Before subscribing to the ITNT DSL service please ensure that you have a valid and active Telkom telephone service as this is a prerequisite for provision of the ADSL service. ITNT advises potential clients to confirm the availability of the service in their particular desired location prior to purchasing or ordering a DSL modem or other hardware. The availability of ADSL services can be checked here.
ITNT can also not guarantee the provision of the requested service upon the receipt of a telephonic or electronic order. Applicants will be formally notified after receipt of an order on whether or not the DSL access service can be provided.
Service availability to any applicant is further subject to:
ITNT is not responsible for Telkom Lead Times and provisioning of DSL services.
Billing will commence on the date on which service provision commences. ITNT reserves the right at any time, without notice, to immediately suspend and/or terminate the provision of access to the Internet or other Services due to non-payment by the Customer or should it be required to comply with such a requirement in terms of any laws or regulations in effect and applicable to this Agreement.
The Customer agrees to effect payment by way of Pay Pal, Credit Card, Debit Card or Order, unless otherwise agreed, and hereby consents to ITNT deducting fees, deposits and other amounts from the account/s specified. The Customer, shall be liable, and immediately pay upon demand, for unauthorized bandwidth usage over and above the agreed bandwidth usage in any particular month, notwithstanding the fact that the Customer may have access to and use of any additional bandwidth in such month.
Service fees are payable to ITNT monthly in advance by way of Credit card, Pay Pal, EFT or Debit Card prior to or on the first working day of each and every calendar month.
Billing will commence on the date on which service provision commences, thereafter 'Monthly' services will be renewed from the 28th to the 1st , preferably prior to the first working day of each and every calendar month to ensure service continuity on the 1st. 'Once-off' Adsl services will not be renewed as the purchased data expires at month end.
Prorata billing applies to all new monthly billed services and on the initial purchase only. Prorata billing will not apply should you fail to pay your renewal invoice or any outstanding invoice on your account, the renewal/outstanding invoice must first be paid in order to qualify for the prorata rate on a new service. The bandwidth on a per gig service will be prorated together with the price on purchase. The prorata price and bandwidth is calculated according to the purchase date.
Service Changes are changes to the product, speed, combo or data purchased which changes the renewal of the service/s and are billed prorata.
For ease of understanding, services referred to as Upgraded services are services which result in a price increase on the next renewal and Downgraded services are services which result in a lesser billed renewal than the current service.
New services can only be set to Downgrade from the second month (month after activation) and will only apply from the following month (month 3).
Clients are not able to service change to an Upgraded service and then service change to a Downgraded service in the same month. The Upgraded service change must first be renewed before a Downgrade can be set for the next renewal.
Example: a Mobile Data service is service changed from 1GB to 5GB in August. The client will only be able to set a service change to a Mobile Data service smaller than 5GB during the month of September for October as the service must first be renewed on 1 September at 5GB before it can be downgraded.
The cancellation period for month-to-month contracts will be one calendar month notice period required in writing (cancellable on proof of submission to ITNT) or if available can be selected within your online Admin Portal; the notice period will take effect on the first day of the month immediately following your written notice for cancelation. Cancellation of 'Internet Services' is the clients responsibility and ITNT will not be responsible for any additional costs or compensation to the client due to a cancellation not being actioned correctly according to the terms of cancellation.
The cancellation period for a 12, 24 or 36 month contract, will be 90 days written notice on a company letterhead document before the end of the initial contract period - Cancellation before the end of the initial contract period will carry a penalty fee. All services based on a 12, 24 or 36 month contract, and have exceeded their initial contract period will be automatically thereafter renewed for a further 12-month period unless written notice is received 90 days prior to contract term. Proration billing does not apply to cancellations.
ITNT reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and any service provision to a client where there is a breach of these Terms of Use but undertakes to act reasonably in doing so.
The client acknowledges that ITNT may terminate this agreement by written notice and without liability in the event of the termination of its agreement with an upstream licensee relevant to the provision of the DSL service.
Subscribers should note that rollover of unused bandwidth is valid until the end of the month of purchase. ITNT will rollover unused data for an additional calendar month proactively. This is referred to as the “Rollover Period”. The Rollover Period will not exceed 31 days. Clients will not be eligible for further rollover of data once the Rollover Period has elapsed. Data will first be consumed from the rolled over data, before using the new Monthly Allocation or any newly purchased data in the same month. Clients who request a package change will forfeit any rolled over data from their previous package.
