Client must pay the applicable Taxes to unWired Broadband until it provides unWired Broadband with a valid tax exemption certificate. If applicable law exempts a Service under this Agreement from a Tax, but does not also provide an exemption procedure, then unWired Broadband will not collect such Tax if Client provides unWired Broadband with a letter signed by one of its officers: (i) claiming a right to the exemption; (ii) identifying the applicable law that allows such exemption and does not require an exemption certificate; and (iii) agreeing to indemnify and hold unWired Broadband harmless from any tax, interest, penalties, loss, coast or expense asserted against unWired Broadband as a result of its not collecting the Taxes from Client.

The SLAs identify the applicable performance metrics and Service Outage credit tables. If a specific SLA is not identified on the website for a particular Service of the type that includes performance guarantees, the credits for Service Outage exceeding thirty (30) minutes will be calculated on a pro rata basis, i.e. credits will be calculated by multiplying the duration of the Service Outage by the applicable MRC, divided by the monthly period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract or any SLA, Client understands and agrees that any service guarantees, and associated rights and remedies do not apply to Off-Net connections, whether or not specified in any other agreement between Client and unWired.
(b) Service Outage Definition. A “Service Outage” is defined as either: (a) material non-compliance with a specific performance metric in a service level agreement and such non-compliance is caused by unWired Broadband’s Network; or (b) a complete loss of transmission or reception capability for a Service caused by unWired Broadband’s Network.
(c) Reporting and Tracking of Service Outage. If there is a Service Outage, Client must contact unWired Broadband’s Technical Support at 559-261-4444 option 2 and unWired Broadband will open a trouble ticket and provide Client with a trouble ticket number for tracking purposes.
(d) Duration of Service Outage and Application of Credits. For the purpose of calculating applicable credits, a Service Outage begins when Client reports the Service Outage to unWired Broadband’s Technical Support, and ends when the Service is restored. Service Outages do not include outages and failures caused by the equipment, acts or omissions of Client, third parties, Force Majeure events, or outages occurring during scheduled or emergency maintenance. The duration of a Service Outage does not include any time during which unWired Broadband is not allowed access to the premises necessary to restore the Service. Credits for Service Outages are only issued if requested by Client, and such requests must be submitted to unWired Broadband within 30 days from the date Service is restored.
(e) Chronic Trouble Services. If two Client Service Outages have occurred on a particular Service during a 30-day period, and a third Service Outage occurs within thirty days following the second Service Outage, Client may terminate the applicable Service without early termination liability provided that Client supplies unWired Broadband with a written termination notice no later than thirty (30) days following third Service Outage.
(f) Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to be the contrary in this Agreement, the remedies set forth in the service level agreement and in Sections 4(a) and 4(e) of this Agreement constitute Client’s sole and exclusive remedy for Service Outages.
(g) Service Outages Not Caused by unWired Broadband’s Network. If unWired Broadband responds to a service call initiated by Client, and unWired Broadband reasonably determines that the cause of the problem is: (i) not due to unWired Broadband’s Network; or (ii) on Client’s side of the Demarcation Point, Client must compensate unWired Broadband for the service call at unWired Broadband’s then prevailing Time and Materials rates posted at www.getunwired.com.
