If the total Qualified Downtime in any one period of a calendar month is: 1. Greater than 3.64 hours but not exceeding 7.28 hours 1. 20% of the Monthly Fee for Monthly Accounts or 20% of the Annual Fee divided by 12 to obtain a month's fee 2.

Greater than 29.12 hours 4. 80% of the Monthly recurring fee for Monthly Accounts or 80% of the Annual Fee divided by 12 to obtain a month’s fee (b) Downtime. For the purposes of this Section, Downtime shall mean any interruption of ninety (90) seconds or more in the availability to users of any application, directly or indirectly made available through the Services, only if such interruption is due to either: (i) failure by Aqua Websites to manage a situation so as to cause interruption in Network availability, or (ii) a disruption in the connection between any such website and the Internet. For purposes of this Section, the Internet is deemed to consist of services that commence where Aqua Websites transmits Your content to Aqua Websites’ carrier(s) at the Aqua Websites border router port(s). Such carriers provide Aqua Websites with private and dedicated bandwidth. Aqua Websites undertakes no obligation for the circuit or link between Aqua Websites’ facilities and such carrier’s services. If router packet loss is in excess of fifty percent (50%) and is sustained for one hundred and twenty (120) seconds or more, Aqua Websites will classify this as an “outage.” If an “outage” continues for a time period of more than four (4) minutes, then such outage will be deemed Downtime. If the latency across the Aqua Websites IP network exceeds one hundred twenty (120) milliseconds, Aqua Websites will classify this as Downtime; or (iii) A fault in server hardware by which the Services are provided. If time between Your formal indication of service fault and Aqua Websites's acknowledgement and response to begin resolution of the hardware fault exceeds four (4) hours, Aqua Websites will classify this as Downtime. (c) A Qualified Website Downtime Event shall start upon Your submission of a written trouble ticket in Admin Area or phone call to Aqua Websites specifying that a Qualified Website Downtime Event has occurred and the details associated with such Qualified Website Downtime Event. All such trouble tickets and phone calls must be submitted by You through Aqua Websites’s Request Support area within your website Admin Area or through Aqua Websites technical support department phone number on the Contact us page of the website. Upon a Qualified Website Downtime Event, the Service Credit shall equal, the monthly fees or annual fees divided by 12 to reach a monthly pro-rata fee, payable by You in respect of such Products and Services for the month in which such Qualified Network Downtime Event occurred and thereafter during the pendency of such unavailability, the Service Credit shall increase for the duration of a Qualified Network Downtime Event up to a maximum of one hundred percent (100%) of monthly fees payable by You in respect of such Products and Services for the month in which such Qualified Network Downtime Event occurred. (d) Aqua Websites must perform scheduled maintenance to servers from time to time. We will attempt to perform all scheduled maintenance at times which will affect the fewest customers. If scheduled maintenance requires the service to be offline for more than 30 consecutive minutes we will send details of the scheduled maintenance to the email account of Your account: (i) at least 24 hours in advance of the maintenance in case of security, performance or service stability; and (ii) at least 14 days in advance of the maintenance in case of Planned outages. (e) Aqua Websites will make its best endeavours to schedule all maintenance but may need to perform unscheduled maintenance such as a required restart of a server following the installation of a security update from a third party software or hardware provider to Aqua Websites. Aqua Websites will make its best endeavours to perform any such unscheduled maintenance outside of Australian Business Hours between AEST +10 GMT 6.00 am to 10.00 pm. If unscheduled maintenance is less than 30 consecutive minutes then any period which Your website services are inaccessible, then this period will not qualify as a Qualified Downtime Event or Downtime Event. If unscheduled maintenance is greater than 30 consecutive minutes then any period during which Your website services are inaccessible will be a Qualified Downtime Event unless caused by a Software Update provided by a third party software or hardware provider. (f) Aqua Websites will archive Your data onto backup mechanisms on a regular basis for the purposes of disaster recovery. In the event of equipment failure or data corruption, we will restore from the last known good archive. In the event of corruption of all of our archives, or in the event that an old archive is used to restore data, You should be prepared to upload your data to Your web site. You must maintain a recent copy of Your data at Your premises at all times. We will not be liable for incomplete, out-of-date, corrupt or otherwise deficient customer data recovered from our backups and the same will not qualify as a Qualified Downtime Event or Downtime Event. 11.
