UMIS Network Availability Service Level Guarantee
UMIS' Network Availability Service Level Guarantee ("Guarantee") is that the UMIS network shall be available 99.95% of the time. The UMIS network is the combination of UMIS operated equipment, servers, circuits, and other data transmission. UMIS takes network feeds from many different tier one Internet and telecom providers. Guarantee shall be measured based on the number of minutes that UMIS network was not available as determined by UMIS based on its figures which in turn are based on the following conditions ("Unavailability").

North American Network Availability 99%
European Network Availability 99.6%

If UMIS determines that the Network is Unavailable for one (1) or more consecutive hours during any calendar month, UMIS, upon the customer's request, shall credit the customer's monthly invoice the prorated charges of one (1) day of the UMIS service fee for each consecutive hour, up to a maximum of seven (7) days per month. UMIS Latency Service Level Guarantee ("Guarantee") is based on an average round-trip transmission between UMIS designated POPs for the UMIS services listed below. Latency shall be measured by UMIS averaging sample measurements taken during a calendar month between such backbone POPs.

Latency Service Level Guarantee Times are:
Asia Pacific-North America 140 milliseconds or less
North America 85 milliseconds or less
Transatlantic 120 milliseconds or less
European 85 milliseconds or less

Should UMIS fail to meet the Guarantee in two consecutive calendar months, Customer is entitled to a one (1) day prorated credit for the UMIS Service Fee for the second month and an additional one (1) day prorated credit for any consecutive month in which the Guarantee is not met.


UMIS Packet Success Service Level Guarantee
UMIS packet success goal is based on the successful delivery of packets through its providers IP backbone in the regions listed below. Unsuccessful packets are deemed to be those dropped due to transmission errors or router overload before exiting the providers regional IP backbone.

Asia Pacific to N.America 99% packet success
N.American IP backbone 99% packet success
Transatlantic IP backbone 99% packet success
European IP backbone 99% packet success

The measurement consists of 50 100-byte pings sent every 15 minutes. A daily average shall be calculated using these 96 samples. The daily measurements shall be averaged to calculate a monthly average. Should UMIS fail to meet the Guarantee in two consecutive calendar months, the Customer shall be entitled to a one (1) day pro-rata credit for the UMIS Service Fee for the second month, and an additional one (1) day pro-rated credit for any consecutive month in which the Guarantee is not met.
