(a) Scheduled HostGCCNetwork Maintenance,
(b) Equipment failure,
(c) Customer's applications or equipment,
(d) acts or omissions of Customer
(e) any use or user of the service authorized by Customer or
(f) reasons of Force Majeure.

For each cumulative one half hour (30 minutes) of Network Unavailability or fraction thereof in any calendar month, Customer's account shall be credited for the pro-rated charges for one day of the HostGCCMonthly Fee, up to but not exceeding the monthly hosting fee. This does not include additional charges such as bandwidth overages.
