For hardware-related issues that require a replacement, the hardware replacement is guaranteed to be complete within SIX (6) hours.

The SIX (6) hours Hardware SLA also does not include the time required to install/setup/configure the operating system or applications.
Hardware SLA is not inclusive of the scheduled and upgrades maintenance that Simplehost.sg carries out occasionally. Hardware SLA is on a per-incident, and per hardware component basis.