Where a subscriber exhausts the purchased bandwidth or reaches the fixed cap he or she will be hard-capped. This means that no further access (other than dial-up access for fixed cap account users) will thereafter be allowed other than to the ITNT Capped Adsl website for the purpose of ordering additional prepaid ADSL bandwidth.
ITNT takes steps to monitor the bandwidth usage of subscribers so as to ensure that subscriber bandwidth limitations are not exceeded. This monitoring is subject to the nature of the ADSL service as offered by Telkom, including the fact that monitoring is session-based, i.e. bandwidth usage can only be calculated when the subscriber's DSL session is terminated. As a result a subscriber's current session will be automatically terminated for a very short period of time every 24 hours.
ITNT further reserves the right to take such steps as may be necessary to properly monitor and calculate usage, including remotely terminating subscriber DSL sessions.
Where a subscriber exceeds the pre-purchased bandwidth or fixed cap (where applicable) then:
NOTWITHSTANDING THE MONITORING OF USAGE THE SUBSCRIBER AGREES THAT THEY REMAIN SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT THEY DO NOT EXCEED THEIR ALLOWABLE BANDWIDTH DURING ANY APPLICABLE PERIOD.
ITNT also monitors its systems for performance and accounting purposes. The information gained thereby and by any other means may be used to ensure that the Terms of Use and AUP are being complied with.
Subscribers can proactively managing their usage and avoid being prematurely hard capped, as well as check their bandwidth usage by logging in to the ITNT Client Admin Portal - Client Area
ITNT will do all things reasonably necessary to provide and maintain a best-effort continuous internet access service and use to the Customer, but cannot guarantee a continuous uninterrupted service or any throughput of data, which exclusions include without limitation; network availability, line sync speeds limitations, operational maintenance and repairs, upgrades and circumstances beyond its control including force majeure. No Service level agreement is associated with the Service/s provided by ITNT.
Due to the fact that Telkom currently only offers DSL access services as a "best effort" service, ITNT's DSL service is likewise also a "best effort" service and no guarantees or warranties whatsoever are provided on throughput or any other aspect of the service, including but not limited to warranties in respect of merchantability, non-infringement of third party rights, freeness from errors or interruptions or availability, other than set out in these terms and conditions.
Due to the fact that Telkom cannot guarantee the bandwidth throughput achieved when subscribers access the Internet utilising a DSL access line, ITNT can likewise also not offer such a guarantee.
Please note that DSL is an access medium to the Internet and accordingly remains subject to any bandwidth related constraints which may apply to or be experienced in the use of the World Wide Web (WWW).
ADSL Line Rental clients remain liaible to Telkom for the monthly Voice Line Rental fee, regardless of whether the Voice Line is in use (plugged in) or not. Telkom requires that voice lines remain active in order to provide ADSL services.
Telkom will bill clients directly for Voice Line Rental as follows (prices correct at time of publishing, but may vary):
Fibre Broadband Access is supplied as a best effort service by the Fibre Line Provider. Warranties on equipment/hardware supplied during the installation are held by the Fibre Line Provider or their chosen Representative and remain their property. In order to use the Fibre Data purchased from ITNT a Fibre router/modem is required, this router/modem needs to be purchased by the client. Only approved (ICASA, SABS) hardware is permitted to be used, un-approved hardware connected to the Fibre Line by the client which proves to be interfering/causes damage to the service provided by the Fibre Line Provider/ITNT or its infrastructure is not permitted. Any costs which arise due to damage and repairs caused by the connection of un-approved hardware by the client will be for the clients account.
Areas marked as available on the map may not be Fibre ready at your particular address due to a number of factors. Pre-orders do not guarantee that Fibre will be available at your particular address once the planned project has been completed. Should we not be able to proceed with your application we will advise you thereof. Installations are typically completed within +- 30 days, this timeframe is however not guaranteed. ITNT offer Fibre to the Home services and Business through our Fibre Line Providers. The availability of Fibre services can be checked here.
Fibre line installations and connections are subject to an installation and connection fee which is prescribed by the Fibre Line Provider. Additional fees may apply should trenching or additional cabling be required to complete the installation, ITNT will make any additional charges known to the client and the client will be required to accept or reject these charges before the order is completed. Please note that should the service be ordered and the incorrect address is supplied, the client will be responsible for all charges relating to the order placed at the incorrect address.
