reach 90 days past due. Accounts that are not collectable by Ravand Cybertech
may be turned over to an outside collection agency for collection. If your

payment of all accrued charges, plus reasonable interest and any collection
fees.

can be interrupted for many reasons other than the negligence of the Company,

ascertain. Therefore, Customer agrees that the Company shall not be liable for
any damages arising from such causes beyond the direct and exclusive control of

new domains will be set up and entered into our DNS servers within 3 to 5
business days. Due to unforeseen complications, however, this process may
sometimes require up to 7 business days. All domain name registration fees (as
furnished by the Company) must be paid by the Customer in full prior to the
actual registration of the domain.
Transfer of Domains: New web hosting accounts which involve
the transfer of a domain from another provider to Ravand, will require a minimum
of seven (7) days to be set up and entered into our DNS servers. In some cases,
such transfers may take up to sixty (60) days. Due to the unpredictable nature
of the transfer process, no guarantees are made regarding the amount of time a
specific transfer may take. All domain transfers are subject to the Company's
registration fees. If the customer cancels service during the transfer period
for any reason, all charges are considered earned.
E-mail Support Boundaries:
Ravand, provides technical support to our customers via telephone and on-line
email. The Company limits its technical support to its area of expertise. The
following are the guidelines for providing support: Ravand Cybertech provides
support related to the Customer's sites housed on the Company's servers. Ravand
Cybertech only provides support for incoming email issues. Ravand Cybertech does
not provide support for outgoing (SMTP) email issues. Ravand Cybertech does not
offer technical support for application specific issues, such as cgi, php
programming, ASP, ASP.NET, html, coding issues or any other such issue. This
support issue will necessarily incur extra charges billed at the standard hourly
rate of 65$/ hour.
Uptime
Guarantee:
Customers are guaranteed 99.9% uptime each month. The Company delegates
approximately 2 hours / month on server maintenance during which downtime may
occur and this maintenance time is not included in our uptime guarantee.
Approximately 43.2 minutes of downtime, out of scheduled maintenance is allowed
based on an average month.
Predetermined percentage refunds will be applied based upon total downtime for
the month. Downtime refunds are made on an individual basis per customer.
Customer must submit an email and a telephone call for any downtime issues.
Total downtime for the month is calculated using the time when we are initially
notified of the problem until the time that the Company network issues are
resolved. Percentage refunds are offered based on the following uptime
percentages:
99.9% or above = 0% discount
99.8% - 99.89% = 5% discount
99.7% - 99.79% = 15% discount
99.6% - 99.69% = 20% discount
Lower than 99.6% = 50% discount
The percentage off applies to a monthly hosting charge. Monthly customers will
receive the credit toward the subsequent month of hosting. Bi-annual customers
will receive the credit on their next renewal date. Credit will be applied
toward the calculated value of one month of hosting service - calculated value
can be computed by dividing the bi-annual hosting fee by six). Customers may
also use the credit toward other services offered by the Company.
