Service Credits as Sole Remedy

Where Voice Cloud Digital fails to meet a commitment set out in this SLA, the customer's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the payment of a service credit as determined by their individual service agreement. Service credits are calculated based on the affected service and the duration of the failure, and are applied as a credit against future invoices. No cash refunds, penalty payments or other compensation will be provided.

Cap on Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Voice Cloud Digital's aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the services provided under this SLA, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, shall not exceed the total fees paid by the customer to Voice Cloud Digital for the affected service during the month in which the failure occurred.

Exclusion of Consequential Damages

Under no circumstances shall Voice Cloud Digital be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of revenue, loss of profits, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings, loss of data, loss of goodwill or loss of opportunity, whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, even if Voice Cloud Digital has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damage.

Commitments Are Targets, Not Guarantees

All response times, restoration targets and availability percentages set out in this SLA represent operational targets based on reasonable industry standards.

It is the customer's responsibility to review this document periodically.

Important: Nothing in this SLA excludes, restricts or modifies any rights or remedies available to the customer under the Australian Consumer Law (including any consumer guarantees) where such exclusion, restriction or modification would be unlawful. Where Voice Cloud Digital's liability for a breach of a consumer guarantee cannot be excluded, that liability is limited, at Voice Cloud Digital's option, to re-supplying the services or paying the cost of having the services re-supplied.

Legal Disclaimer

Where Voice Cloud Digital resells services supplied by third party carriers (including Hosted Voice upstream carriers, Telstra Wholesale and NBN providers), carrier restoration targets and operational commitments apply. Voice Cloud Digital will manage all fault logging, escalation and customer communications on your behalf. Service credits, where applicable, are determined in accordance with your individual service agreement. This page is provided for general information purposes only and does not override or replace the binding terms of your service agreement.

The response times, restoration targets and availability commitments set out in this document represent good faith operational targets. They are not guarantees or warranties of performance. Voice Cloud Digital's total liability arising from any failure to meet a commitment under this SLA, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, is limited to the payment of applicable service credits as the sole and exclusive remedy. Under no circumstances shall Voice Cloud Digital be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of revenue, loss of profits, loss of business, loss of data or loss of opportunity, howsoever arising.

Voice Cloud Digital reserves the right to amend this Service Level Agreement at any time. Updated versions will be published with a revised version number and effective date.
