DEFINITIONS:
Host = Dollie® and/or its Parent Company
Owner, User, You, Your = You, The paying Customer.
Scheduled Maintenance = maintenance (e.g. repairs, modifications, or upgrades) that is announced at least 48 hours in advance;
This Service Level Agreement (the “SLA”) is an integral part of your agreement with Host for the provision of services (collectively the “Services”) set forth on the Service and Pricing Order Form.
This SLA defines the terms of our responsibility with respect to the Services that we provide (the Service Commitments) and your remedies in the event that we fail to meet these Service Commitments. This SLA and the refunds set forth herein (the Service Credits) represent Host’s sole obligation and your sole remedy for our failure to meet such Service Commitments.
Your WordPress website is unique to you. You’ve chosen the plugins, the theme, and made any manner of customization to it. Your audience is also unique to your site. They may purchase goods, browse articles, or vote in an online poll. These choices and decisions are all factors that influence how your site may perform: Random site A may easily handle millions of page views, while Random site B may barely handle 10 visitors concurrently before suffering performance problems. Each site will perform differently under identical hosting plans. Therefore in nearly every case: A 503 error on your site is not an outage of our service.
There are some cases where our service would be to blame though: we misconfigured something, our automation failed, or there is a bug in our code. This distinction between your site and our service is important to understand in the context of an SLA.
We at Dollie will do everything we can to help you succeed, respond to issues that may arise in a prompt and professional manner, and offer guidance and advice on best practices as it pertains to WordPress performance and security.
Parties understand that Host utilizes various Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) “Cloud” vendors for some or all aspects of computing, digital storage, and network services used in the course of delivering the Dollie service to customers. These Vendors may include but are not limited to OVH, Amazon Web Services (https://aws.amazon.com/), Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and/or other public cloud vendors chosen by Host.
Parties agree that the use of cloud IaaS vendors has inherent and implied risks of disruptions in availability, performance, uptime and other aspects of use including but not limited to potential data loss, security issues, and government agency monitoring or interference whether known or unknown. Accepted industry best practices in systems architecture design, information security, and business process have been employed by Host as is commercially feasible to mitigate the possible effects these disruptions may have on our service and our clients use thereof. No guarantee, SLA, warranty, or assurance is offered or implied by Host as it may relate to those events that are or may be reasonably determined outside of Host’s influence or control. You recognize that the Internet is comprised of thousands upon thousands of autonomous systems that are beyond the control of Host. This SLA and the 99.9% Service Availability Commitment cover the provision of access by Host to the global internet “cloud”. Routing anomalies, asymmetries, inconsistencies and failures of the Internet or IaaS vendor outside of the control of Host can and will occur and such instances shall not be considered any failure of the 99.9% Service Availability Commitment.
The service commitments under this SLA are as follows:
99.9% AVAILABILITY GUARANTEE
Host guarantees our service will be available and free of material defects for use by customers at minimum 99.9% of the hours in a calendar month. In the event that our service does not experience 99.9% availability in a given month (see Excluded Events below), the Host will reimburse Client for loss of service with a refund of monthly payment as a percentage of downtime in excess of 0.1% of total hours in a calendar month.
BACKUPS
Host runs nightly backup for each customer. The retention period is 14 days. User may log in to their control panel at any time and click to download a full copy of their site’s files and database. For Enterprise plans, users may request additional backups or offsite.
SERVICE CREDIT REQUESTS
All SLA claims must be filed in writing to Host Accounting (Host) within 7 days of the incident. The support ticket must include all relevant information, including server name, IP address, full description of the incident, and any logs (if applicable). All SLA credits will be issued as credits against future invoices for services.
In order to qualify for Service Credits, you must be current on all payment obligations, not be in violation of the Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy or any other policies and procedures of Host.
Total cumulative Service Credits during any given month shall not exceed your monthly fee for those Services affected.
Host proactively monitors network uptime, infrastructure uptime and hardware availability. The results of these monitoring systems shall provide the sole and exclusive determination of network uptime, infrastructure uptime and hardware availability.
EXCLUDED EVENTS
No Service Credits will be given for service interruptions: (i) caused by the action or failure to act by you or your personnel, (ii) due to failure of any equipment provided by you, (iii) which are the result of scheduled maintenance, (iv) due to a force majeure event, (v) for which you are entitled to a Service Credit for the same or contemporaneous Service Commitment failure or (vi) resulting from your breach of the Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy or any other policies and procedures of Host (vii) any issue arising as a result of failure, outage, negligence, or other disruption of service at the underlying IaaS provider.
RIGHT TO MODIFY
Host may modify any aspect of this SLA with or without prior notice. Should you wish to terminate the Service as a result of such modification, you may do so by sending a termination notice to Host any time prior to the effective date of such modification. Absent such termination notice, the modified SLA shall apply from the effective date for as long as you continue to retain Services from Host.

