantly check the websites we host to ensure they are functioning correctly as routine use, maintenance and software updates can affect website functions. It is therefore the responsibility of the client to ensure their website is operating as it should. ‘Always on’ and ‘managed hosting services’ support can be provided and can be quoted on on a case-by-case basis.

 

OKTOPUSTECH guarantees that its power and service will be available 100% of the time in a given month. You will get Service Credit of Five percent (5%) of the Net MRC for each hour (or fraction thereof) of Downtime.

 

OKTOPUSTECH guarantees the functioning of all Hardware/Services, and will replace or repair any failed component at no cost to you within 1 hour of Team OKTOPUSTECH’s identification of the failed hardware/services (the “Replacement Guarantee”).

 

Due to our extensive network infrastructure, OKTOPUSTECH can provide its customers with a 100% Network Uptime Guarantee. In the event that any service does not experience 100% uptime in a given month, OKTOPUSTECH will credit 5% of customer’s base monthly service fee for the first hour of downtime and subsequently an additional 5% for each hour of downtime thereafter with a maximum of an 80% refund. Any emergency scheduled downtime taken by OKTOPUSTECH will not apply towards this downtime calculation, nor to the credit calculation. This guarantee applies to OKTOPUSTECH’s network uptime and not to any hardware, software or services running on a customer’s server. Account credits will be issued when an SLA credit request is made by the client. All requests for credits must be made within 3 days of the incident. All requests for credits must be made by creating a support ticket at https://oktopus-tech.com/clientarea to BILLING department.
