"
you guys have given me a nearly perfect year of service, and I think I only experienced one issue the whole year (which I think ended up Microsoft’s fault!)
"
"
thanks for the help, custom (1) backbone is great. Notice a big differ already. and i must agree its pretty damn close if not better for some people (vs. Level3 or InterNAP).
"
"
I will order three servers as well in 2-3 hour later.
They are simply very good!
"
"
This may sound strange. But about a half-year ago, I canceled my account with Sentris...and I went to another provider...1&1. To say the least, I've hated their service.
And I missed Sentris xD But 1&1 locked me into a 2-year contract...Their tech support sure won't help me, so I decided to contactyou guys, as awkward as it is ): If I ever can, I'll run back to you...

This Service Agreement governs customer's purchase and use, in
any manner, of all services, including Dedicated and Managed Hosting,
as described in the Order Form, ordered by customer and accepted
by Sentris.Com (Sentris.Com) and describes the terms and conditions
that apply to such purchase and use of the Services. Sentris.Com
reserves the right to change or modify any of the terms and conditions
contained in this Agreement, the Addendum and any policy or guideline
incorporated by reference at any time and from time to time in
its sole discretion, and to determine whether and when any such
changes apply to both existing or future customers. Any modification
will be effective upon posting of the revisions on our site.
Sentris.Com may post changes or modifications to referenced policies
and guidelines without notice to you. Your continued use of the
Services following Sentris.Com posting of any changes or modifications
will constitute your acceptance of such changes or modifications.
IF CUSTOMER DOES NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF ANY MODIFICATION, DO
NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE SERVICES AND IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY SENTRIS
NETWORK LLC. (Sentris.Com) OF YOUR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT
IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED BELOW.
1. This Agreement shall be for an "Initial Term" of thirty (30)
days for all services -- including Dedicated and Managed Hosting.
Customer agrees to all terms and conditions of services provided
by Sentris.Com, beginning upon receipt by fax, e-mail, or express
mail.
2. All charges for Services (including installation and professional
support fees) are non-refundable and must be paid in advance according
to the then current price applicable to the Services. Upon registration
for Dedicated and Managed hosting, customer must choose to pay
for the Services either by credit card or upon your receipt of
an invoice. If customer chooses to pay by credit card upon registering
for Dedicated Hosting services, customer thereby authorizes Sentris.Com
to charge your credit or debit card to pay for any charges that
may apply to your account. Customer agrees that Sentris.Com may
accumulate any supplemental charges, as described in the Order
Form, incurred by you in your use of the Services ("Supplemental
Charges") until such charges exceed $20 and then charge your card.
Customer must notify Sentris.Com of any changes to your card account
(including, without limitation, applicable account number or cancellation
or expiration of the account), your billing address, or any information
that may prohibit Sentris.Com from charging your account.
Sentris.Com may also send periodic invoices to customer for any
applicable Supplemental Charges associated with your use of the
Services. Customer agrees to pay to Sentris.Com the amount indicated
in each invoice by the due date reflected on the invoice. If customer
fails to pay any fees and taxes within three (3) days from applicable
due date for credit card or invoice payments, a late payment fee
of $10.00 become payable by you to Sentris.Com. In addition, customer's
failure to fully pay all fees and taxes within five (5) days after
the applicable due date will be deemed a material breach of this
Agreement, justifying Sentris.Com suspension of its performance
of the Services and/or termination of this Agreement. Customer
is responsible for any fees associated with reinstated of Services.
Any such termination would not relieve customer from paying past
due fees plus interest. In the event of collection enforcement,
customer will be liable for any costs associated with such collection,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, court
costs and collection agency fees.
3. This Agreement will be automatically renewed (the "Renewal
Term") at the end of the Initial Term for the same period as the
Initial Term unless you provide Sentris.Com with notice of termination
at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Initial Term
or the Renewal Term, whichever is then applicable. No refund,
no prorate, once payment is made or credit card's charged.