An additional fee may be charged as prescribed by the Fibre Provider for re-grading the speed of a fibre line as well as outdoor transfers (new address) and transfers between Internet Service Providers.
Cancellations for fibre lines are only submitted at the end of each month, the cancellation request must be submitted via the Client Control Panel at least 30 calendar days before the cancellation date, the earliest available cancellation date will be shown in the Client Control Panel.
Cancellation requests which do not adhere to the calendar month notice requirement are subject to Early Termination Fees which will need to be settled before the cancellation request is processed, this fee is prescribed by the Fibre Line Provider. Transfers between Service Providers are handled in the same manner as a new installation and are typically completed within +- 30 day, this timeframe is however not guaranteed.
An additional fee of up to R2 000.00 may be charged on faults logged which are found to be caused by faulty hardware or user error. This amount will be charged to your account once we are advised of the charges by the Fibre Line Provider.
By completing the order it is deemed that consent has been received from the landlord, owner or body corporate for the installation of the service.
The available capacity on the network is shared between all users of ITNT bandwidth. Acceptable Usage Policies are attached to Uncapped Services. Capped services whilst the majority of the time will remain untouched may be shaped or throttled should the demand on the network and available capacity be affected. Capped services will generally receive priority through-put on our network provided there is no rise in demand or extenuating circumstances affecting the performance of the network.
Mobile data is a monthly billed service unless otherwise stated. Mobile Data is subject to the same Terms and Conditions as ADSL data, for the purposes of Payment, Termination and Monitoring of Usage except where specified.
Mobile Data is subject to the Regulation of Interception and provision of Communication-related information Act where applicable (RICA). When a purchase for mobile data is made it is deemed that you have read, understood and accepted all Terms & Conditions pertaining to the purchase.
If you have any queries please contact us before making any purchase for any service through this website, our 24 hour, 7 day a week support number is 086 123 4868.
Service delivery of Mobile data is dependent on signal availability and demand for data services in any particular area. ITNT does not warrant or guarantee service for any specific areas, whilst every effort will be made to give clients an indication of possible service via the Mobile Coverage Map. ITNT accepts no liability should the aforementioned map differ to actual data service experienced.
SIM cards provided by ITNT are not automatically LTE enabled. LTE capable ITNT Mobile SIMS can be activated for LTE services via the Client Control Panel. Activation of LTE on the SIM is within 72 hours of the request. Clients using their own MTN SIM for ITNT Mobile Data will need to request the activation of LTE with MTN directly.
An LTE capable device is required in order to obtain LTE speeds.
The customer is aware that any data usage done on any SIM will be billed at the rate in accordance with the Flexible Data Bundle Service Schedule. The customer accepts responsibility for the usage done, regardless of whether ITNT had provided reports or notifications of the SIM data usage.
ITNT reserves the right to limit the quantity of purchases made. Data and devices may only be purchased via credit card or debit order. EFT, Stop Order and Cash Deposits are not accepted. Your order will be shipped once your payment has been cleared. Credit Card payments are cleared within 24 hours and Debit Order payments can take up to 10 working days to clear. Your order will be shipped on the first working day of your payment being cleared.
Technical support is provided for the setting up of the APN on the client's device. ITNT does not offer support on applications or set-up of device applications such as email.
Clients are able to use ITNT Mobile Data on their existing contract MTN sim (not available on prepaid MTN sim's). The client's use of their existing MTN contract sim is subject to the same Terms and Conditions as all other ITNT Mobile Data products and services. Should we fail to verify your MTN sim with MTN for provisioning of ITNT Mobile Data your order will be deleted (all purchases within the order) and the purchase/s will need to be re-purchased.
Mobile data clients are able to top up their data should they exhaust it at any time during the month. This top-up can be done via the Control Panel or Mobile Control Panel. Data that has over run the purchased data total will be deducted from your next top-up. Example, 500mb purchased, 550mb used before capping takes place, top-up with 500mb, 450mb will be allocated.
The promotional free data that is offered on purchase is only valid for the period selected by the client. If the client does not select a promotional free data package on purchase the promotional free data will not be applied. Once the free data period has ended the client will automatically be billed via there selected payment method for the data service at the non-promotional price.
If a data product is cancelled the SIM card linked to the product including any unused data will be cancelled on the requested date. If the client has opted to use their own SIM, the ITNT Mobile Data service will be discontinued on their selected SIM. Once cancellation of the SIM has taken place it cannot be reactivated.
