Client Support and Service Availability

Emergency Maintenance: In rare cases where emergency maintenance is required to address critical issues, Qloaked will notify clients as soon as possible, even if prior notice is not feasible.

Unavailability Exceptions

Unavailability will not be considered to have occurred if:

Service Credit Process

Clients must request service credits within 30 days of the end of the month during which the availability commitment was not met. Service credits will be applied toward future invoices and will not exceed the total fees paid for the affected month.

Client Responsibilities

Clients must ensure that they are not in violation of their responsibilities under this SLA, including timely payment of all fees and compliance with Qloaked's Terms of Service. Clients in violation of their responsibilities are not eligible for service credits.
