System Availability

We are committed to providing you with a reliable platform that is consistently accessible. We warrant that with the exclusion of planned software updates and server updates for which you will have at least 24-hour notice, the system will be available to you at least 99.95% of the time. We refer to this as our uptime.

Compensation if System Availability Goes Below 99.95%

If in any given month, uptime falls below 99.95%, the following credit will be issued based on the annual fee prorated to one month and the amount of the availability degradation as follows:

Availability Exclusions from Our SLA

Anything arising from factors that are not under our control is not covered by our SLA. These include, but are not limited to, an inability to access the internet from your computer for any reason and an inability to access our servers from your computer due to hardware or software settings in your technology environment. Basically, if other members can access the system, the system is not considered down.
