        \u00a0<\/span><\/div>

        Your use of the Internet<\/span><\/h2>

        Where our products and Services allow you access to the internet, you are responsible for any use or\u00a0misuse of the Services, even if they were used, with or without your consent, by another person who gains\u00a0<\/span>access to them.<\/span><\/p>

        You are responsible for all risks associated with the use of a Smash Service. Smash does not bear any\u00a0responsibility or liability relating to your use of the internet.<\/span><\/p>

        You are responsible for any content you publish online or via email. We encourage you to use appropriate\u00a0warnings and precautions in respect of content that is likely to be considered unsuitable for children.<\/span><\/p>

        You must comply with any rules imposed by any third party whose content or Service you access using your\u00a0Smash Service. You may not copy, publish, re-publish, re-distribute, re-communicate, or otherwise\u00a0<\/span>commercially exploit such content in any form or by any method whatsoever. This prohibition includes\u00a0<\/span>framing, linking, posting in news groups and any other form of copying unless approved by the content\u00a0<\/span>provider.<\/span><\/p>

        We may block access to, remove, or refuse to post any content which you attempt to post that we\u00a0consider offensive, indecent, unlawful or otherwise inappropriate regardless of whether such content is\u00a0<\/span>actually unlawful.<\/span><\/p>

        We may be directed by a regulatory or other law enforcement body to remove content from our servers or\u00a0to prevent users from accessing content from the Internet. We may also be required to remove copyright\u00a0<\/span>materials from our servers or to prevent users from accessing copyright materials from the Internet by a\u00a0<\/span>copyright owner.<\/span><\/p>

        \u00a0<\/span><\/p>

        Monitoring Compliance<\/span><\/h2>

        We are under no obligation to monitor your transmissions or any content you publish using the Service. W<\/span>e may from time to time, however, monitor transmissions or published content to protect our network,\u00a0<\/span>our other customers and the general public as well as to ensure you are complying with the terms of this\u00a0<\/span>policy. We may need to disclose any findings as required to regulatory authorities.<\/span><\/p>

        We take active steps to minimise the amount of spam on our network, which may include:<\/p>

        • Restricting your ability to forward emails<\/li>
        • Limiting your access to the Service to a closed user group relevant to your use of the Service<\/li>
        • Requiring you to rectify any misconfigured mail and\/or proxy servers<\/li><\/ul>
          \u00a0<\/div>

          We may provide your username, IP address or identifying material to law enforcement authorities when required to do so.<\/p>

          \u00a0<\/p>

          Network Protection Rules<\/span><\/h2>

          During peak periods and in congested areas, we manage network congestion by deprioritising the heaviest\u00a0data users who may experience slower download speeds. This means that some data traffic receives\u00a0<\/span>priority over other traffic to provide an overall better network experience for the majority of users.<\/span><\/p>

          Your Service may be slowed, suspended, terminated or restricted for misuse, abnormal use, interference\u00a0with our network or with our ability to provide quality Service to other users or for not complying with\u00a0<\/span>these Network Protection rules.<\/span><\/p>

          Your data may be slowed, suspended, terminated or restricted if you attempt to bypass these Network\u00a0Protection Rules including but not limited to:<\/span><\/p>

          • using encryption for the purposes of bypassing video, music and tethering detection;<\/li>
          • using Apps that are designed to bypass video, music and tethering detection for the purposes of bypassing speed throttles.<\/li><\/ul>
            \u00a0<\/div>

            Only mobile smartphones, tablets and feature phones are allowed on SIM Only Plans. All other devices will be blocked e.g. Wi-Fi routers, Hot spot pocket modems, etc.<\/p>

            \u00a0<\/p>

            \u00a0<\/div>

            Breach of the Fair Use Policy<\/span><\/h2>

            \u00a0<\/p>

            If you breach any part of this Fair Use Policy we will, generally speaking, contact you and, if appropriate,\u00a0ask you to modify your use of the Service. If you do not modify your use of the Service, we may suspend or\u00a0<\/span>cancel your Service without notice to you.<\/span><\/p>

            In certain circumstances, however, such as illegality, or non-ordinary use, we reserve the right to suspend\u00a0or cancel your Service immediately and without notice to you.<\/span><\/p>

            Upon cancellation of an account, we are authorised to delete any files, programs, data and email messages\u00a0(where you have a Smash-supplied email address) associated with the account.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
