Last Updated: February 6th, 2026

This Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) outlines the service availability, support standards, and responsibilities provided by Innovative Global Vision (“IGV,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) to clients (“Client,” “you,” or “your”) receiving website hosting, maintenance, and support services.

This SLA applies only to services explicitly included in a signed agreement, proposal, or active subscription plan with IGV.

1. Scope of Services

This SLA applies to the following services when included in the Client’s active plan:

  • Website hosting on IGV-managed infrastructure

  • Website monitoring and uptime tracking

  • Routine platform, theme, and plugin updates

  • Basic performance monitoring

  • Technical support related to hosted websites

Services not expressly included in a signed agreement are excluded from this SLA.

2. Service Availability (Uptime)

IGV targets 99.9% monthly uptime for websites hosted on IGV-managed servers.

Definition of Uptime

Uptime is defined as the ability for end users to access the Client’s website over HTTP/HTTPS, as measured by IGV’s monitoring systems.

Exclusions

Uptime calculations exclude downtime caused by:

  • Scheduled or emergency maintenance

  • Client-initiated changes or third-party integrations

  • Force majeure events (including natural disasters, power failures, or internet backbone outages)

  • Failures caused by third-party services, APIs, DNS providers, or software not managed by IGV

3. Scheduled & Emergency Maintenance

IGV performs routine maintenance to ensure platform security, stability, and performance.

  • Scheduled maintenance is typically performed during off-peak hours

  • Advance notice will be provided when reasonably possible

  • Scheduled maintenance does not count against uptime calculations

Emergency maintenance may be performed without prior notice when required to protect websites, servers, or data integrity.

4. Monitoring & Detection

IGV uses automated monitoring systems to track website availability.

  • Monitoring is used to detect outages and service disruptions

  • Monitoring data is considered authoritative for uptime calculations

  • Client-reported issues are welcome and investigated but may not alter measured uptime

5. Support Channels

Support requests must be submitted via email:

Approved ticketing or client portal systems may also be used when applicable.

6. Support Coverage & Availability

Standard Business Hours

IGV provides standard support Monday through Friday during regular business hours, excluding statutory holidays.

After-Hours Support

After-hours support is available for urgent issues affecting website availability or core functionality. Response times may vary outside standard business hours.

Holiday Coverage

IGV provides continuous cross-border coverage:

  • During US holidays, support is provided by IGV’s Canadian team

  • During Canadian holidays, support is provided by IGV’s US team
