The IADC's Support Level Agreement

The IADC is committed to providing 100 percent availability of its Internet site(s).

Even with these safeguards in place, loss of connectivity or hardware failure can still occur. For this reason, the IADC cannot "guarantee" its Internet connectivity, nor can we be responsible for lost or delayed requests, email, or content.
