GR Host shall use provide secure and reliable Infrastructure based on accepted industrial standards to ensure that your GR Host service is available to you (the Client) 99% of the time in any given calendar month. If not, you may be eligible for Client Service Credits described below.
The following definitions shall apply to the GR Host SLA.
Client shall be defined as an GR Host customer.
Client Service(s) shall be defined as an individual hosting product purchased by a GR Host client.

Monthly Uptime Percentage means the total number of minutes in the calendar month (40,320) minus the number of minutes of Downtime suffered from all Downtime Periods in the calendar month, divided by the total number of minutes in the calendar month.
28 Days = 40,320 Minutes
40320 (minus) Downtime-Minutes (divided by) 40320 = Uptime Percentage
Downtime for a Client Server means that the TCP Port the Client Service is attached to does not respond to TCP port tests from the Monitoring Platform within the GR Host network. This indicates the Client Service is unreachable.
Emergency Downtime includes Incidents where GR Host must temporarily induce downtime on a Host Server/Client Server for events such as hardware failure, vulnerability repairs, and other such situations requiring the immediate shutdown of the system. Emergency Downtime is not considered Downtime for purposes relating to the GR Host SLA.
Scheduled Downtime refers to instances where GR Host will inform you of downtime prior to the start of the Scheduled Downtime window. Scheduled Downtime for purposes relating to the GR Host SLA, does not impact Monthly Uptime Percentage. You will be informed via Email, Discord username (if linked), and via the Client Success Portal.
Service Credits will be provided according to the following schedule:
Client Service Credit. The credit will be calculated at a rate of four (4) hours of service credit for each full hour of downtime experienced beyond the 99% threshold, with this enhanced credit allocation applicable until the Monthly Uptime Percentage reaches 95%. Should the Monthly Uptime Percentage fall to 95% or below, the client will be entitled to a service credit equivalent to one (1) week of service based on the plans monthly rate. For clarity, any fractional hour of downtime exceeding the 99% uptime guarantee will be rounded up to the next full hour when determining the applicable service credit. Credit will be applied on the following Monthly Invoice. Client Service Credits can not be exchanged for cash.
Client Service Credit(s) are applied on the 28th of each month by our billing team. In order to receive any Client Service Credits described above, you must notify GR Host by email or otherwise in writing within seven (7) days from the time you become eligible to receive a Client Service Credit.
Maximum Client Service Credit. The aggregated maximum number of Client Service Credits you can claim for any Downtime periods that occur in a single calendar month shall not exceed 1 month of service credit added to your credit balance.
