This guarantee excludes any occasional scheduled maintenance, which Sharktech Inc. will notify its Customers of in advance or the rare case of emergency maintenance which may be performed without prior notification in order to secure the Service.

Account Credits

If Sharktech Inc. fails to meet the network guarantee terms of this SLA, it will issue a refund to the Customer(s) in accordance with the below schedule.