Should we not receive payment for data purchased the data together with the SIM provided will be cancelled. If the client has opted to use their own SIM, the ITNT Mobile Data service will be discontinued on their selected SIM. Once the SIM has been cancelled it cannot be reactivated.
All Devices are only available with the purchase of data and are not sold separately. ITNT will provide an ITNT Mobile SIM that is compliant with the device purchased unless Existing MTN SIM Card is selected on purchase.
ITNT has a 7 business day device return policy from date of purchase. Units returned must be returned as shipped (i.e same cosmetic condition and all shipped packaging, parts and accessories included) to be eligible for refund or exchange.
ITNT will NOT arrange collection of units for exchange or return (or cover related costs). The client will be responsible for arranging for the unit to be delivered to ITNT. This will in no way impact the continued warranty provisions, and only relates to courier charges and logistics.
All Mobile Devices are covered by a product specific warranty as per the manufacturer's warranty, for the repair or replacement of faulty units. The warranty is limited to items covered by the manufacturer only.
The warranty does not cover any damage deemed to have been caused by the client's misuse or mistreatment of the product (including damage due to improper return shipping of the product for exchange or return). Using incorrectly sized SIM cards and any physical damage as a result, is deemed to be improper use or abuse of the product. This effectively voids the manufacturer's warranty and therefore will not be exchanged or returned. This further extends to the use of unapproved accessories or modifications which effectively void the warranty on the product. In such circumstances, ITNT will not be liable to repair or replace any such devices and no further correspondence will be entered into once the device is deemed to be out of warranty.
Failure to abide by ITNT' policy can result in deductions to the claimed refund or rejection of claims for refund or exchange.
By accepting the Terms and Conditions for RICA you undertake to inform any persons that the purchase is intended for of the Terms and Conditions herein and their responsibilities in terms of the RICA Act.
All Data products are subject to RICA verification, as stipulated by law (Regulation of Interception of Communication Act of 2008). Clients are required to produce a legible copy of their valid Identity Document or Passport and proof of residential address. Non-South African citizens may submit a copy of their valid Passport. Verification documents must contain photo identification and must be a barcoded form of identification. Failure to produce the required aforementioned information will result in the product not being activated, regardless of any amounts billed.
Delivery of the data product will not take place if the required documentation is not produced and successfully verified. RICA verification must be done in person, for each new purchase of a data product regardless of whether the person/s has been RICA' d previously. The drivers of the courier service used by ITNT are RICA agents and will RICA the user upon delivery of the order. The person who will use the SIM is the person who will be vetted and must therefore be available to accept delivery. Under no circumstances will someone else be able to accept delivery on behalf of the user. Should the order be for business purposes an authorized representative for the business must be available to accept delivery and be vetted in his/her own capacity on behalf of the business. Clients will be required in terms of the Act to keep their physical address updated with ITNT for a period of five (5) years from the date of purchase. The RICA verification for individuals younger than 18 years of age must be performed by their Legal Guardian on their behalf.
The following documentation together with legible copies thereof will be required for the RICA verification; the copies will be retained by the person delivering your RICA product:
For a Natural Person:
The following documents are accepted for verification purposes:
Identity Verification (Natural Persons and Company Representative):
Please note that your current ISP may not release your domain/domain information until your account has been settled.
To ensure the minimum amount of downtime for your business/website, we require the following for setup on our servers:
- advise your current ISP that you will be transferring your domain to itnt.co.za
- FTP details
- copy of your Database (where applicable)
- Authorization Code (if applicable)
- Unlocking of the Domain (if applicable)
- Email addresses that you require.
When transferring your domain from ITNT
Please give our accounts department (support@itnt.co.za) a calendar month’s notice and ensure that your account is paid up. Thereafter, you shall need to liaise with your new hosting provider and get further instructions from them.
NB: Should you transfer your domain to another ISP, please remember to ensure that you cancel all your itnt.co.za services pertaining to it. ITNT.co.za runs on an automated billing system and will NOT automatically cancel any services off a customer's account.
Fees for transferring a domain:
Transferring a local domain (e.g. .co.za) is currently, free of charge. However, transferring an international domain (e.g. .com) usually incurs a fee. The fee can be in the format of paying an annual renewal fee at the time of transfer.
