DISCLAIMER:-
Customer hereby acknowledges that Bodhost's
ability to provide managed services and
technical support to Customer and to manage
any server owned or controlled by or leased
to Customer is contingent upon Bodhost's
ability to connect Bodhost Network to
such server and monitor such server. In
the event that Customer substantially
impairs Bodhost's ability to connect Bodhost
Network to any server owned or controlled
by or leased to Customer, including, but
not limited to, through the installation
of software, including, but not limited
to, firewall software or load balancing
software, or through the configuration
of such server, then Bodhost shall have
no obligation to provide managed services
or technical support services or management
services for such server and Customer
shall not be entitled to any Refund under
this Agreement with respect to such server.
If Customer requests technical support
services or management services for a
server for which Customer has impaired
the ability of Bodhost to connect Bodhost
Network to such server, Bodhost shall
provide such technical support services
or management services as professional
services on a time and material basis
and Customer shall be billed at Bodhost's
then-current professional services rate.
Bodhost shall not be liable for the failure
or delay in performing its obligations
hereunder or under the Agreement if such
failure or delay is due to external circumstances
beyond its reasonable control, including,
without limitation, acts of any governmental
body, war, insurrection, sabotage, embargo,
fire, flood, strike or other labor disturbance,
interruption of or delay in transportation,
unavailability of interruption or delay
in telecommunications, failure of third
party software or inability to obtain
raw materials, supplies, or power used
in or equipment needed for provision of
Bodhost's products and services. Bodhost
agrees to exercise reasonable efforts
to mitigate the damage arising from such
occurrences; however, under no circumstances
will Bodhost or its affiliates be held
liable for any cost, expense, liability,
claim or damage due to such interruptions.
In no event shall Bodhost or its affiliates
be liable to Customer or any other person
for any special, incidental, consequential
or punitive damages of any kind, including,
without limitation, Refunds of fees, loss
of profits, cost of cover, loss of income
or cost of replacement services. Customer
acknowledges and agrees that the receipt
of a Refund as provided for in this SLA
constitutes Customer's sole and exclusive
remedy, and Bodhost's sole and exclusive
liability, for any failure by Bodhost
to provide Customer with the products
and services purchased by Customer in
accordance with the Agreement which results
from a Qualified Downtime Event. Bodhost
reserves the right to amend, modify or
terminate this SLA, the AUP, the Privacy
Policy and the Terms of Service from time
to time.
The following terms and conditions of
this Service Level Agreement (this "SLA")
govern (A) the use and availability of
the internal computer network (“BODHOST”)

("BODHOST") to those persons
that have purchased Products and Services
directly from Bodhost.com (each,
a “Customer”) and (B) the
right, under certain circumstances specified
below, of a Customer to receive services
credits in respect of the failure of Bodhost
to provide the Products and Services purchased
by Customer from Bodhost in accordance
with (i) the Terms of Service (as in effect
from time to time between the Customer
and Bodhost, the “Terms of Service”),
(ii) Bodhost’s Acceptable Usage
Policy, as in effect from time to time
(the “AUP”) and (iii) this
SLA, each of which is incorporated herein
by reference and made a part hereof (collectively,

terms used herein without being defined
herein shall have the meaning ascribed
to such capitalized term in the Terms
of Service or AUP, as applicable. Customer’s
use of Bodhost’s website, Bodhost
Network and the Products and Services
is also subject to Customer’s acceptance
and compliance with Bodhost’s Privacy
Policy which Bodhost hereby reserves the
right to amend, alter, modify, replace
or suspend, from time to time in its sole
discretion. Current copies of Bodhost’s
Terms of Service, AUP and Privacy Policy
may be reviewed or printed by Customer

website.
CUSTOMER HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS
THAT THEY HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND ACCEPTED
THE TERMS OF THE SLA
COMPLETELY.

as the Processor(s), RAM, hard disk(s),
motherboard, NIC card and other related
hardware included under the server lease.
This guarantee excludes the time required
to rebuild a RAID array.
Hardware Replacement Guarantees
and service levels are defined as applying
to servers less than 24 months in production
and apply to only the Dell PowerEdge line
of servers. Two Hour Hardware replacements
are only available to specific Dell Platforms
at our Datacenter.
Scheduled Maintenance:
Customer hereby acknowledges that Bodhost
may, from time to time, perform maintenance
service on the Network, with or sometimes
without notice to Customer, which may
result in the unavailability of the Bodhost
Network. Downtime or unavailability resulting
from Scheduled Maintenance shall not constitute
a Qualified Downtime Event or qualify
for any Refund. Scheduled Maintenance
means all such maintenance services for
which Bodhost gives Customer a prior notice
of such maintenance services. Emergency
maintenance and maintenance for which
Bodhost has not given Customer notice
in accordance with this SLA shall not
be deemed Scheduled Maintenance for purposes
of this SLA.
All Service Credits are calculated by
Bodhost on a “per-event-basis”
each calendar month and in no event will
downtime or unavailability be cumulated
during any monthly period for purposes
of determining a Customer’s right
to any Service Credit. The following events
do not constitute a Qualified Downtime
Event or qualify for any Service Credit
under this SLA: (i) Scheduled Maintenance
(as defined below) or (ii) Customer generated
outages created by failed equipment, customer
mis-configurations, exploited servers,
or traffic in excess of the maximum allowed
by contract. Service Credits are based
directly on all equipment and/or services
affected by a network outage. Products,
services or hardware not related to the
network outage do not qualify for a Service
Credit. Redundant Internet connectivity
is measured as traffic routing into and
out of a Customer’s equipment through
Bodhost Network out to internet backbone
carriers and does not include third party
carrier latency or peering issues not
utilized by Bodhost.
Service Refunds:
These are credits calculated in accordance
with this SLA, issued by Bodhost to the
Customer in respect of products and services
contracted for, but not delivered by Bodhost
in accordance with the Agreement due to
a Qualified Downtime Event. Refunds do
not constitute giving money back in respect
of any product. Refunds are not available
(i) to any Customer who are more than
fifteen (15) days past due on any amount
owing to Bodhost or any Customer that
has breached the Agreement or (ii) in
respect of any products or services contracted
for with Bodhost’s products and
services. Valid approved Refunds will
appear as a credit for products and services
and be applied against the amounts owing
in respect of such products and services
on the next billable invoice following
the month in which occurred the Qualified
Downtime Event giving rise to such Refund.
In order for a Customer to qualify for
a Refund, the Customer must (A) have purchased
and paid for either Bodhost’s Managed

via Bodhost’s Orbit system to billing@bodhost.com
within five (05) days from the date of
event giving rise the requested Refund.
Failure to request a Refund in accordance
with the terms of this SLA will result
in an automatic waiver of any rights to
such Refund under this SLA in respect
of the event giving rise to the need of
such a Refund.
Bodhost will refund the customer 5% of
the monthly fee for each 30 minutes of
downtime (up to 100% of the customer's

once again able to transmit and receive
