Service Level Commitment

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no calendar month will the credit exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the monthly Service charge for the affected month.

Customer must submit a written Performance Credit request to DWDM within ten (10) business days of the applicable lapse in Service Availability. Customer’s Performance Credit request must contain Customer’s Name, Affected Website(s), the dates and times of the lapse in Service Availability, and other relevant identification required by DWDM to validate Customer’s Performance Credit request.

  • Outages during Customer scheduled or emergency maintenance events.
  • Outages caused by negligence or willful misconduct of Customer or Customer’s customer(s).
  • Outages caused by inability to obtain equipment or services needed for the provisioning of additional Services.

Financial Arrangements

Our Services are offered for a fee. Depending on the Service, it may be a one-time fee (for example, for redesign of your website) or a recurring fee (for example, for a Hosting Plan). By using our Services, you agree to pay the associated fees, which we’ll bill or charge you for in regular intervals (such as monthly or annually), on a pre-pay basis until you cancel, which you can do at any time.

Provision And Use Of The Services

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, we will provide the Services to Customer. You shall provide us with all assistance as reasonably required for us to activate and operate the Services. The Services may only be used for their intended purposes and in accordance with this Agreement. Customer Content hosted by us may be scanned for malware and/or other items that may adversely affect our system(s) or platform. If malware is detected on Customer Content, DWDM may offer our malware removal service that must be accepted by You and completed before affected Customer Content can be migrated to our platform. Certain plug-ins are disallowed for use on our platform for security and performance reasons. Customer Content that contains disallowed plug-ins may result in you receiving a notification to remove or replace such disallowed plug-in within a reasonable amount of time. We reserve the right to disable or remove any disallowed plug-ins on Customer Content or otherwise restrict Services related to any disallowed plug-ins.

You acknowledge that we may engage third parties to provide or enable elements of the Services.

From time-to-time we may cease supporting aspects of the Services (any such event, an “End of Life”). Should components of the Services come to an End of Life, we will attempt to replace them with comparable components, but may not be able to do so. An End of Life is not a breach of this Agreement.

Migrations

By agreeing to migrate your website to DWDM, you understand that your Customer Content may be scanned to detect malware and/or other items that may adversely affect our system(s) and/or platform security and/or performance.

If malware is detected on Customer Content, DWDM may offer our malware removal service, which must be accepted by you and completed before affected Customer Content can be migrated to our platform. Customer understands that we will take all reasonable efforts to detect malware on Customer Content and remove detected malware before migrated Customer Content onto our system(s) and/or platform.

Third Party Plug-Ins

Some plug-ins are disallowed for use on our platform for security and performance reasons. Customer Content that contains disallowed plug-ins may result in you receiving a notification to remove or replace such disallowed plug-in within a reasonable amount of time. We reserve the right to disable or remove any disallowed plug-ins on Customer Content or otherwise restrict Services related to any disallowed plug-ins.
