In order to receive downtime credit, Customer must notify Sumatra in writing within 24 hours from the time of downtime, and failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit. Such credits may not be redeemed for cash and shall not be cumulative beyond a total of credits for one (1) week of subscription Fees in any one (1) calendar month in any event.
