D&S Hosting endeavors to have network connectivity available for http access by third parties 99% of the time ("Web Site Availability").

Credits

In the event that there is no Web Site Availability, D&S Hosting will credit the monthly service charge for the Service as calculated below and as measured 24-hours a day in a calendar month, with the maximum credit not to exceed the monthly service charge for the affected month:

Web Site Availability Credit

95% to 99% = 10%
90% to 94.9% = 25%
89.9% or below = 50%

In order for YOU to receive a credit on YOUR account, YOU must request such credit within seven (7) business days after YOU experienced no Web Site Availability. YOU must request credit by sending an electronic mail message to admin@ds-host.co.uk. For security, the body of this message must contain YOUR account number/domain name, the dates and times of the unavailability of YOUR web site, and such other customer identification requested by D&S Hosting. Credits will usually be applied within sixty (60) days of YOUR credit request. Credit to your account shall be YOUR sole and exclusive remedy in the event that there is no Web Site Availability.

Restrictions

Credits shall not be provided to YOU in the event that YOU have no Web Site Availability resulting from...

Limitations

On-line problems occur continuously. There might come a time when you cannot access your website or any other service. This is not necessarily due to D&S Hosting. Perhaps your ISP is experiencing technical difficulties, or there might be a routing problem between your ISP and D&S Hosting, making communication difficult or impossible. We cannot bear the responsibility of such problems. Our monitoring agents determine the uptime of our service, and not any one client's experience
