OLM is not responsible for connectivity issues resulting from the failure of any other network than one which is solely owned by OLM. OLM will ONLY be held responsible for its network and not for general conditions on the Internet. Delays that occur outside OLM's routers caused by backbone failures/congestion, interruption of or delay in transportation, unavailability of, interruption or delay in telecommunications, or third party services (including DNS propagation) resulting in degradation of service and high packet loss or similar conditions, cannot be guaranteed by OLM.
