Some indicators of inappropriate use are, but are not limited to the following:

We will make reasonable attempts to contact you prior to or immediately after any suspension of service to give you the opportunity to address the breach however we are under no obligation to contact you before terminating or suspending your account if we believe that it is warranted in the circumstances.

Support Policy
For any queries or support requests you may contact us using the following means:
From 8:30am to 5:00pm AEST, excluding Queensland public holidays.
If we cannot deal with your issue by the above methods, then we may brief a support representative who may request access via a remote support session. In the event your issue is not resolved following the remote support session, we may send a field representative to you.
The field representatives are appointed by and trained by us. Field representatives will not set up or manage your computer(s) – this is your responsibility. All field representative are agents or employees of FXBC.
Where possible please email us the issue so we have a clear understanding. Sometimes with accents and language diversity the telephone is not the best communication medium.
A full support ticketing system and policy is in place. Each contact and request for assistance needs to be dealt with in turn and according to priority that we will determine. We will email or ring you back where appropriate using Skype for Business, an Australian landline or an Australian mobile number.
Support issues will be dealt with promptly – we know how reliant you are on the System. We will deal with each request within four (4) hours of ticketing when received during support hours. We will deal with each request received outside support hours before 11am the next day. In many cases we may be able to deal with the issue immediately and will do so when we can. Whether we can deal with it or not depends on a range of issues many of which are outside our control.
The meaning of ‘deal with’ in these circumstances is to at least address the issue and contact you about it. The nature of the issue will determine the ultimate outcome and the time taken to resolve the request.
