QualiSpace also monitors the Data Transfer utilisation of each server in the QualiSpace Internet Backbone network, with the objective of the servers, are not using more than its allocated data transfer rates per month. In case of extra usage, it will be billed to the customer at Rs. 1000/- (to be mentioned by Branch) – per additional 100 GB usage per month and the payment should be made within 7 days.

Availability


The target availability objective for the QualiSpace Data centre is 99.9% per month (excluding unavailability due to scheduled maintenance). The availability figure applies to QualiSpace- controlled routers and IP backbone facilities, and other data centre equipment. Service Outage shall mean an incident when service is unavailable for at least sixty continuous (60) minutes in duration.

Service Outage shall not include any service outage or interruption resulting from maintenance action requested by or attributed to the Customer, nor from scheduled or routine QualiSpace maintenance operations. QualiSpace will notify the customer three (3) days in advance of a scheduled maintenance at a time agreeable to the customer. A single maintenance period will not exceed three (3) hours.

Service outage shall also not include any service outage or interruption resulting from emergency or general maintenance that lasts for ten (10) minutes or less, QualiSpace will not directly notify Customer in advance for such short-duration maintenance. QualiSpace will use its best efforts to limit such occurrences. In addition, QualiSpace will undertake short duration, general maintenance during defined maintenance windows.

Service outage credits are granted if the QualiSpace Internet backbone network availability falls below the target objective, as defined, with an availability of 99.9%, seven (7) hour of unavailability per month (based on 720 Hours per month) is exempt from service outage credits. For all Service Outage incidents verifiable by QualiSpace, Service outage credit of one (1) day will be granted for outages in excess of sixty minutes but less than 8 hrs. For Service Outages in excess of eight (8) hours, a minimum service outage credit of two (2) days will be granted, with a maximum cap for the service outage credit equal to the monthly access charges for one month. The service outage credit per hour shall be equivalent to the monthly access charge divided by seven hundred twenty (720) hours. The service Outage credit per day shall be equivalent to the monthly access charge divided by thirty (30) days. Service outage credits will be applied by QualiSpace, at the end of the Term of this Agreement. In no event shall QualiSpace’s liability for Service Outage credits exceed the corresponding monthly access charges for the said period of service outage.

The Granting of Service Outage Credits is contingent upon the customer having opened a trouble ticket with QualiSpace’s Privilege Customer Support within 2 Hours after the Service Outage occur. The duration of the Service Outage period will be determined at the sole discretion of QualiSpace, based upon QualiSpace’s internal records and the above-noted trouble ticket. If the customer does not notify QualiSpace’s Privilege Customer Support division within two (2) hours after the service outage occurs, the Service Outage will be considered to begin when the trouble ticket is opened with QualiSpace’s Privilege Customer Support division.

In any case the QualiSpace shall not grant service outage credits in cash or cheque or in any form of Money.
