- (A) Spamming
Sending large volumes of unsolicited commercial e-mail over the Internet using a Fragnetics-hosted email or URL to distribute commercial e-mail is prohibited. Besides the obvious setback of impeding the network and disrupting service to other subscribers, it poses a highly negative threat to the reputation and consumer attitudes toward Fragnetics, thus users who utilize Fragnetics services for mail bombing or mail fraud are subject to prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. Anyone who uses a Fragnetics account or employs Fragnetics services in any way to spam, mail-bomb, or otherwise create inconvenience for a third party in such a way as to deem it necessary to notify the Fragnetics webmasters will be strictly dealt with.

(III) Settlement of Fees
A non-payment of the agreed sum of money in full on stipulated dates of payment will be regarded as a breach of this acceptable use policy. Payment not remitted in full will also be considered as a non-payment of fees. The issue of non-payment or late and overdue payment will be settled separately from the above violations in the respective ways in the following categories:
- (A) Late and Overdue Payment of Fees
- Late Payment of Fees
The Fragnetics network expects the agreed sums to be remitted in full by 1200 (+8 GMT) of the specified date. If the sum is not received by the Fragnetics network before this time, and deferral of payment has not been authorized to the customer, it is deemed as a non-payment of fees. If, however, the full payment is received within one month of the specified time, it is considered as a late payment of fees.
The Fragnetics network will not charge for the first two late payments. However, the third and subsequent late payments will incur a surplus charge. This surplus charge will be incurred even if a deferral has been authorized, and will be calculated at 10% of the customer's bill. This extra charge will be not be added to the current late bill, and is payable upon the subsequent month.
- Overdue Payment of Fees
If deferral of payment has not been authorized to the customer, and payment is not received within a month of the stipulated billing time, it is considered as an overdue payment of fees and a surplus of 20% will immediately be charged to the customer's account. This amount will be payable upon the subsequent month.
- Additional Information
There will be no leeway for the charge on overdue payments.
All late or overdue fees cannot be carried over and must be paid on the subsequent month in full or this will warrant a non-payment of fees.
- (B) Non-Payment of Fees
- Definition
If deferral of payment has not been authorized to the customer, and payment of the bill in full is not received within two months of the stipulated billing time, it is considered as a non-payment of fees.
- Termination of Account resulting from Non-payment of Fees
Non-payment of fees will subject the customer's account to immediate termination if correspondence is not received from the customer within the two-month period. If your account has been terminated due to a non-payment of fees, you may request for a reinstatement from the webmasters who will determine the penalty on a case by case basis.
- (C) Deferral of Payment
If you are unable to pay, or encounter difficulty in the settlement of fees on time, you can request the Fragnetics network for a deferral of fees via email to the webmasters. Deferral will be authorized only on a case by case basis and the authorization of deferral is decided and granted solely by the webmasters. Supporting documentation or evidence of difficulty of payment may be provided via mail or e-mail but the decision will ultimately be made by the administrators.
