Credits

Celerity Telecom calculates network outages commencing on the date and time of the opening of a Trouble Ticket and ending at the close of the same Trouble Ticket by Celerity Telecom’s Technical Support. Customer must contact Technical Support to report outages or performance issues and must work with Technical Support to resolve such issues in a timely manner. Upon resolution of the problem and close of the Trouble Ticket, Customer must contact Customer Service within 5 business days to request a SLA credit and reference the Trouble Ticket assigned. Any credits determined to be due by Customer Service will be credited towards the next month’s charges and may not be deducted from any current outstanding charges. The amount of credit to be issued will be determined as follows:

 

Network availability

Should network availability fall below 99.9% in any given month, a credit equal to 1/30th of the monthly rate will be issued for each 4-hour increment of the outage, to a maximum of 50% of the monthly billing rate in any given month. 

 

Latency or Paket Delivery

A credit equal to 1/30th of the monthly rate will be issued for any documented Latency or Packet Delivery issue. In the event that Customer is entitled to multiple credits under this SLA arising from the same event, such credits shall not be cumulative and Customer shall be entitled to receive only the maximum single credit available for such event. The maximum credit that may be issued during any month is 50% of the monthly rate. The maximum accumulated credit that may be issued during any contract year is 20% of the total annual billing for the Service. In the event Customer would receive credits in any given month equal to 50% of the monthly rate, or an individual credit that would put the accumulated credit for a contract year over the 20% annual threshold, Customer shall have the option to cancel service at that time without penalty.
