1.SERVICE DESCRIPTION.
XMission will provide a secure, climate-controlled environment with power, cooling, and bandwidth, offering your company a reliable means of conducting business.
2.UPTIME GUARANTEE. XMission strives to provide 100% facility availability. You agree that the following governs the extent and quality of the Service guaranteed by XMission.
2.1 Optional Redundant Power. XMission provides delivery of AC power to You with redundant (A+B) available upon Your request and at an additional price. Redundancy is achieved by installing primary and redundant power circuits which allow for failover if either power circuit fails anywhere along the delivery path. You must ensure all colocated equipment is compatible with XMission’s power infrastructure and capable of utilizing dual power sources and equipment must be plugged directly into both the A and B power strips. Note that both A+B power feeds must go down to be considered an outage to qualify for SLA credit. Lastly, XMission is not responsible for outages due to “dirty” power from Your own equipment (e.g., faulty power supply).
2.2Optional Redundant Networking. XMission provides network redundancy upon Your request and at an additional price. Redundancy is achieved by connecting Your equipment to primary and redundant networking feeds and configuring them for failover. You must ensure all colocated equipment is compatible with XMission’s networking infrastructure and capable of utilizing dual networking (e.g., dual switches running LACP, VLAN, or BGP).
2.3Proactive Support Notification. XMission will contact You by email within two (2) hours of any Outage. Notification will be sent to the Primary Technical Contact provided by You in the XMission Master Service Agreement. A credit of one (1) day’s service will be given each time XMission fails to contact a customer within two (2) hours of an Outage in which the client has opened a ticket.
2.4Outages. Any facility outage resulting in downtime during which You have no access to power and/or networking for a period in excess of five (5) minutes will be deemed an Outage if it is the result of a failure of XMission’s infrastructure.

An outage shall not be deemed to occur during routine scheduled maintenance for which You have been notified or upon the occurrence of an act outside of the control of XMission, such as loss of power at Your premises or an act of force of nature. Note that redundant power connections must be configured and fail to qualify for credit.
2.4.1Credit Qualification. Power Outages apply only to customers who subscribe for Redundant Power for which XMission charges an additional fee. No credit will be given unless You have provided reasonable assistance in an effort to cure the Outage.

4.3.2Customers that chose 95th percentile bandwidth billing, rather than flat rate, will be charged for monthly base fees, and separately billed for the overage amount on Your current or subsequent invoices. Instead of incurring overage charges, You may choose to upgrade their service for that month and the rest of the contract term.
