This 100% uptime guarantee applies to any Nine Planets, LLC Hosting Client in good financial standing with Nine Planets, LLC at the time of a service outage.

Nine Planets, LLC endeavors to have our public network available to any party in the world 100% of the time. Network downtime (unavailability) is defined as 100% packet loss from Nine Planets, LLC to its backbone providers. Downtime is measured past 10 minutes after notification of network failure via Nine Planets, LLC' online ticketing system. If the ticketing system itself is unreachable, the ticket must be started by calling the Nine Planets, LLC NOC, or emergency paging services. Nine Planets, LLC' administrators will determine the end of the downtime by a trace-route to the backbone providers from Nine Planets, LLC network.

In the event that our public network does not experience 100% network uptime in a given month, Nine Planets, LLC will credit 5% of the customer's monthly service fees for customers affected services. Additional credits will be issued for each 30 minutes of network downtime experienced up to 100% of the monthly service fee.
