Outages will be counted as Service Unavailability only if the Customer reports an outage on the Technical Information Tracking System (ITS) through the Customer' s ControlCentre at support.webnet2000.net or by fax or email within five days of the outage. Service Unavailability will not include Scheduled Maintenance, unavailability of individual Services (such as email, webserver or other user-configurable application) or any unavailability resulting from (a) the Customer's applications, equipment, or facilities, (b) acts or omissions of the Customer, or any use or user of the Service authorized by the Customer or (c) reasons of Force Majeure or other circumstances beyond WN2000's reasonable control (as defined in clause 13 of these terms).

5.6.5 The Customer is solely responsible for providing WN2000 with accurate and current contact information for the Customer's designated points of contact. WN2000 will be relieved of its obligations in this agreement if WN2000's contact information for the Customer is out of date or inaccurate due to the Customer's action or omission or if WN2000's failure is due to reasons of Force Majeure or other circumstances beyond WN2000's reasonable control (as defined in clause 13 of these terms).