4. Initial payment is due upon activation of account. Activation
takes effect on the date of receipt of payment, and will be renewed
automatically for identical successive periods. Any changes made
to the customer's package shall be billed accordingly. No refund,
no prorate, once payment is made or credit card's charged.
5. All orders are subject to acceptance by Sentris.Com. An order
will be deemed accepted by our company when confirmation of the
order is sent to the customer. We may refuse to accept any order,
or delay acceptance awaiting completion of conditions the company
may choose to exercise. Such refusal of such conditions may not
be unreasonable, however, and Sentris.Com agrees to provide the
customer with reasonable notice by E-mail or fax of any intent
to delay or decline the acceptance of any order.
6. Sentris.Com reserves the right to suspend the customer's account
and services without notice should there be any problems with
the customers method of payment. This includes expired credit
cards, declined credit cards, inactive credit cards, and invalid
checks.
7. Bandwidth utilization will be monitored via MRTG and calculated
every 1st of the month by the following method: ((monthly average
in + monthly average out) kbps x 60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24
hours x 31 days) / (8 Bits x 1000 x 1000) = Total Data Transfer
(GB).
8. Customer will be responsible for all server management and
administration related issues. Available managed solutions include:
OS restore, software installation, hardware installation, kernel
/ apache recompile, and security (patches) update. Standard service
tickets will be processed within 3-5 days. Managed services fees
are charged at $50 per hour. For priority (immediate) services,
professional (remote hand) support is available at $75.00 per
hour with a one (1) hour minimum requirement. Critical matters, like a simple reboot,
will be handled in just 1-8 hours, not days. And OS reinstall will take 12-24 hours and hardware replacement will take 24-48 hours. Please contact us
on what constitutes critical matters.
9. Sentris.Com reserve the right to levy a penalty fee of $10.00
per violation of the Acceptable Use Policy and Service Agreement.
10. The data transfer per server is
listed on our site (if any) and on your order form.
In the event
of over-usage, customers will incurred a fee of $0.50 / 1GB for
the aforementioned server. 1GB = 3kbps. We bill you for your bandwidth
usage on every 1st day of the month.
11. Each server is assigned ten (10) (maybe more on certain plans) IPs at no charge. Additional
IPs are available for $1.00 each per month + $15 setup, in blocks of 10 IPs.
12. Cpanel licenses are provided by cPanel (not Sentris.Com).
Customers who request the aforementioned license keys will be
billed by Sentris.Com.
13. Each customer is required to utilize available network bandwidth
so as to allow for reasonable network performance by all Sentris.Com
users. Because bandwidth is a shared resource, excessive consumption
of network bandwidth can interfere with or completely prevent
normal network performance for other servers. Persistent, high-volume
use of bandwidth-intensive tools and applications can and does
prevent other users from being able to access the network.
Sentris.Com provides temporary burst (not sustained speed) up
to 100Mbps for each server as a courtesy only. Servers that use
more 10Mbps (20Mbps on plans with 4TB or more Bandwidth limit,
30Mbps on 7TB or more) for 20 minutes or longer and/or consistently causing
performance problems will be disconnected from the network to
prevent such activities from obstructing network access for other
users. Furthermore, customer will be responsible for all fees
related to excessive bandwidth usage.
II. Taxes
Sentris.Com shall not be liable for any taxes or other fees to
be paid in accordance with or related to purchases made from the
customer or Sentris.Com servers. Customer also agrees to take
full responsibility for all taxes and fees of any nature associated
with any such products sold.
III. Material & Products
1. Sentris.Com will exercise no control whatsoever over the content
of the information passing through the network or on the customer's
web sites. Sentris.Com makes no warranties or guarantees of any
kind, whether expressed or implied for the service it is providing.
