100% Service Uptime Guarantee
Do to our extensive network infrastructure, Aventice can provide its customers with a 100% Network Uptime Guarantee. In the event that any service does not experience 100% uptime in a given month, Aventice will credit 5% of customer’s base monthly service fee for the first hour of downtime and subsequently an additional 5% for each hour of downtime thereafter with a maximum of an 80% refund. Any emergency scheduled downtime taken by Aventice will not apply towards this downtime calculation, nor to the credit calculation. This guarantee applies to Aventices network uptime and not to any hardware, software or services running on a customer’s server.
