Service Level Agreement

The SLA (Service Level Agreement) is applicable to all services provided directly to clients of SHOUTcastLive. This SLA is not applicable to unrelated third parties who do not maintain a contract with SHOUTcastLive. The following guarantees and resulting credits are applied in monthly terms.


To properly claim an SLA credit, the client must submit an SLA ticket in our helpdesk and within 14 days of the occurrence. Client is responsible for including all relevant information such as IP Address, contact information, description of problem as well as logs of problem experienced. Once the ticket has been submitted, our staff will analyze logs provided by client and determine whether a credit is appropriate. Credits are issued in the form of credits to future billing payments.


Clients who have unpaid accounts are not eligible to receive SLA credits. Any abuse related incidents caused by said client are not eligible for SLA credit until the abuse related matters are resolved.


SHOUTcastLive guarantees 99.9% network uptime on its public network. In the event a credit is due, a credit of 10% per hour of downtime experienced will be issued upon proper SLA credit submission described above. DDOS attacks are not included in this network SLA and therefore no credit will be given for such attacks.


Network downtime is measured from the time the network is 100% unreachable, until service is once again restored. In order to request a credit, you must e-mail us under Money Back' within 14 days of any downtime that occurred. E-mail notifications that are not sent within 14 days of the downtime will not be eligible for credits.


The amount of the credits are determined by the following table, based on the amount of Network Uptime the SHOUTcastLive network has provided for the month in which a credit is requested. Network Uptime

99.9 - 100%

SHOUTcastLive will review claims of SLA violations during normal business hours of the first through seventh day of the month, and will apply any applicable credit to Customer's account within two billing cycles after SHOUTcastLive receives customer's credit request.
