Background
Yourtel's contract terms oblige every customer not to use our facilities for unlawful purposes, including copyright infringement.
Yourtel terms entitle us to terminate a customer's account if the customer breaches them. This is our policy regarding customers who repeatedly commit copyright infringement.
We reserve the right to vary this policy from time to time, and to depart from it in particular cases if we consider it appropriate to do so. In particular, we may terminate an account without notice if we consider that the circumstances justify it.
