Don't Miss The Limited-Time Savings : Savings 15%​

Service Level Agreement (SLA)

In compliance with Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c)(2), all notifications of claimed copyright infringement on the Digital Dynamo system or website must be directed only to our Designated Agent listed below.

1. Network Availability and Uptime

Digital Dynamo guarantees 100% Backbone Network Uptime with a minimum of 99% sustained Packet Throughput (PT). Network performance is monitored continuously via measurements between various Digital Dynamo Points of Presence (POPs) across the U.S. domestic backbone.

A. Network Availability

Network availability refers to a Customer’s ability to access the Digital Dynamo Backbone Network.

B. Latency Monitoring

Latency is measured by round-trip times between core routers within Digital Dynamo’s POP facilities across the continental U.S. We guarantee average round-trip latency not to exceed 120 milliseconds (ms). Failure to meet this standard will result in service credits (see §6).

C. Definition of Network Unavailability

Network Unavailability is defined as:

  • Packet loss exceeding 50% for 15 consecutive minutes, or
  • Packet loss exceeding 1% for 2 or more consecutive hours

Planned network maintenance, customer-caused outages, or disruptions outside of Digital Dynamo’s control are not considered Network Unavailability.

D. Reporting Requirements

Customers must report downtime lasting more than 15 consecutive minutes within 48 hours to our Support Center. If verified, we will issue a pro-rated service credit (see §6). Credit is capped at one full day’s value per 24-hour period.

E. Point-to-Point Circuits

Downtime caused by a Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) affecting a Provider-ordered local loop circuit qualifies for credit only on Internet Port access fees, not local loop charges.

F. Frame Relay and DSL Services

Downtime caused by third-party LEC Frame Relay or DSL services is not covered under this SLA.

2. Hardware & Software Monitoring

Hardware not owned by Digital Dynamo is not directly monitored. However, a Ping Test is performed every 300 seconds to one IP address per customer account. If two consecutive pings fail, the Customer is notified per §3. Digital Dynamo takes no corrective action unless a Maintenance Agreement is in place.

3. Outage Notifications

If an outage is confirmed (via a failed second ping), Digital Dynamo will notify the Customer’s designated contact within 15 minutes via email, phone, or pager. Customers may also contact our 24/7 Support Group directly via our Single Point of Contact phone number.

4. Access to Statistics

Customers can view public uptime and latency data via our website. For additional reporting or account-specific usage stats, separate agreements may be made to provide private dashboards.

5. Installation Guarantee

If Digital Dynamo fails to meet the standard installation interval for a fully billed service (non-discounted), the Customer will receive 50% of the installation fee as credit, excluding local loop charges.

If an expedited install level is missed (e.g., Rush), the fee will be downgraded and credited to reflect the actual interval delivered (e.g., Standard). This guarantee applies only if:

  • The account is in good standing
  • The delay was not caused by the customer or due to a force majeure event

6. Service Warranties and Credits

A. Downtime Credit

If Digital Dynamo fails to provide connectivity to the Internet for more than 15 consecutive minutes, the Customer is eligible to receive one (1) day of pro-rated credit for all bandwidth-related charges. Maximum credit is seven (7) days in any calendar month.

Scheduled maintenance is not considered downtime.

B. Packet Loss / Latency Credits

If packet loss exceeds SLA thresholds or latency exceeds 120ms round-trip time between any two U.S.-based POPs:

  • Digital Dynamo will investigate the cause
  • If the issue lies within our control, we will resolve it within 2 hours
  • If caused externally, we will notify the third party and attempt resolution with standard best efforts

i. If we fail to resolve the issue within the timeframes above:

Customer receives one (1) day of bandwidth credit for every 2 hours the issue persists — up to seven (7) days max per month

C. Credit Request Process

To receive credit, the Customer must notify Digital Dynamo within two (2) business days of becoming eligible. Failure to do so forfeits the right to credit.

D. Credit Limits

Credits are not cumulative. The Customer may only receive one maximum credit per event and up to 7 days of credit per month. Credits apply only to paid services, not trial or complimentary periods.

E. Right to Terminate for Chronic Downtime

If a Customer would qualify for 15 or more days of credit in one month (based on three or more qualifying events) or if a single qualifying outage lasts more than 8 hours, the Customer may terminate the affected service without penalty, by notifying Digital Dynamo within 5 days after the end of the calendar month. Termination will be effective 30 days after notice is received.
