Sitepact JA’s Service Level Agreement sets out the performance you can expect from us. To the maximum extent applicable under national law and without affecting your rights as a Consumer, this SLA is your sole and exclusive remedy for downtime, or any network, software, or support failure.

    • 98.5% – 98% uptime: 1 month free hosting

You can check our website uptime status within the website dashboard area. You may contact our customer service team if you believe an SLA event has occurred. Compensation is limited to the length of your current Term (billing cycle), but cannot exceed twelve months.

Support and Maintenance

  1. We guarantee that your website will be updated on a consistent basis to ensure it is free from any known vulnerabilities. Installation procedures shall include good practice change and release management practices, that include proactive communication with the Customer.
  2. We guarantee that support will respond to all support requests within 24 hours. 
  3. Backups are made every 24 hours and kept for a period of 2 weeks. This will likely increase in the future and will be reflected here. We guarantee that these backups will be available for rapid restoration in the event of any hardware or software failure.
