may attract a 10 cent per transaction charge.

feature and begin applying quota or other restrictions to your account.
To ensure we do not unreasonably restrict our customers, the following steps
will occur if we consider that a service is showing excessive use:
Step 1:
We may contact individual customers identified as exceeding ten (10) times the
average use of all customers, to discuss their usage requirements. Where a peak
in usage occurs but is not expected to continue, no alternative arrangements are
necessary.
Step 2:
If the excessive usage continues, a second contact may be made to discuss an
alternative plan.
Step 3:
If the excessive usage continues, the customer may be informed that a quota will
be activated on their service and that they may be charged excessive use
penalties.
