1. Scope of This Agreement

This includes Virtual Server Hosting Plans (Professional, Business) and Virtual Application Hosting Plans provided by Cloudwalks.

Service Availability: The percentage of time in a given calendar month that your virtual servers are accessible and operational, as measured by Cloudwalks.
3. Service Level Goal

4. Remedies if Targets Aren’t Met