Host may terminate your Services if your email address or related IP number(s) is/are blacklisted by any third party, or Host is retaliated against as a result of your use of the mail system, regardless of whether you are in breach of this AUP or are otherwise at fault.
USENET SPAM
The use of dedicated services to send, receive, forward, or post UseNet unsolicited email or posts is a direct violation of Host’s AUP. This includes UseNet services located within the Host network or unrelated third party networks.
HOST ADMINISTRATIVE ACCESS
You, the customer, acknowledges that to facilitate efficient server management, inventory and related activities, the Host servers may include a Host administrative account and password and/or a Host daemon.

If you resell, rent or otherwise allow third parties to use any Host Services, you are responsible for use of the Services by such third parties in violation of this AUP to the same extent as if you were using Host Services yourself.

DISCLOSURE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT
Occasionally, Host is required by law to submit customer information to law enforcement officials when presented with a valid subpoena or order from a court or governmental entity. Information requested is disclosed as directed pursuant to the subpoena or order.

RESOLUTION PROCESS FOR VIOLATIONS OF HOST’S ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY
The ultimate goal of this AUP by Host is to balance the rights of our customers while ensuring full compliance of this AUP. The goal of our Resolution Process is to mitigate service interruptions while resolving potential violations under this AUP. Our sales, support and abuse staff is dedicated to working with the customer in resolving potential violations, and are available via phone or email. The resolution process below provides the process for resolving all potential violations. Timing for resolution differs according to the degree of the violation, the nature of the violation, involvement of law enforcement, involvement of third party litigation, or other related factors. Overall, Host is dedicated to working with the customer in resolving all potential violations prior to any service interruptions.
STEP 1: FIRST ALLEGED VIOLATION OF AUP:
A ticket will be generated under Host to obtain the customer’s master user account with information regarding the potential violation of Host’s AUP. This is often a fact-finding email requiring further information or notifying customer of the potential violation and the required actions to resolve the issue.
STEP 2: ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF VIOLATION OF AUP:
A ticket is generated under the customer’s master user account with information specific to the violation. This ticket will also include any additional facts about the situation and will notify customer of the action required to resolve the violation.
STEP 3: VIOLATION OF AUP DISREGARDED, NOT PROPERLY ADDRESSED, OR CONTINUING VIOLATION IF A TICKET HAS BEEN DISREGARDED, NOT PROPERLY ADDRESSED, OR RESOLVED BY THE CUSTOMER FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD OF TIME:
Host engineers will turn the public network port to the specified dedicated services off. Access to the dedicated services may then be achieved through the secure private service network for customer resolution. As soon as the violation is addressed, the public access shall be restored and service will continue as normal.
STEP 4: FAILURE TO ADDRESS VIOLATION AND RESOLVE VIOLATION:
If customer fails to address the violation AND resolve the violation, a suspension of services may occur in Host’s sole discretion. This is a last resort for Host and only results when the customer completely fails to participate in Host’s resolution process. A permanent suspension of services includes reclamation of all dedicated services and the destruction of customer’s data.
Disclaimer: Host retains the right, at its sole discretion, to refuse new service to any individual, group, or business. Host also retains the right to discontinue service to customers with excessive and/or multiple repeated violations.

SLACK CHANNEL USAGE POLICY
Dollie prides itself in delivering exceptional service to each and every customer. Sometimes, we’ll even provide access to a private Slack channel for low latency, collaborative assistance during onboarding, for a specific project, or website launch. This is unparalleled in our industry and speaks to our level of commitment to you.
As you can imagine, this approach can be difficult to scale when guest channels are unregulated and can disrupt our normal support channels. The spirit of our courtesy Slack channel is to help you get your project underway, coordinate during those moments where a ticket or our regular live chat just doesn’t cut it, and to be able to do so in a group context. Eventually, the channel must be archived.
This document outlines our policy for usage of Dollie’s Guest Slack channels. We appreciate your understanding and adherence to these guidelines.
CHANNEL PERSISTENCE
All Slack guest channels have a default shelf life of thirty (30) days. If your project, website launch, or any other originating reason for the channel requires more time than that, you may request an extension by contacting us.
If you would like to keep your Slack channel on an ongoing basis with no set time limit, please open a new support ticket as the account owner to discuss the available options. We understand that some cases warrant a persistent channel so we are willing to work with you in a way that will make this a manageable long term solution.
GUEST LIMIT
There’s a limit of three (3) guests. You may request the guests to be changed, but it cannot exceed a total of 3.
HOURS OF OPERATION
Our Slack hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. UTC, Monday through Friday.
Note: We provide 24/7 continuous support via support ticket for all customers for all issues.
While at times you may get a response outside of these hours via Slack, we request that you use our support ticket system. We will make sure to follow up with you as soon as possible!
TOPICS START WITH TICKETS
The Slack channel is not a front door to our Support and Engineering teams, its purpose is to make communication more efficient regarding an existing support ticket.
By default, we request that you use our normal support ticketing and live chat system (tickets are generated from all live chats) found within https://atomic.Dollie.com/. If you have team members that need access to this live chat system, our brand new Collaborator Management feature is the perfect way to get them added to Atomic with the appropriate level of access. Once you’re in, you can file tickets to gain assistance from our 24/7 Support Team. If a particular ticket warrants a discussion over Slack, we’re happy to work with you over that channel during our normal hours.
