Always On Guarantee

Always On guarantee

For the life of your account, we guarantee that your websites will be up and running 100% of the time. That's 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We know that your websites mean money, and if we don't meet our commitment, we'll pay you in the form of credits to your billing account.

SLA credits

This guarantee is also called our "Service Level Agreement (SLA)", and credits applied when this guarantee goes into effect are called "SLA credits". To receive SLA credits, customers must make a request using the "Submit a support request" function of Control Panel within two days of the outage. The customer's billing account will be credited the pro-rated amount for one day of the regular monthly charge of the affected service, for each hour or portion of one hour during which the service was unavailable. The maximum SLA credit amount will be the amount of the regular monthly charge of the affected service. Credits are issued to customer billing accounts, to be applied to any future bill. SLA credits are not cash redeemable.

Guaranteed service availability

Customers who have the Net Image package, Web Starter package, or Managed server are guaranteed to have web site availability to Internet visitors through the HTTP protocol, and incoming e-mail availability through the IMAP and POP3 protocols.

Customers who have a Customer managed server are guaranteed to be able to pass IP (Internet Protocol) packets between the customer's equipment and the Internet at large.

Unavailability is limited to network outages within the Korax network, or web server software or hardware downtime, either of which causes the customer's service to be unavailable from the Korax network. Issues beyond the control of Korax for which SLA credits aren't issued include force majeure, outages in the Internet at large, latency at hops between the Korax network and the customer's location, downtime resulting from breaches of security or denial of service attacks, any failure of customer-owned or customer-administered equipment, hardware, or software, or for scheduled maintenance. Web sites utilizing DNS services provided by a third party are not eligible for SLA credits.

Scheduled maintenance is work that may cause service interruptions, and which is scheduled to be performed by Korax with at least twenty four hours of advance notice. Official notice of scheduled maintenance will be posted at the Korax web site.

Other guarantees

In addition to our Service Level Agreement for all customers, new customers are protected with our thirty day purchase protection guarantee.
