Authoritative Nameserver Infrastructure Availability
An "Outage" shall be defined by the following event:

Remedies
When Customer becomes aware of an Outage, Customer shall open a ticket with DNSimple Support (support@dnsimple.com) within five (5) calendar days.

To qualify for any credit, Customer must have a current and valid subscription to the Service(s) affected, and must have an account in good standing with DNSimple. Credits will not apply to any charges or Services other than the fee for the Services for which this SLA was not met. Customers with subscriptions for more than one Service will not receive credits for unaffected Services. Customer's account shall not be credited more than once per month under this Service Level Agreement. The remedies laid out above shall be the sole and exclusive remedies if DNSimple does not meet the commitments set forth in this Service Level Agreement.
