Our uptime commitment, how we measure it, and what you're owed when we miss it.
This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") describes the level of service Pulsar67 ("we," "us") commits to providing to our customers ("you") for our Virtual Private Server ("VPS") products. This SLA forms part of your Terms of Service.
If we don't meet the commitments described below, you may be eligible for a service credit applied to a future invoice, as described in Section 4.
Pulsar67 commits to making each VPS available for at least 99.9% of each calendar month (the "Monthly Uptime Percentage"). This corresponds to a maximum of approximately 43 minutes 12 seconds of unplanned downtime per 30-day month.
The commitment applies to each VPS instance individually. Outages on one instance do not affect the calculation for another instance you operate.
"Downtime" means an interval during which a VPS is unreachable from the public internet via its primary IPv4 address, as measured by our external monitoring system probing from at least three geographically distinct vantage points.
Monthly Uptime Percentage is calculated as:
(Total minutes in month − Downtime minutes) ÷ Total minutes in month × 100
Downtime is measured in one-minute increments, rounded to the nearest minute. Periods of less than 60 seconds are not counted.
If the Monthly Uptime Percentage for a VPS falls below 99.9% in a given calendar month, you are eligible for a service credit calculated as a percentage of that month's recurring fee for the affected VPS:
| Monthly Uptime Percentage | Service Credit |
|---|---|
| < 99.9% but ≥ 99.0% | 10% of monthly fee |
| < 99.0% but ≥ 95.0% | 25% of monthly fee |
| < 95.0% but ≥ 90.0% | 50% of monthly fee |
| < 90.0% | 100% of monthly fee |
Service credits are applied to your account balance and used against future invoices. They are not redeemable for cash and do not carry over if you cancel your service.
The following do not count as Downtime and are excluded from the Monthly Uptime Percentage calculation:
To receive a service credit, you must submit a request through the client area ticket system within 30 days of the end of the calendar month in which the SLA was missed. Your request must include:
We will review the request against our internal monitoring records and respond within 10 business days. If approved, the credit will be applied to your next invoice automatically.
Service credits are your sole and exclusive remedy for any failure of Pulsar67 to meet the commitments in this SLA, subject to the limitation of liability in our Terms of Service.
The total service credits awarded for a single VPS in any one calendar month will not exceed 100% of the recurring fee for that VPS in that month.
We may update this SLA from time to time. Material changes will be announced at least 30 days in advance through the client area and by email to the account contact on file. Continued use of the service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised SLA.
