The Client shall pay the price for the Services as set out in the Schedule. An initial payment is required before any set-up work is carried out. SWBROADBAND Ltd invoices for regular payments monthly in advance, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The price for the Service covers Bandwidth as stated in the Schedule. If the Client exceeds this limit then SWBROADBAND Ltd reserves the right to make additional charges for usage above the limit at its then prevailing charge rate. SWBROADBAND Ltd will endeavour to let the Client know if its bandwidth use exceeds the agreed level, however it is the Client's responsibility to monitor the bandwidth being used by it from time to time using the Control Panel.

Where the Services are purchased with a monthly payment plan comprising a set up fee, this fee is payable immediately. Where a long term contract is purchased, the set up fee is included within the total payment.

The price and all other amounts due under the Schedule shall be paid by the Client by the due date as specified in SWBROADBAND Ltd's invoice. Time for payment shall be of the essence. Payment shall only be deemed received by SWBROADBAND Ltd upon receipt of cleared funds. Payment shall be made in full without any abatement, set off or deduction on any grounds.

SWBROADBAND Ltd will insure all servers and associated equipment against the risks of accidental damage (including fire and theft) for as long as such equipment is under SWBROADBAND Ltd’s control, and located at SWBROADBAND Ltd’s data centre at Spectrum House, Clivemont Road, Maidenhead. SWBROADBAND Ltd will not be responsible for any loss of data and/or software from any Client’s server or associated equipment. The insurance of any loss of data and/or software is not part of this Agreement. SWBROADBAND Ltd does not insure its clients against loss of data and/or software or any consequential loss arising from a loss of data and/or software. All insurance arranged for clients’ servers and equipment will be subject to the terms and conditions of the insurance policy arranged by SWBROADBAND Ltd at the time of any loss or damage.

Service Level Agreement

This SLA applies to Services where the agreement for the Service specifically references this SLA. The objective of this SLA is to document the availability of the Service that SWBROADBAND Ltd is to achieve. This does not constitute any additional liability to SWBROADBAND Ltd, but instead a self-assumed obligation towards the Client. Under the conditions below SWBROADBAND Ltd offers to pay the Client service credits if the availability defined below is not met.

SWBROADBAND Ltd shall guarantee the Network Availability and Power Availability will be 99.99% in any calendar month, subject to exclusions as defined below. If SWBROADBAND Ltd fails to meet this guarantee a credit shall be available to the Client as defined below.

The Network Availability and Power Availability calculation shall exclude periods when outages arise from, or are otherwise indirectly caused by:

  • Outage periods due to any cause other than faults by SWBROADBAND Ltd, including faults or negligence of the Client or problems associated with equipment connected on the Client's side of SWBROADBAND Ltd delivery point,

  • In case that the Client’s equipment should cause negative effects on the performance, quality and/or operation of the SWBROADBAND Ltd Network, SWBROADBAND Ltd will proceed to disconnect the link, for benefit of the rest of users of the SWBROADBAND Ltd Network. This disconnection won’t be cause of penalty under the SLA. SWBROADBAND Ltd will notify the Client as soon as possible about this issue in order for the Client to repair the problems.

  • Outage periods reported by the Client in which no fault is observed or confirmed by SWBROADBAND Ltd,

  • Any fault period during which service is suspended under provision in this Agreement,

  • Downtime when SWBROADBAND Ltd technical staff cannot have access, when the Client is requested to do so for the purpose of investigating the problem and restoring the service, to Client premises and equipment pertaining to the service in case the service should include the management of equipment on the customer site by SWBROADBAND Ltd,

  • The Client requesting SWBROADBAND Ltd to test Client connection although no fault has been detected and/or reported by SWBROADBAND Ltd,

  • The Client requesting SWBROADBAND Ltd to upgrade the capacity of the service, if this operation results in an outage.

  • During Scheduled Maintenance affecting the Services as defined above.

  • Performance degradations and service loss due to Denial Of Service attacks or other unlawful attacks generated inside the Client's network or executed against users inside the Client's network or the Client network infrastructure, will be excluded from SLA calculation as it is within the Client's responsibility to put in place the relevant protection mechanisms inside its network to protect itself and its clients. Nevertheless SWBROADBAND Ltd is available to support the customer by implementing appropriate measures on the SWBROADBAND Ltd Network, such as limiting on ICMP bandwidth, rate limiting over clients’ ports, implementing filters or black-holing routes.

