Service Level Agreement (SLA)

Last Updated: April 5, 2025

This Service Level Agreement (the “SLA”) outlines the terms governing the use of the Hosting as provided under the Hosting Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Customer (“you”) and the Provider (“The Texas Data”, “we”, or “us”). This SLA is subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement. We reserve the right to modify, update, or amend this SLA at any time.

1. Overview

You have selected a Hosting with us, which involves the storage and operation of your hardware and software (“Hosting”) within our Facility. We will provide physical rack space, electrical power, and an internet connection to a switch port. You assume full responsibility for operating and managing your own hardware and software located within our Facility. We will make every commercially reasonable effort to deliver the Hosting as outlined in the plan(s) you purchase or to which you subscribe.

As used throughout this SLA, the following terms have the following meanings:

  • “Network” refers to the portion of our data center network that extends from your Hosting network egress point to our border router outbound port;
  • “Power” refers to UPSs, PDUs, generators, and associated cabling (but excludes the power supplies within your Hosting equipment);
  • “Scheduled Maintenance” refers to maintenance (for which we will notify you by email at least 14 calendar days in advance), which should not exceed 60 minutes in any given calendar month.

2. Service Availability

2.1. Target Availability

We will use reasonable efforts to provide the following levels of service availability on a monthly basis:

  • Network Availability(i.e., the percentage of time the network is operational during a calendar month, excluding scheduled maintenance and any Exclusions: 99.9%
  • Power Availability(i.e., the percentage of time power is available during a calendar month, excluding Scheduled Maintenance and any Exclusions): : 99.9%
2.2. Exclusions

The following events are excluded from service availability calculations:

2.3. Calculating Availability

To determine whether we have met the Target Availability, we will review event logs from our monitoring systems and corroborate this data with your reports to establish any actual downtime.

3. Service Availability Credits

3.1. Defined

If service availability for a given calendar month falls below the defined Target Availability, we will issue a credit (a "Service Availability Credit") to you. Credits will be validated as per the conditions of this SLA and calculated based on the table below:

Actual Availability Credit % of Monthly Fee
99.0% – 99.9%2.5%
98.0% – 98.9%5.0%
95.0% – 97.9%10.0%
90.0% – 94.9%50%

We rely on your designated contacts for providing assistance and are not obligated to respond to requests from unauthorized individuals.
