This Service Level Agreement (this “SLA”) describes MantraCloud’s commitment to providing excellent customer satisfaction to each and every one of its customers. MantraCloud understands the importance of your server or website availability on the Internet and MantraCloud will take every measure that it can in order to provide an excellent level of service and maximum performance and uptime comparable with the best in the industry. This SLA is provided to all MantraCloud customers at no additional costs. This SLA is incorporated by reference into any agreement you may have with MantraCloud.

Network Uptime

The network is unavailable when there is 100% packet loss between MantraCloud’s network and the Internet, measured from the time MantraCloud acknowledges the network blackout to the time when the packet loss percentage is restored to something less than 99.9%. Should network availability drop under 99.9% under the terms of this SLA, MantraCloud will credit customer 5% of the Monthly Recurring Charges for that month for every hour of downtime (up to 50% of customer’s monthly fee).
