"Quality of Service". I guess the problem I've had with most of these is
there is really no "guarentee" except the server will time-out if the
service level is exceeded. There is no specification of the server's
response such as roll-backs or even whether the server finishes the
original task. 

Hmmm...  I see "guarantee" is not what you want here...

   "Response Time Constraint"
   "Response Time Limit"
   "Server Processing Time Limit"

Just some thoughts.