Neither Party will be obliged to carry out any obligation under this Agreement where performance of such obligation is prevented by the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event. No commitment from SWBROADBAND Ltd applies in case of Force Majeure.

Should the Client not have access to the Services as defined above due to less than 99.99% Network Availability and Power Availability, SWBROADBAND Ltd shall credit the Client 0.5 days service credit for each hour when the service is not available, subject to a maximum credit in any one month of 50% of the monthly fee for the contracted service. The credit applies to the contracted service. The Client shall not be entitled to any credits under this SLA if any payment of the price for the Services is overdue under the terms of this Agreement. The credit shall be made for the element of the Services that were not available, it will not be made for the whole service. (E.G. If a dedicated server and backup service are ordered, but the backup service is not available for a period of time, the credit will be calculated based on the price of the backup service, not the combined price of the dedicated server and backup service.) Any credit is subject to the Client notifying SWBROADBAND Ltd within seven working days in writing. This Client agrees the service credits due under this SLA are its sole remedy against SWBROADBAND Ltd for any non-availability of the Services.

Consequential losses

SWBROADBAND Ltd is not in a position to assess any consequential loss which the Client may suffer as a result of any failure of the Services, or any other default on the part of SWBROADBAND Ltd and it would be impractical and uneconomic for SWBROADBAND Ltd to insure against such liability. Accordingly it is the responsibility of the Client to properly assess any consequential loss that it and/or its clients may suffer and to obtain and maintain adequate insurance in relation to such losses. The Client shall also ensure that it has adequate insurance cover in relation to any loss or damage which may be caused to SWBROADBAND Ltd and/or its clients through the negligence or default of the Client, its employees, agents, or equipment. The Client shall, as and when requested, provide SWBROADBAND Ltd with such evidence as SWBROADBAND Ltd may require in relation to the Client’s insurance.

Indemnity

The Client agrees to fully indemnify and keep SWBROADBAND Ltd, its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, partners and employees fully indemnified from and against all actions, demands, costs (on a full indemnity basis), losses, penalties, damages, liability, claims and expenses (including but not limited to legal fees) whatsoever incurred by it or them and arising from any of the following: (i) the Clients breach of this Agreement or its negligence or other act, omission or default; (ii) the operation or break down of any equipment or software owned or used by the Client but not the Hardware and/or Software; (iii) the Clients use or misuse of the Services; (iv) the Client infringing (whether innocently or knowingly) third party rights (including without limit IPRs).

Disclaimer

Nothing in the Agreement shall exclude or limit the liability of SWBROADBAND Ltd for death or personal injury resulting from its negligence or fraudulent misrepresentation nor affect the statutory rights of consumers.

The Client acknowledges that the allocation of risk in this Agreement reflects the price paid for the Services, Hardware and Software and that it is not within the control of SWBROADBAND Ltd how or for what purposes they are used. If any exclusion or limit of liability in this Agreement is held to be invalid and SWBROADBAND Ltd becomes liable for loss or damage that may lawfully be limited then such liability shall be limited to the amount paid by the Client for the Services.

SWBROADBAND Ltd shall have no liability to the Client for any loss arising from any material, data or instructions supplied whether digitally or otherwise by the Client or on its behalf which is incomplete, inaccurate, illegible, out of sequence or in the wrong form or arising from late arrival or non-arrival or any other fault by the Client or on its behalf.

No action, claim or demand arising out of or in connection with this Agreement may be brought by the Client against SWBROADBAND Ltd more than one year after the cause of action has occurred.

SWBROADBAND Ltd is not responsible for any delay, malfunction, non performance and/or other degradation of performance of any of the Services, Hardware or Software caused by or resulting from any alteration, modification and/or amendments due to changes and specifications requested or implemented by the Client whether or not beyond those already supplied.

Neither SWBROADBAND Ltd nor anyone else who has been involved in the creation, production or supply of the Services, Hardware or Software shall be liable to the Client or any other person for any loss in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty) or otherwise howsoever and whatever the cause thereof by reason of or in connection with this Agreement or the Services, Hardware or Software for any: (i) economic loss of any kind whatsoever, or (ii) loss of profit, data, business contracts, revenues or anticipated savings, or (iii) damage to the Client's reputation or goodwill, or (iv) loss resulting from any claim made by any third party, or (v) special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any nature whatsoever, and the Client shall indemnify SWBROADBAND Ltd from and against any claim which may be made against SWBROADBAND Ltd in respect thereof. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or of liability for consequential or incidental damages and therefore the above may not apply to the Client.
