  Service Level Agreement (SLA)
Here at Chronologic Technology (hereafter refer as Chrono) we use only top quality servers, switches, and routers. This translates into great reliability and uptime of 99.9%. We also have a 100% Data Center systems guarantee.

To be eligible for this SLA, your account must be in good standing. All requests for credit or refunds should and must fulfill these requirements:
- Request must be submitted using our ticketing system
- Request must be submitted within 7 days of the issue in question
- Your request must include a ticket number to reference that shows the issue being reported and acknowledged.

Network Guarantee
We guarantee that the network will be available 99% of the time in a given month (this does not include functionality of software/services on a server), excluding scheduled maintenance. If network downtime exceeds 1% the customer will be refunded 5% of their monthly fee for every 60 minutes of downtime, up to 100% of the customer's monthly fee.

Network uptime includes functioning of all network infrastructure including routers, switches and cabling, but does not include services or software running on your server.

We are not responsible for outages or circumstances beyond our control that hinder access to your site or server. The following are excluded from the monthly calculation of Service Availability:
- Scheduled downtime or maintenance
- Traffic conditions on the internet
- ISP or local problems such as Browser or DNS caching
- DDoS, Attacks, Exploits or hacked servers
- An outage from an upstream facility outside of our network
- Interruptions or failure of individual service caused by client, their employees, client's customers, friends, or family to their service.
- Inaccurate installation or configuration of software by the client or non-Chrono staff, 3rd party software, client abuse or over utilization of resources.

Data Center (NOC) Guarantee
We guarantee that the critical systems, including power and HVAC, will be available 100% of the time in a given month, excluding scheduled maintenance. We will refund the customer 5% of the monthly fee for each 60 minutes of downtime (up to 100% of customer's monthly fee).

Critical systems include functioning of all power and HVAC infrastructure including UPSs, PDUs and cabling, except the power supplies on customers' servers. NOC downtime exists when a particular server is shut down due to power or heat problems and we record such a failure in the support ticket system.

Hardware Guarantee - (Dedicated Server clients only!)
We guarantee the functioning of all leased hardware components and will replace any failed component at no cost to the customer. Hardware replacement will begin once we identify the cause of the problem. Hardware replacement is guaranteed to be complete within 2 hours of problem identification. This guarantee of 2 hours does not include additional actions such as software installations, OS reinstalling, or other data or backup services. In the event that it takes us more than 2 hours to replace faulty hardware, we will refund the customer 5% of the monthly fee for each 60 minutes of downtime (up to 100% of customer's monthly fee).

Hardware is defined as the Processor(s), RAM, hard disk(s), motherboard, NIC card and other related hardware included under the server lease.

Occasionally servers and systems must be brought down for routine maintenance and upgrades to ensure that your site will perform optimally. However, we strive to keep such service interruptions to a minimum, and, when possible, give you advance notice of scheduled any maintenance. Scheduled service outages do not qualify for this guarantee!

Additionally, this guarantee is your remedy for any unscheduled downtime of more than limits outlined above. Downtime must be confirmed by a staff member in our support system. Maximum credit given will not exceed the amount of the charge for the customer service with us. The credit will be applied to your invoice on your next due date. Downtime is measured from the time the customer records such failure in the support ticket system and until a resolution is provided in that ticket.

  30 days money back guarantee

We provide 30 days money back guarantee for all shared hosting accounts. If for any reason you request cancellation of such account within 30 days of the initial ordering of your account, you will be given a full refund of your account fees.

This guarantee does not include account setup fee, additional and/or extra add-on services provided (eg. Dedicated IP, Nameserver, etc), other additional and/or extra fees. This guarantee does not include domain registration and transfer fees. Domain registration and transfer are non-refundable.

Our refund policy does not apply to any additional items or services; this includes but not limited to Data Storage, Data Transfer. The refund policy DOES NOT cover dedicated hosting services.

Any request for cancellation must be received via support center and you will receive a confirmation upon the cancellation of your account. Cancellations over the telephone and informal email are not accepted.

Accounts cancelled/terminated due to violation of our TOS and AUP do not qualify for the 30-days money back guarantee. For example, if your account is cancelled due to spamming or IRC use, you will not be given any refund.

If you have previously cancelled an account and received a refund under this guarantee you cannot re-order and still be covered by this guarantee. All subsequent orders are final and no refunds will be given.

If you cancel your account a refund will be processed within approximately 7 days of your cancellation

The money back guarantee is a form of expression of confidence from us to our customers and as an assuarnce to our customers. It is not intended as a mechanism for you to get free hosting. Therefore if you cancel and then immediately sign up again because you loved us and just dont feel like paying for the first month, your order will be denied. You can pay for the services rendered or wait 30 days (in either case you will no longer be eligible for a refund).

If you pay by credit card or paypal and you raise a dispute against us upon or after cancellation with your credit card company or paypal then no refunds will be issued until the dispute is settled. Raising a dispute or requesting a chargeback will only slow down the process of receiving a refund.
