To Customers in good financial standing with Company, we guarantee that our network is available 99.99% of the time in a given month, excluding scheduled and/or emergency maintenance. The network is defined as core network infrastructure excluding the software running on your server. Network downtime is measured from the moment the Customer notifies a Company support representative of a network failure, to the time the Network responds to an external “ping” request. Notification of network failure must occur at the time of the outage and not after the fact. If network downtime exceeds 4.99% in a given month, the Customer will be credited 10% of their monthly hosting fee and an additional 25% for each additional 2 hours of downtime up to 50% of the Customer’s monthly hosting fee. Credits will typically be applied to your account within sixty days of your credit request. This credit is your sole and exclusive remedy for our failure to meet the SLA. The statistics generated by our internal monitoring services are the final determination of the uptime of our service, and not any one client's experience.

Credits will not be provided to you in the event that you have no Web Site Availability because of: (i) scheduled maintenance, (ii) your behavior or the performance or failure of your equipment, programs or applications, or (iii) circumstances beyond Company's reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of any governmental body, war, insurrection, sabotage, embargo, fire, flood, strike or other labor disturbance, interruption of or delay in transportation, DDoS attacks (distributed denial-of-service), unavailability of interruption or delay in telecommunications or third party services (including DNS propagation), failure of third party software or hardware or inability to obtain raw materials, supplies, or power used in or equipment needed for the Services. c) breaking this Agreement or any other published user agreement
- 3. Hardware replacement will occur within 1-8 hours from your report of a problem. Company will refund 5% of the Fee for each additional 8 hours of down time (up to 100% of your Fee). In order to reduce replacement hardware downtime, we keep a certain quantity of pre-built systems on hand to swap out hard disks so that your server can be back up in the shortest amount of time. For hard disk failures, we keep pre-installed drives with our standard partitioning for immediate deployment. In order to request a SLA hardware violation credit, you must contact our sales department through our helpdesk. SLA violations will be reviewed by our personnel Monday - Friday.
- 4. Dedicated Server Restore: Company does not restore your data to the server and is not responsible for loss of your data.

ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY ("AUP")
- General Information. As a provider of Internet/World Wide Web access, web site hosting, and other Internet-related services, The WareHive Corp. ("COMPANY") offers its customers, the means to acquire and disseminate a wealth of public, private, commercial, and non-commercial information. COMPANY respects that the Internet provides a forum for free and open discussion and dissemination of information, however, when there are competing interests at issue, COMPANY reserves the right to take certain preventative or corrective actions. In order to protect these competing interests, COMPANY has developed this Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"), which supplements and explains certain terms of each customer's respective service agreement and is intended as a guide to the customer's rights and obligations when utilizing COMPANY's services. This AUP will be revised from time to time. A customer's use of COMPANY's services after changes to the AUP are posted on COMPANY's web site, HTTP://WWW.THEWAREHIVE.COM under the Legal Details section, will constitute the customer's acceptance of any new or additional terms of the AUP that result from those changes. One important aspect of the Internet is that no one party owns or controls it. This fact accounts for much of the Internet's openness and value, but it also places a high premium on the judgment and responsibility of those who use the Internet, both in the information they acquire and in the information they disseminate to others. When subscribers obtain information through the Internet, they must keep in mind that COMPANY cannot monitor, verify, warrant, or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information that users may acquire. For this reason, the user must exercise his or her best judgment in relying on information obtained from the Internet, and also should be aware that some material posted to the Internet is sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because COMPANY cannot monitor or censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do so, COMPANY cannot accept any responsibility for injury to its users, customers or subscribers that results from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive, or illegal Internet communications. When users, customers or disseminate information through the Internet, they also must keep in mind that COMPANY does not review, edit, censor, or take responsibility for any information its users, customers or subscribers may create. When users place information on the Internet, they have the same liability as other authors for copyright infringement, defamation, and other harmful speech. Also, because the information they create is carried over COMPANY's network and may reach a large number of people, including both customers and subscribers and non-subscribers of COMPANY, customers' and subscribers' postings to the Internet may affect other customers and subscribers and may harm COMPANY's goodwill, business reputation, and operations. For these reasons, customers and subscribers violate COMPANY policy and the service agreement when they, their customers, affiliates, or subsidiaries engage in activities described herein.
- Scope. This AUP governs the usage of COMPANY's products and services (the "Services"). This AUP is incorporated by reference into each contract COMPANY enters into with a customer (each, a "Customer") for the use of such Services. COMPANY may modify this AUP at any time without notice. In addition, this AUP is incorporated by reference into the Terms of Service applicable to COMPANY's Web site so that no person who utilizes COMPANY's Web site (regardless of whether that person is a Customer) may take any action utilizing COMPANY's Web site that a Customer would be prohibited to take utilizing the Services.
- Purpose. The purpose of this AUP is to enhance the quality of the Services and to protect COMPANY's customers, and the Internet community as a whole, from illegal, irresponsible, or disruptive Internet activities. This AUP applies to each Customer and its employees, agents, contractors or other users of such Customer who obtain Services from COMPANY (each such person being a "User"). Each User should use common sense and good judgment in connection with the Services. Parents or guardians should always supervise minors in using the Internet. Parents and guardians should remain aware at all times of what is on the Internet and how the minors under their care are using the Services and the Internet.
- Prohibited Uses. Customers and Users may not:
- Utilize the Services to send unsolicited bulk and/or commercial messages over the Internet (known as "spam" or "spamming").

Maintaining an open SMTP relay is prohibited. Any direct action, configuration, or setting that causes excessive outbound email traffic is subject to review and possible action. When a complaint is received, COMPANY has the absolute and sole discretion to determine from all of the evidence whether the email recipients were from an "opt-in" email list, or whether the outbound email traffic generated from an account is suitable for a shared hosting environment.
