1. Master Agreement
Webzilla and Customer may have executed an Internet Services Master Agreement (“the Master Agreement”). The parties agree that the terms and conditions of the Master Agreement govern this Support and Service Agreement (the “SLA”). In the event of a conflict between the terms of this SLA and the Master Agreement, the Master Agreement shall control. Capitalized terms used in this SLA shall have the same meaning as in the Master agreement and vice versa unless otherwise defined herein. Any use of the Webzilla services by Customer constitutes acceptance of this Agreement.

3. Service Availability
3.1 Webzilla shall use commercially best efforts to provide 99.99% Services availability. Services availability is calculated by the number of hours the service is available to customers plus the total number of hours, if any, the service is scheduled to be unavailable, divided by the total number of hours in that month.
In the event that there is no services availability, Webzilla will credit the following month’s service fee as follows:
Customer Services Availability Credit
- 99.9% to 99.98%: 5% credit
- 95% to 99.8%: 25% credit
- 90% to 94.9%: 50% credit
- 89.9% or below: 100% credit
In order for the Customer to receive a credit on his account, Customer must request such credit within seven (7) business days after he experienced no Services availability. Customer must request credit by sending an electronic mail message to support@webzilla.com.
For security, the body of this message must contain Customer’s server ID, the dates and times of the unavailability of Customer’s services, and such other customer identification requested by Webzilla. Credits will usually be applied within sixty (60) days of Customer’s credit request. Credit to Customer’s account will be Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event that there is no Services availability. Credits will not be provided to Customer in the event that Customer has no Services.

a) Scheduled maintenance: i) as posted from time to time at webzilla.com and/or ii) via direct contact from Webzilla to Customer;
