Pursuant to ARIN's policies, as they exist from time to time, Subscriber must use name-based hosting whenever possible. Pragma will periodically review IP address usage, and if Pragma finds that Subscriber and/or Subscriber's Sub-Users are using IP addresses or numbers where name-based hosting could be used, Pragma will revoke authorization for the use of those IP addresses/numbers. All IP addresses/numbers that are allocated to Subscriber must be utilized within forty-eight (48) hours of allocation, otherwise Pragma may retract said unused IP address or number without prior notification to Subscriber.
