Etheric Networks

Service Level Agreement

Etheric Networks provides a unique guarantee that beats any comparable broadband offering (i.e. high
guaranteed baseline speeds; high burst/peak speeds) publicly published and currently accessible in
subscriber’s local area. Etheric Networks has been operating a proprietary high-­speed broadband wireless
network since February of 2003. The network maintains a high availability rate comparable to a wired
connection. In the event of a service interruption:

Etheric Networks will provide service credits for reported service outages from the time they are reported.

Credit will be applied at a rate one day for every four hours without service to a maximum of 2 weeks of credit per month.

In the case of equipment failure outside of warranty, a field engineering visit can be requested at the rate of $129.00 for the first hour and $75.00/hr after that plus equipment costs.

For tree-mounted equipment that requires a tree climber to access it, all related climbing charges are the sole responsibility of the client regardless of equipment warranty.

In the event of a 48-­hour continuous service outage, or if three reported outages of more than 1­ hour each in a calendar month is reported, the client may cancel service with no early termination penalty. Service outages must be reported within 24 ­hours to Etheric Networks support department for Etheric Networks to confirm the service interruption.
