2.1 Service Level Agreement. MailPace guarantees that the email API service and dashboard will be available 99% of the time in any given monthly billing period, excluding maintenance.

2.2 Credit Limitations. You are not entitled to a credit if you are in breach of the terms governing your use of the services until you have cured the breach. You are not entitled to a credit if downtime would not have occurred but for your breach of these Terms of Service. You are not entitled to a credit for downtime or outages resulting from denial of service attacks, virus activity, hacking attempts, or any other circumstances that are not within our control. In addition, to receive a credit, you must request a credit by email MailPace's support team within thirty (30) days following the end of the downtime. You must show that your use of the services was adversely affected in some way as a result of the downtime to be eligible for the credit. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms of Service to the contrary, the maximum total credit for the monthly billing period, including all guaranties, shall not exceed 100% of the fees for that billing period. Credits that would be available but for this limitation will not be carried forward to future billing periods.
