Credit Table

The SLA credit table applies to all hosting plans provided by Rhye Media.

All availability figures are calculated off a 30 day month, and shall be rounded up to one decimal point.

Credits are only payable to customers if the following conditions are met:

2. you hold either a hosting account, reseller hosting account, business hosting account with us;

1. notify us of the problem, including a thorough description, during the outage, or as soon after as can be reasonably expected;
2. open a support ticket through the approved channels with Rhye Media within 7 days of the fault occurring requesting credit as set out in the table above.

Credits will be applied in the form of credits placed on the user’s account which will be automatically deducted off the customer’s next invoice. Credits will not be paid out to the customer in any other way. No credit will be paid if your account is not up to date.

Credits will be paid for multiple accounts owned by the customer that were disrupted by the outage, provided the customer informs Rhye Media of the domain names for all accounts that were affected.