Prorata billing applies to all new monthly billed services and on the initial purchase only. Prorata billing will not apply should you fail to pay your renewal invoice or any outstanding invoice on your account, the renewal/outstanding invoice must first be paid in order to qualify for the prorata rate on a new service. The bandwidth on a per gig service will be prorated together with the price on purchase. The prorata price and bandwidth is calculated according to the purchase date.
Service Changes are changes to the product, storage or combo purchased which changes the renewal of the service/s and are billed prorata.
For ease of understanding, services referred to as Upgraded services are services which result in a price increase on the next renewal and Downgraded services are services which result in a lesser billed renewal than the current service.
New services can only be set to Downgrade from the second month (month after activation) and will only apply from the following month (month 3).
Clients are not able to service change to an Upgraded service and then service change to a Downgraded service in the same month. The Upgraded service change must first be renewed before a Downgrade can be set for the next renewal.
Example: a Hosting or Cloud package is changed (upgraded) from Cloud 2 to Cloud 3 in August. The client will only be able to set a service change (downgraded) to a Cloud 2 service which is smaller than Cloud 3 during the month of September for October as the service must first be renewed on 1 September at Cloud 3 before it can be downgraded.
The ITNT Hosting environment is offered without uptime guarantees, unless specifically stated. Local Hosting refers to the physical location, and not the IP traffic and/or network routing. This means that the hosting servers are physically located within the boundaries of South Africa. International Hosting refers to servers physically hosted outside the boundaries of South Africa.
ITNT only offers the Free Domain registration promotion for ".co.za" domains with new customers who have purchased a new shared hosting package. This is a bundled package and cannot be separated. If a shared hosting package is cancelled or transferred within 6 months, the customer is liable to pay for his or her free domain. Such fees must be settled in advance before any domain transfer can take effect.
ITNT has not and does not conduct pre-registration searches in respect of the customer's use and registration of its selected Domain Name/s and is therefore not obliged to either advise the Domain Name customer/customer about possible conflicting third party rights or to take steps to ensure against possible disputes concerning a third party's intellectual property or other rights. Domain Names are registered by the respective Registrars on a first come first served basis we are therefore unable to guarantee that the domain name applied for will be available when the instruction is sent to the Registrar. Domain registrations are billed on an annual basis three (3) months in advance e.g if the original registration date was on the 10th of April 2014 you will be billed your annual registration fee on the 1st of January 2015.
The use or registration of the Domain Name by the customer does not interfere with nor infringe the rights of any third party in any jurisdiction with respect to trademark, service mark, tradename, company name, close corporation name, copyright nor any other intellectual property right, and that customer has the right to use the Domain Name as requested.
ITNT cannot act as an arbiter of disputes arising out of the registration and use of Domain Names. At the same time, customer acknowledges that ITNT may be presented with evidence that a Domain Name registered by customer violates the rights of a third party. In such instance ITNT shall be allowed to provide a complainant with customer's name and address and all further communication will exclude ITNT and ITNT will have no further obligations to the customer. In such instance customer shall be entitled to continue using the Domain Name registered for customer by ITNT until a court or other body with jurisdiction directs otherwise.
ITNT will not be liable for any loss or damage, interruption of business, or any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind (including lost profits), regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, delict, or otherwise which may be suffered as a result of or which may be attributable, directly or indirectly, to the use and/or registration of the Customer's selected domain names/s OR ANY ACTION TAKEN BY ITNT IN RESPONSE TO THE ABUSE OF THE DOMAIN REGISTRATION SERVICES WHICH IT OFFERS.
The Customer hereby indemnifies and holds harmless ITNT against any loss whatsoever arising from any dispute or claim or other action occasioned by the Customer's use and registration of its selected Domain Name, even if ITNT has been advised of the possibility of such damages;
ITNT will not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss, damage, cost or expense of any kind, irrespective of how such damage or loss was caused, whether arising under contract, delict or otherwise, including, and not limited to, data loss or corruption, loss of profits, contracts, operation time and goodwill.
Neither ITNT, its employees, affiliates, agents, third party information providers, merchants, licensers or the like, warrant that ITNT's Server service will not be interrupted or error free; nor do they make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from the use of the Server service or as to the accuracy, reliability or content of any information service or merchandise contained in or provided through the ITNT Server service, unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement.
ITNT expressly limits its damages to the Customer for any non-accessibility time or other down time during the system unavailability. ITNT specifically denies any responsibilities for any damages arising as a consequence of such unavailability.
