They may be revised at any time and without notice at the sole discretion of Zetnet Services. Zetnet Services also reserve the right to change account types and payment methods at any time. Notification will be given prior to any changes. The use of a Zetnet Dial-Up Account is taken to be your agreement to adhere to the current Conditions of Use at any given time.

You are also required to adhere to the Acceptable Use Policies ("AUPs") that we publish from time to time for those components of the service that you use.

All products and services are made as a single supply; your account may be suspended or closed if any sum due for a product or service is unpaid or is in arrears. Note: When subscribing to any of our specialised service using a DNS, a minimum charge period of 2 years applies. This will be charged on an annual basis.
