"Backbone Network Unavailability" shall mean the failure of the Warp Drive Backbone Network, for reasons not involving the Warp Drive Data Center Network Availability Guarantee, resulting in Customer's site or equipment being unable to connect to the Warp Drive Backbone Network. Upon receiving a Service Credit Request, Warp Drive will calculate the duration of the Warp Drive Backbone Network Unavailability to Customer.
Calculating Service Credit for Unavailability
The amount of Service Credit that may be granted, upon compliance by Customer with the procedures herein, for failure to comply with an Availability Guarantee set forth herein shall be:
- Unavailability equal to or greater than 40 minutes, but less than four (4) hours, in a calendar month: Eight (8) Hours Service Credit.

If Warp Drive fails to contact Customer within two (2) hours of the occurrence of such Unavailability, Customer will, upon compliance with the procedures herein, be eligible to receive an eight (8) hour Service Credit.
Internet Latency Guarantee
Warp Drive guarantees an average monthly transmission rate of 85 milliseconds or less on the Warp Drive Backbone Network. Any Customer who experiences average Internet latency on the Warp Drive Backbone Network in excess of 85 milliseconds, measured at approximately thirty (30) minute intervals and calculated the average at the end of each calendar month may receive Service Credit as follows:
- Average Internet latency in excess of 85 milliseconds for any calendar month: one (1) day Service Credit.
- Average Internet latency in excess of 85 milliseconds in each of two (2) consecutive calendar months: one (1) week Service Credit.
Packet Loss Guarantee
Warp Drive guarantees that packet loss shall be not more than 0.3% on the Warp Drive Backbone Network during any calendar month. Any Customer who experiences a packet loss on the Warp Drive Backbone Network in excess of 0.3%, measured at approximately thirty (30) minute intervals and calculated the average at the end of each calendar month may receive One (1) Day Service Credit.
Service Claim Procedure
To initiate a claim for Service Credit with respect to any Guarantee, except the Installation Guarantee, Customer shall submit a completed Service Credit Request Form within fourteen (14) days after the end of the month during or for which the event occurred which gives rise to the claim for Service Credit. To be considered for Service Credit with respect to the Installation Guarantee, Customer shall submit a Service Credit Request not later than seven (7) days after the actual installation date, which shall for Co-Location Customers be deemed to be the date that Warp Drive delivers to Co-Location Customer IP address or addresses and makes Co-Location Customer's rack space available for installation of Co-Location Customer's equipment. Customer shall be notified of the projected installation date after Customer's order has been accepted and entered into Warp Drive's accounting and provisioning system. Warp Drive shall acknowledge receipt of all Service Credit Request via email no later than the next succeeding business day after such receipt and shall review all requests within 14 days after such receipt. Customer shall be notified via email upon resolution of the request.
Unless Customer has been notified of any Unavailability by Warp Drive, Customer shall have notified the Warp Drive Network Operations Center (888-WARPDRIVE) of any Unavailability promptly during such Unavailability. Eligibility for Service Credit is based on a failure that is caused solely by a component or components of Customer's service that is managed by Warp Drive.
Service Credit
If Customers’ Service Credit Request is approved, Warp Drive shall issue Service Credit to Customers’ account, which Service Credit shall appear on the invoice issued in the month following the month in which the Service Credit Request Form was approved.
Service Credit shall be Customers’ sole remedy for any failure by Warp Drive to provide Services, including, but not limited to, any Unavailability. In addition, the terms of the Colocation Service Agreement will apply.
The Service Credit provided for herein is based on Customers’ compliance with the terms and conditions of its Colocation Service Agreement with Warp Drive, and the failure of Customer to comply therewith may invalidate Warp Drive's Guarantees provided herein. Furthermore, Warp Drive shall not be held liable for failure to fulfill its obligations hereunder if such failure is due to Customers’ tampering with any equipment.
Service Credits are not cumulative. If Warp Drive fails to comply with more than one Guarantee with respect to a Customer during a calendar month, only the Guarantee producing the greatest measured Service Credit to such Customer will be considered for the granting of Service Credit. Furthermore, If Customer receives more than one Service, Service Credits will not be considered for Services that were not affected by Warp Drive's failure to comply with any Guarantee.
