Service Level Agreement
Our 99.9% monthly availability commitment, how downtime is measured, the automatic credit schedule and what is excluded.
This SLA applies to every RDPForge instance on an active, paid service.
The commitment
We commit to 99.9% availability per instance per calendar month. In a 30-day month, 0.1% corresponds to 43 minutes and 12 seconds. This contractual commitment is separate from measured historical uptime.
How availability is measured
For this SLA, an instance is unavailable when it fails ICMP and TCP reachability checks from at least three of four external probe locations for two consecutive one-minute intervals, and the cause lies within our infrastructure. Provide the affected service, timing and relevant evidence when reporting an incident.
Partial degradation — elevated latency or packet loss above 2% sustained for more than 15 minutes — counts as unavailability at 25% weighting.
Credit schedule
| Monthly availability | Downtime in a 30-day month | Credit |
|---|---|---|
| 99.9% – 100% | up to 43 m | None |
| 99.5% – 99.89% | 43 m – 3 h 36 m | 10% of the monthly fee |
| 99.0% – 99.49% | 3 h 36 m – 7 h 12 m | 25% |
| 95.0% – 98.99% | 7 h 12 m – 36 h | 50% |
| Below 95.0% | more than 36 h | 100% of the monthly fee |
Credits apply to the affected instance only, are calculated on its effective monthly rate, and are capped at 100% of one month's fee per calendar month.
Automatic application
Eligible credits are applied automatically against the next invoice under this policy. They apply to the affected instance and the credit limits below; contact support with the service and incident details if an expected credit is missing.
Exclusions
The commitment does not cover unavailability caused by:
- Your own configuration — a firewall rule, a failed service, a full disk, a broken kernel upgrade, or an OS that will not boot after your change.
- Scheduled maintenance announced at least 72 hours in advance. We aim for under 4 hours of announced maintenance per instance per year.
- Suspension for non-payment or AUP violation.
- Attacks against your instance that exceed our mitigation capacity, or that require a temporary null-route to protect other customers.
- Force majeure — natural disaster, war, government action, or a facility-level failure entirely outside our control and outside the facility operator's own SLA.
Network latency commitment
We commit to sub-1% packet loss and stable latency within each region's normal baseline. Sustained deviation caused by our network or our transit selection is treated as degradation under the schedule above. Latency between your location and our datacenter over networks we do not control is outside this commitment ; confirm an appropriate test endpoint with support before buying.
Sole remedy
Service credits are the sole and exclusive remedy for unavailability. This does not limit your rights under the refund policy or any right that cannot lawfully be excluded.
