Terms and conditions
- The connectivity provided by Afrihost is meant to be used on the school premises to benefit the staff and pupils. Should the school decide to give access to visitors and parents at their discretion, this is acceptable as long as the pupils and staff still benefit.
- The connection is provided indefinitely until such a time where Afrihost revises the arrangement. At such time we will notify all schools concerned.
- If you need to cancel your services, cancellations need to be done a month in advance on Clientzone before our billing run which starts on the 21st of every month.
- Please note that we will offer Fibre routers along with the free data as long as it is approved by Afrihost under either a promo they are running or by the discretion of its decision makers. Any extenders and hardware/software the school needs will be supplied and installed by a company they select at their cost. Afrihost will not do the trenching and extending of wifi signals and infrastructure.
- If and when the contact person for the school (Provided on the sign-up details on the site) changes, kindly update this in your ClientZone portal. Afrihost won’t be held liable to change these details for you, we do however need them up to date at all times.
- Please ensure that the delivery address you enter for the router delivery is the same one as the school. The only exceptions to this are when there is no one to receive the router at the school, in cases such as closure of schools or the contact person not being at the school and preferring to receive the router themselves at another location.
- Afrihost wishes to develop a mutual relationship whereby we can utilize marketing avenues and events that the school may offer at choice times at no cost to Afrihost. We prefer to align our efforts with the school’s brand, vision and image at all times. Should we approach the school for any marketing opportunities, we will do so with respect and encourage discussions of the proposed plans beforehand so that we move forward mutually satisfied. Newsletters, school Facebook page, D6 app (if applicable) and select school events are examples of such initiatives.
- Once the Fibre has been installed Afrihost wishes to put up signage at the front gate indicating that we are a sponsor to the school.
- ALL sign ups need to be done on the Afrihost website - school.afrihost.com - below and all details filled in as well as valid payment details. Once completed email schools@afrihost.com immediately.
- Please be advised that if you can’t provide the registration documents for the school and signed terms and conditions, we reserve the right to deny service.
