  3. Service Guarantee
    247 WEBCASTING warrants that it will make reasonable efforts within industry standards to provide System Availability of at least 99%.  “System Availability” is the sum of hours that the system is available divided by total hours in the measurement period, excluding from total hours any scheduled maintenance.  System Availability is measured on a calendar year-to-date basis based on data gathered by 247 WEBCASTING’s monitoring systems via a process by which verifiable attempts shall be made periodically to access a standard URL within the 247 WEBCASTING system.  If such access test succeeds, then the system shall be deemed as available.

In any case where the Client independently determines that System Availability has been measured at less than the Service Guarantee, the Client may communicate this problem in writing to 247 WEBCASTING, stating in detail the exact nature of the problem.  247 WEBCASTING will provide to the Client a plan of remedy (the “Remedy Plan”), within 15 (fifteen) business days from its receipt of such notice.  The Client will have the right to review and discuss the Remedy Plan with 247 WEBCASTING for a reasonable period of time.  Upon mutual agreement to the Remedy Plan, 247 WEBCASTING will then execute that Remedy Plan.

If 247 WEBCASTING should fail to provide a Remedy Plan within that time period, the Client may provide written notice to 247 WEBCASTING stating that the Client believes 247 WEBCASTING has materially breached (the “Breach”) its Terms with the Client.  Client may then terminate these Terms only if 247 WEBCASTING fails to remedy the Breach within 30 (thirty) business days from the date that 247 WEBCASTING confirms receipt of such written notice from the Client of the Breach.