ITNT is not responsible if an external company network and firewall is setup to block access to services ITNT provides. If a client's network is setup to block certain ports or web addresses that compromise the services ITNT provides it is the client's responsibility to ensure that their network configurations are changed as necessary.
ITNT does NOT provide SMTP mail services by default with shared hosting packages.
ITNT reserves the right to suggest suitable alternative services to the Client and / or charge for excessive traffic or system resources as it deems necessary, at its sole discretion. Excessive traffic or use of system resources will be determined as set out in the Acceptable Use Policy.
ITNT reserves the right to move a website between web servers and Internet backbones within South Africa as it deems necessary. If a Client moves in excess of their monthly web traffic allocation, then the Client will be contacted and various options will be presented.
ITNT reserves the right (but does not assume any obligation) to inspect the contents of data that the Client transmits, receives or stores on an ITNT Server to ensure compliance with this Agreement, ITNT’s AUP, or any applicable laws regulations or codes of practice.
The Client must immediately and adequately respond to a denial of service attack (DOS / DDOS). If the Client’s facilities are targeted by a DOS attack that affects other network users, the Client’s Service will be suspended.
Clients are solely responsible for backing up their data and ITNT strongly encourages ALL Hosting Clients to do so as frequently and completely as possible. ITNT will not be liable for any data loss or any other losses or damages related to backups or data recovery without exception.
ITNT may, in some instances, offer a separate backup service in conjunction with dedicated hosting and virtual cloud hosting, and will make such backups available to Clients on request as and when they are available. However, ITNT does not warrant or guarantee the availability, completeness or “up to date” status of such backups.
Clients are ultimately responsible for their own data, and ITNT strongly encourages such Clients to continue to make their own backups as frequently and completely as possible to ensure that they have recourse in the event of any failure.
ITNT also cannot guarantee the condition or fitness of any backups provided. Such backups are provided "as is" and are used at the Client’s own risk and discretion - whether restored by ITNT by instruction from Clients or by Clients themselves.
ITNT will not be liable for any losses or damages relating to any incidents arising out of such backups being provided (or not provided) to Clients on request.
ITNT reserves the right to manage the cloud environment at its discretion for the overall benefit of cloud hosted Clients. Any virtual machine which ITNT deems at its sole discretion to have a negative effect on the environment may be powered down or suspended.
ITNT strictly forbids the creation of nested VM's, or virtual instances within a virtual server. This severely degrades overall performance and will be treated as a violation of ITNT’s AUP and Terms & Conditions (contrary to the intended use of the product).
ITNT also strictly forbids any misuse of shared or cloud resources, such as Ram Disks (use RAM memory as storage disk space), which abuses resources and compromises the integrity of the cloud environment.
ITNT may also, at its discretion, restrict server to limited IOPS (Input Output Operations Per Second) where a Client’s use of available virtual resources is negatively affecting the overall environment.
ITNT provides servers to Clients for the purposes of their hosting needs. However ownership of physical hardware rests solely with ITNT at all times. Clients may not make any claim to hardware deployed for their hosting, and may not have access to ITNT property, hardware or hosting infrastructure (such as data centres) without prior consent, which must be obtained by written application sent to the Support Team with a minimum of 24 hours notice. ITNT, at its discretion, may refuse such requests within reason.
ITNT provides a spam and virus filtering system to protect Clients from unsolicited mail and viruses. The Client acknowledges that this system might incorrectly identify a valid message as spam or as a virus and consequently this message might not be delivered to the Client. The Client acknowledges and agrees that ITNT shall without limitation have no responsibility for, or liability in respect of any data lost as a result of this system.
ITNT reserves the right to examine incoming or outgoing mail to the extent necessary to determine if it is classified as spam or malicious.
Webmail and other web-based email services made available by ITNT are provided on an "as is" basis without representations, warranties or conditions of any kind, and the Client acknowledges and agrees that ITNT shall have no responsibility for, or liability in respect of, any aspect of the webmail services, including without limitation for any lost or damaged data or any acts or omissions of ITNT. As webmail storage space is limited, some webmail messages may not be processed due to space constraints or message limitations.
Individual mail sent to the Client's POP3/IMAP box or forwarded to the Client's existing email address may be limited to 5000kB in size each.
ITNT will issue IP addresses to dedicated servers or to other hosting servers, either as part of the standard product, or upon request (subject to applicable fees). IP addresses will be assigned to Clients at ITNT’s discretion and on a first come first serve basis.
