that could effect your site in a shared hosting environment, or inability to obtain
raw materials, supplies, or power used in or equipment needed for provision of this
SLA;

by customer), including, without limitation, custom scripting or coding (e.g., CGI,

of the Services in breach of DNK Web Solutions Terms and Conditions and Acceptable
Use Policy;
- e-mail or webmail delivery and transmission;
- DNS (Domain Name Server) Propagation.
- outages elsewhere on the Internet that hinder access to your account. DNK Web Solutions
is not responsible for browser or DNS caching that may make your site appear inaccessible

considered under the control of DNK Web Solutions: DNK Web Solutions server links
to the Internet, DNK Web Solutions routers, and DNK Web Solutions servers.

within ten (10) business days after you experienced no Web Site Availability. You
must request credit by sending a Customer Support Ticket from our Customer Portal
by logging in at https://www.dnkwebsolutions.com/Login.aspx with your user id and
Password. For verification you must include the dates and times of the unavailability
of your Web site, and such other customer identification requested by DNK Web Solutions.
Credits will usually be applied within sixty (60) days of your credit request. Credit
to your account shall be your sole and exclusive remedy in the event that there
is no Web Site Availability. DNK Web Solutions is not an insurance agency.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the total amount credited to customer
in a particular month under this SLA shall not exceed the total hosting fee paid
by customer for such month for the affected Services. Credits are exclusive of any
applicable taxes charged to customer or collected by DNK Web Solutions and are customer's
sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any failure or deficiency in the Web Site
Availability of customer's Web site.
