15. Service Level Commitments
Philcom hereby guarantees compliance with the following performance parameters:

i. Agreed Circuit Availability


If Last Mile is : Metric
Wireless (Radio) 99.5%
Fiber 99.95%
99.98% (redundant circuit)

Compliance by PHILCOM of the committed percentage of SLA shall be measured on a monthly basis and equivalent to the
difference between the circuit available time and circuit unavailable time or “Fault” divided by the circuit available time. Circuit
availability shall be computed by multiplying the actual number of days for a given month by twenty-four (24) hours. Circuit
unavailability excludes scheduled service maintenance, defects or malfunctions in the network/equipment of the Customer or
that of its clients which are interfaced with the said Service. Thus:
PERCENT AVAILABILITY = CIRCUIT AVAILABLE TIME – FAULT CIRCUIT AVAILABLE TIME

ii. Procedure on Reporting Fault/s

Upon the occurrence of trouble, The Customer should report via Philcom Customer Service Hotline at +632-8451101 or +632-
816-2851, or send an email to helpdesk@philcom.com. PHILCOM Customer Service shall open a trouble ticket and relay the
trouble ticket number to the Customer. PHILCOM Customer Service shall then initiate and coordinate diagnostic testing and
trouble isolation activities to determine the source of the problem. PHILCOM Customer Service shall apprise the Customer every
hour concerning the progress of restoration activities. Status updates may be undertaken via phone, SMS, or email.com. Once
the service has been restored, the PHILCOM Customer Service Representative shall advise Subscriber of the restoration of the
service. Upon receipt of advice from PHILCOM, the Customer shall have thirty (30) minutes to confirm the same and, upon
confirmation, the Fault shall be deemed to have been cleared, and the trouble ticket closed, as of the time that the Customer
was notified by PHILCOM. If Customer fails to respond within the thirty (30) minute period, the Fault shall be deemed to have
been cleared as of the time that Subscriber was first notified by PHILCOM.

iii. Scheduled Service Maintenance


Scheduled service interruptions shall not be counted as Faults. Scheduled service interruptions include two (2) categories: (1)
maintenance by PHILCOM and/or its Third Party Providers of the Service Circuits; and (2) maintenance of the hardware or
software in the node of PHILCOM or its Third Party Providers. PHILCOM shall, within a reasonable amount of time, notify
Subscribers prior to the actual implementation of any scheduled service interruption.

iv. Rebate Policy

/ Confidential information 3 of 5
PHILCOM shall grant Subscriber corresponding rebates in the payment of its monthly recurring charges. However, rebates shall
not be granted in cases where the interruption is directly attributable to the equipment supplied, provided or installed by
Subscriber or its clients or due to force majeure (acts of God or public enemy, fire, flood, storms or other exceptional weather
conditions, earth station sun outage or natural catastrophes, any law, order, regulation, statutory direction or action of any
government, or of any department, agency, commission, bureau or other instrumentality thereof, or of any civil or military
authority; national emergencies; insurrections; riots or war; strikes, terrorist attacks, lockouts, work stoppages, or other labor
difficulties, willful interference by third parties, and other causes or acts commonly comprehended in such term), or other factors
which are beyond PHILCOM‘s control or which are not attributable to PHILCOM‘s fault or negligence. PHILCOM’s liability to
Subscriber for the occurrence of Faults shall only be solely to the extent of extending rebates to its monthly recurring charges.
PHILCOM shall not be held liable or responsible for claims of damages arising from loss of profit, loss of goodwill, loss of business
opportunity or other similar matters due to the occurrence of Faults.

Only Faults that lasts for a minimum of one (1) hour shall be granted rebates. The rebate schedule shall be in accordance with
the table below.

AMOUNT TO BE CREDITED = Amount per Hour x Circuit Unavailable Time


Where :
Amount per Hour = Amount per Day/ 24 hours
Amount per Day = Monthly Recurring Charge (MRC) / No. of days on a given month

v. Mean Time to Respond (MTTR)
