A subscribers service will be suspended if payment reaches three (3) days past due. All services which are three (3) days past the due date will automatically attract an overdue fee that is equal to 10% of the total cost of the Subscribers service, which will be payable on top of the invoice amount. All services which are not paid in full within fourteen (14) days of the due date will be automatically deleted from our servers. If you desire to cancel your service, please follow the proper procedure to do this as outlined in this TOS.

Our allocation of IP addresses is limited by APNIC s new policies. These new policies state that use of IP addresses for IP based virtual hosts will not be accepted as justifcation for new IP addresses. What this means to you is that you MUST use name- based hosting where possible.

Attempting to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measures without proper authorization.

We reserve the right, to drop the section of IP space involved in Spam or Denial- of- Service complaints if it is clear that the offending activity is causing great harm to parties on the Internet. In particular, if open relays are on your network or a customer s network, or if denial of service attacks are originating from your network. In certain rare cases, we may have to do this before attempting to contact you. If we do this, we will contact you as soon as is feasible. Hani IT reserves the right to suspend network access to any subscriber if in the judgement of the network administrators the Subscriber s service is the source or target of the violation of any of the other terms of the AUP or for any other reason which Hani IT chooses.
