16. C3’s policies and procedures to manage traffic on the network

Traffic management is the term used to describe a range of technical practices undertaken to manage traffic across our network. In order to ensure our customers equally experience seamless broadband, C3 reserves the right to identify customers who excessively exceed bandwidth usage which may hinder the level of broadband service to other users. In order to do so, C3 administers packet inspection to identify peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing traffic which is less time sensitive than other real-time sensitive applications, such as web browsing or video streaming. P2P file sharing applications are less time sensitive enabling them to be slowed when Internet traffic becomes congested without disrupting a customer’s broadband usage. C3 does not examine content during packet inspection however the IP address will be stored for a limited time and C3 will not be privy to the content within communications nor the customers search history or activities. In order to effectively maintain consistency on the C3 network, traffic management will identify and asses traffic data along with the correlating IP address to determine what type of traffic is occurring and categorize the usage patterns. Once the data is sorted this information is not retained.

17.2       No delay or omission of C3 to exercise any right or remedy will impair any such right or remedy or be a waiver of any breach or default, nor will a waiver of any single breach or default, which must be in writing, be a waiver of any other breach or default.

17.3       This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.

17.4       If any provision of this Contract is found illegal, invalid or unenforceable, it will be modifiable in order to render it legal and enforceable, but will otherwise be considered severed and the other parts will remain in force and effect.

17.5       The parties shall attempt to amicably resolve any disagreement or dispute that may arise between them regarding the interpretation, performance of or failure to perform under this Contract.
