Hardware Replacement on Failure:

eWallHost guarantees that in the event of any hardware failure, the faulty hardware will be replaced within 12 hours of identifying the problem. In case this guarantee is not met, eWallHost will provide a credit of:

•    0% of the first month's invoice amount if the period of up-gradation from being scheduled is less than 12 hours.

•    10% of the first month's invoice amount if the period of up-gradation from being scheduled ranges between 12 to 18 hours.

•    20% of the first month's invoice amount if the period of up-gradation from being scheduled ranges between 18 to 24 hours.

•    30% of the first month's invoice amount if the time of up-gradation from being scheduled exceeds 24 hours.

Though, this guarantee dismisses the time required to perform all further support. Support related to software, firewalls, cloning of hard drives, rebuilding web accounts using backups, the load balancer(s), reloading applications, reloading the operating system, reassembling of RAID arrays or any changes in hardware like network switches and network routers. Also, eWallHost will not be responsible for any data loss of their customers, in the case of any hardware problem, system crash, and any downtime or hard disk crash. Issues of these type may take 3-15 days for running properly.

Dedicated Server hardware covered under replacement guarantee includes a processor(s), hard drive(s), RAM, network card(s), motherboard and all other hardware that is related directly to the server offered in the plan.

Hardware Up-Gradation:

In the event of ordering an upgrade, the upgrade will be completed within 24 hours of being scheduled; this upgrades subject to hardware availability on data-center. This up-gradation needs to be scheduled with our support team. In the event the guarantee is not met, EWallHost will provide a credit of:

•    0% of the first month's invoice amount if the period of up-gradation from being scheduled is less than 24 hours.

•    25% of the first month's invoice amount if the time of up-gradation from being scheduled exceeds 24 hours.

However, this guarantee would be void in the rare event of hardware/software in question being unavailable. The customer would be well notified of the situation within 12 hours.

Network Uptime Agreement

eWallHost guarantees 99.9% network uptime to customers.

99.9% Network uptime may be described as the availability of the network from the internet across the globe 100% of the time.

Network downtime may be defined as eWallHost's network unavailability (excluding scheduled maintenance period) for continuous 15 minutes of time with no internet traffic to the server as verified by the support team at eWallHost. Downtime is defined from the time when the affected customer raises a support ticket to the time eWallHost considers the problem as resolved.

In an incident of downtime, eWallHost will compensate customers as given below:

•    If Network Uptime is less than 99.9%, 5% of the first month's invoice amount will be added as a credit to the customer account.

•    If Network Uptime is less than 99.8%, 10% of the first month's invoice amount will be added as a credit to the customer account.

•    If Network Uptime is less than 99.7%, 20% of the first month's invoice amount will be added as a credit to the customer account.

•     If Network Uptime is less than 99.6%, 30% of the first month's invoice amount will be added as a credit to the customer account.

•   If Network Uptime is less than 99.5%, 40% of the first month's invoice amount will be added as a credit to the customer account.

•    If Network Uptime is less than 99.4%, 50% of the first month's invoice amount will be added as a credit to the customer account.

•    If Network Uptime is less than 99.3%, 100% of the first month's invoice amount will be added as a credit to the customer account.

All requests for compensation must be sent within 15 working days of the incident in question. The settlement amount will not exceed customer's first month's invoice amount. However, this SLA will not be applicable for any month in which the customer is the payment defaulter or has breached eWallHost's Terms of Service.

Network availability will be calculated depending upon the customer's billing cycle and may be calculated differently for different customers.

It is to be noted that these maintenance periods will not be treated under SLA credits.

Hosting Control Panel Issues

In case you experience downtime due to automatic updating of any web hosting panel related software, then eWallHost will try to resolve it but is unable to promise a resolution time.
