Service outage credits are granted if the QualiSpace Internet backbone network availability falls below the target objective, as defined, with an availability of 99.9%, seven (7) hour of unavailability per month (based on 720 Hours per month) is exempt from service outage credits. For all Service Outage incidents verifiable by QualiSpace, Service outage credit of one (1) day will be granted for outages in excess of sixty minutes but less than 8 hrs. For Service Outages in excess of eight (8) hours, a minimum service outage credit of two (2) days will be granted, with a maximum cap for the service outage credit equal to the monthly access charges for one month.

Service outage credits will be applied by QualiSpace, at the end of the Term of this Agreement. In no event shall QualiSpace’s liability for Service Outage credits exceed the corresponding monthly access charges for the said period of service outage.