Sentris.Com also disclaims any warranty of merchantability or
fitness for particular purpose and will not be responsible for
any damages that may be suffered by the customer, including loss
of data resulting from delays, non-deliveries or service interruptions
or gaps by any cause or errors or omissions of the customer. Sentris.Com
is not responsible for any loss, erasure, or corruption of customer's
data or files whatsoever. Use of any information obtained by way
of Sentris.Com is at the customer's own risk, and the company
specifically denies any responsibility for the accuracy or quality
of information obtained through its services. Network connectivity
represents the speed of connection to our network and does not
represent guarantees of available end to end bandwidth.
Sentris.Com expressly limits its damages to the customer for any
non-accessibility time or other down time to the pro-rate monthly
charge during the system unavailability. Sentris.Com specifically
denies any responsibilities for any damages arising from a consequence
of such unavailability. In the event that this material is not
"server-ready", Sentris.Com may, at its option and at any time,
reject this material, including but not limited to after it has
been put on our servers. Sentris.Com agrees to notify customer
immediately of our refusal of the material and afford customer
the opportunity to amend or modify the material to satisfy the
needs and/or requirements of the company. If the customer fails
to modify the material, as directed by Sentris.Com, within a reasonable
period of time, which shall be determined between the parties
themselves, the Agreement shall be terminated.
IV. Uptime Guarantee
Sentris.Com guarantees that our network will be available 100%
of the time in a given month excluding scheduled maintenance or
Customer generated outages created by failed equipment,
customer mis-configurations, exploited servers, or traffic in excess of the
maximum allowed by contract, or
any outages beyond our control (like from natural disaster or 3rd party).
In the event that
our network is inaccessible for more than one hour during any
thirty (30) days period,
upon the passage of sixty (60) continuous minutes of a Qualified Downtime Event, the Service Credit
shall equal three percent (3%) of the monthly fees payable by Customer in
respect of such products and services for the month in which
such Qualified Downtime Event occurred and thereafter during
the pendency of such unavailability, the Service Credit shall increase
by an additional three percent (3%) for each
continuous thirty (30) minutes of Qualified Downtime Event up to
a maximum of one hundred percent (100%) of monthly fees payable by
Customer in respect of such products and services for the
month in which such Qualified Downtime Event occurred.
Network
uptime includes functioning of all network infrastructure including
routers, switches and cabling. Network downtime exists when a
particular customer is unable to transmit and receive data and
Sentris.Com records such failure in the Sentris.Com trouble ticket
system. Network downtime is measured from the time the trouble
ticket is opened by a customer to the time the server is once
again able to transmit and receive data.
Service Credits are based directly on all equipment and/or services
affected by a network outage. Products, services or hardware not
related to the network outage do not qualify for a Service Credit.
Redundant Internet connectivity is measured as traffic routing into and out of a Customer's equipment through Sentris
Network out to internet backbone carriers and does not include third party
carrier latency or peering issues not utilized by Sentris.
Service Credits: means a credit, calculated in accordance with
this SLA, issued by Sentris to the Customer in respect of
products and services contracted for, but not delivered by
Sentris in accordance with the Agreement due to a Qualified
Downtime Event. Service Credits do not constitute a refund
in respect of any product or service and may not be paid for
or exchanged for cash or other monetary consideration or
value. Service Credits are not available to any Customer that
is more than thirty (30) days past due on any amount owing to
Sentris or any Customer that has breached the Agreement. Valid
approved Service Credits will appear as a credit for products
and services and be applied against the amounts owing in
respect of such products and services on the next billable
invoice following the month in which occurred the Qualified
Downtime Event giving rise to such Service Credit. In order
for a Customer to qualify for a Service Credit, the Customer
must (A) have purchased and paid for Sentris line of products
and services, (B) submit a request for a Service Credit in
writing to billing@sentris.com
within ten (10) days from the date of event giving rise the
requested Service Credit. Failure to request a Service Credit
in accordance with the terms of this SLA will result in an
automatic waiver of any rights to such Service Credit under
this SLA in respect of the event giving rise to such Service
Credit.
