SERVICE UPTIME
ABIHosting's target uptime for the Service is 99.9% of the time in every calendar month and ABIHosting provides you with a 99.7% Critical Services Uptime Guarantee as defined below. If ABIHosting fails to meet the 99.7% Critical Services Uptime Guarantee you will be entitled to receive a credit in accordance with the Credit Table below if: (a) you apply for the credit within sixty (60) days of the last day of the month in which the 99.7% Critical Services Uptime Guarantee was not met, and (b) more than 20% of ABIHosting customers are affected. Such credits may be deducted from amounts otherwise payable by you to ABIHosting hereunder. In the event there is a dispute regarding credits, ABIHosting reserves the right to make the final decision about whether credits will be provided to you. If the availability for any three (3) month period is less than 98.00%, you will have the right to terminate your Services Agreement with ABIHosting.
1. "99.7% Critical Services Uptime Guarantee" means that ABIHosting guarantees that Down Time with respect to the Critical Services shall not exceed 0.3% of the time during a rolling two (2) month period (computed by reference to a 31 day month).
2. "Critical Services" means the email services, web hosting services, DNS services, and the ABIHosting network to the extent that such services do not include Closed Source Applications, as defined in Section 4.

– downtime resulting from misuse by End-Users (as defined in the Terms of Use)
– errors or non-performance of third-party software, including without limitation, Microsoft Access, .asp, .jsp, Cold Fusion or Miva Merchant;
