Dedicated Servers SLA

Cartika provides the following guaranty for Dedicated Servers:

100% Network Uptime

We guaranty that our data centre network will be available 100% of the time in a given month, excluding scheduled maintenance. The data centre network means the portion of the Cartika network extending from the outbound port on your edge device to the outbound port of the data centre border router and includes Cartika managed switches, routers, cabling.

Infrastructure

We guaranty that datacenter HVAC and power will be functioning 100% of the time in a given month, excluding scheduled maintenance. Infrastructure downtime exists when a particular server is shut down due to power or heat problems. For managed customers, the overall Managed SLA applies.

Hardware

We guaranty the functioning of all server hardware components for servers provided by Cartika and will replace any failed component at no cost. “Hardware” means the processor(s), RAM, hard disk(s), motherboard, NIC card and other related hardware included with the server. Hardware replacement will begin once we identify the cause of the problem. Hardware replacement is guaranteed to be complete within one hour of problem identification.

Credits

If we fail to meet a guaranty stated above, you will be eligible for a credit. Credits will be calculated as a percentage of the fees for the server adversely affected by the failure for the current monthly billing period during which the failure occurred (to be applied at the end of the billing cycle), as follows:

Cartika Inc offers 100% Network uptime SLA for all customers. Unscheduled network outages of any nature will make customers eligible for a service credit valued at 1 days of service for every 5 minutes of unscheduled network outage accrued during a calendar month. For all managed customers, the overall Managed SLA applies.

Infrastructure: Unscheduled Infrastructure outages of any nature will make customers eligible for a service credit valued at 1 days of service for every 5 minutes of unscheduled network outage accrued during a calendar month. For managed customers, the overall Managed SLA applies.

Cartika Managed SLA Guaranty: Cartika offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee on managed server solutions. A service will be generally available to the internet – Isolated ISP or transit outages are out of our control and not covered by this SLA. This SLA covers unscheduled maintenance windows within our networks and datacenter. Cartika will credit 50% of your monthly fee if we are responsible for an outage resulting in an uptime less than 99.9% for a calendar month. Cartika will credit 100% of your fee if we are responsible for an outage resulting in an uptime less than 99% for a calendar month.

Please note – Scheduled Maintenance Windows and H-Sphere Control Panel Service are exempt from any uptime SLA’s as our control panel services are isolated from our other services, and typically we will take the control panels offline while performing major system upgrades – however, other core services will not be affected and are still protected per our SLA above.

Limitations

You are not entitled to a credit if you are in breach of your services agreement with The Cartika (including your payment obligations to us) until you have cured the breach. You are not entitled to a credit if the downtime would not have occurred due to your actions or a breach of your agreement with Cartika, your misuse/actions of the server systems whether on purpose or accidentally, or through an attack against your server.

This Service Level Guaranty is your sole and exclusive remedy for your servers unavailability.

Not withstanding anything in this Service Level Guaranty to the contrary, the maximum total credit for the monthly billing period, including all guaranties, shall not exceed 100% of your fee for a monthly billing period on a per server basis. Credits that would be available but for this limitation will not be carried forward to future billing periods.

This Service Level Guaranty is part of your Agreement with Cartika, along with Terms of Service and the AUP, and is subject to the terms and conditions stated in those documents.

To receive an SLA credit, Cartika customers must contact the billing department via the ticketing system. You must show that your use was adversely affected in some way as a result of the downtime to be eligible for the credit.

You irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Canada and waive any right that you may have to object to an action being brought in those courts. To the maximum extent permitted by law, this agreement is governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada. You hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue courts in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of our services.
