In the case of lost, stolen or destroyed SIM cards, it is the Client’s responsibility to do the following:
Failure to notify the correct authorities of the loss of a SIM may result in criminal charges against the Client.
A Client using a SIM card obtained from Afrihost agrees that it will not use (or allow another to use) the network services, including the SIM card, for any improper or unlawful purpose, in a manner which may cause injury or damage to persons or property or which may impair or interrupt the network.
Clients may only use Apparatus approved by ICASA on the network (please see http://www.icasa.org for more details). Clients further agree that they will not (or allow another to) alter, modify or tamper with the software contained in, or relating to, any SIM card. Afrihost reserve the right to block any SIM or Apparatus from operating on the network.
If the SIM card has been destroyed due to the PUK number being entered incorrectly more than 9 (nine) times, user negligence, or any other reason, Afrihost will not be under any obligation to replace the SIM card free of charge.
Services are only available upon activation of the SIM by the network provider. Such activation may take up to 72 hours from the date of delivery. Such activation is not within the control of Afrihost, and therefore Afrihost cannot be liaible for any delays or costs that such delay may incur to the client.
Clients can purchase Data via the Afrihost ClientZone.
Afrihost will not default a Client onto out-of-bundle data charges upon depletion of the Client’s data bundles.
The Client consents to Afrihost allocating the Client’s Monthly Allocation and setting up threshold usage notifications.
Fixed Wireless products cannot be used in conjunction with other promotions or benefit programmes, such as Afrihost Plus+.
Packages cannot be changed during the month. All package changes are queued for the 23h59 on the final day of the month, regardless of whether the package is changed to a smaller or larger package.
Any package change can only be effected where the desired package is live and active on Afrihost's website. Afrihost is under no obligation to offer packages which are no longer live or active. Should a client change their package, they forfeit the ability to re-instate such package should it no longer be offered.
Telkom packages are offered as made available from Telkom. When a client subscribes to a package, the package will be guaranteed to remain as is for a minimum of 24 months (including the month that the service was initiated). However, should the product be discontinued by Telkom, clients will be required to select an equivalent package as offered by Telkom at the time. Afrihost has no control over what offers will be available at such time.
Telkom wireless packages may only be changed in ClientZone on one (1) occassion within a three (3) month calendar period. Package changes are submitted at the end of the month, and become effective at 23h59. The effective date of the package change (and not the date of request) initiates the 3 month period, during which no package changes are possible until the period expires.
Downgrades of Telkom Fixed Wireless packages will result in a R499 downgrade fee, payable on the 1st day of the new month when the new package becomes effective.
All Uncapped LTE packages are subject to a monthly threshold of 1TB. Once you’ve reached your monthly data limit, your connection speed will be limited to 1Mbps for the remainder of the month.
In the case of lost, stolen or destroyed SIM cards, it is the Client’s responsibility to do the following:
If the Client’s Data balance (as the case may be) falls below a minimum threshold the account will automatically be Topped-up by a certain increment. The minimum threshold and the Top-up increment will be as published on the Afrihost Website from time to time.
The aggregate of automatic Top-ups made any Calendar Month may be set by Afrihost (for security purposes).
Any unused Top-up Data shall be forfeited at 23h59 on the expiry date.
The minimum threshold may also be used for threshold usage notifications to be sent by Afrihost to the Client.
Clients can enable or disable automatic Top-up for Data via the Afrihost ClientZone.
A Top-up may be subject to different terms and conditions and any pricing or promotions applicable to the monthly purchased package may not necessarily apply to the Top-up.
Clients using existing SIMs issued by Telkom, RAIN, MTN, Cell C or other authorised distributors may have access to other APN settings. Clients will be responsible for choosing the appropriate APN for use on their Apparatus which will allow them to make use of the Service.
IF THE CLIENT DOES NOT ENTER THE CORRECT APN IT MAY BE UNABLE TO ACCESS THE SERVICE, AND AFRIHOST WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DATA LOST BY THE CLIENT AS A RESULT.
Clients confirm that Telkom, RAIN, MTN and/or Cell C may supply Afrihost with collected data and that all information supplied to Afrihost by Telkom, RAIN, MTN and/or Cell C is correct and up to date.
If the Agreement terminates for any reason, the above consent will automatically be removed and Afrihost will no longer access the personal information as described above, subject to any residual rights to process such personal information that Afrihost may have in law.
Afrihost may limit the number of signups for any Promotion Package at any time (or on a case by case basis).
Afrihost may end the Promotion without notice and is not obliged to offer the Promotion to new Clients should it end the Promotion and remove reference to the Promotion from its marketing (even if the Promotion was initially intended to run until a later date).

AFRIHOST WILL NOT ACCEPT THE RETURN OF USED DEVICES IN LIEU OF THE FEE BEING LEVIED. NON-PAYMENT OF THE CANCELLATION FEE WILL BE VIEWED AS A BREACH OF CLAUSE 10 OF AFRIHOST’S GENERAL TERMS (PAYMENT AND PENALTIES) AND THE PROVISIONS OF THOSE TERMS WILL BE ENFORCED.
Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of clause 12.1 of the General Terms, should a Promotional Package described in this clause 13 apply to the Services, the agreement will be treated as a fixed-term agreement under the provisions of section 14(1) of the CPA and section 14(3) of the CPA will apply.
Use of the Afrihost Fixed Wireless product does not automatically qualify clients for promotions run by Telkom, RAIN, MTN or Cell C directly. In general, any promotion, competition, special or discount offered directly by Telkom, RAIN, MTN or Cell C will have no bearing upon Afrihost's clients, unless explicitly stated by Afrihost.
