11.3  Service Failures

Any failure to provide the services in accordance with the Service Level Specifications will constitute an Unavailability Event or Performance Failure. Unavailability Events and Performance Failures will be penalised through financial penalties in the form of deductions from the Service Payment and through the award of Service Failure Points which can lead to the termination of individual service providers and, ultimately, the Contractor (see paragraph 11.3 (Warning Notices)).
