SLA CLAIMS AND EXCEPTIONS TO COVERAGE CLAIMING AN SLA CREDIT

In order to initiate a claim for a service credit, Customer must contact PN’s customer support department within seven (7) business days after the end of the month for which credit is requested. The service credit request must include the following information (a) customer name and contact information (b) the date and time that the problem started and was resolved (c) a description of the characteristics of the claimed outage or failed metric (d) ticket numbers or other documentation demonstrating that the customer notified PN of the claimed actionable issue PN will notify the customer via e-mail of the resolution of the request. If PN rejects the request for an SLA credit, a reason for the rejection will be detailed. If the request is approved, PN will issue all SLA credits to the Customer’s account that will appear on the next invoice issued.

In no circumstances will the total monthly credit exceed the total monthly charge actually paid by the customer for service during the month in question. Service credits will be credited against a Customer’s account and may not be received in the form of a refund, except that if any credits remain unused at the termination or expiration of the Agreement, PN will provide such credits to Customer in the form of a cash payment.
