stoppage, or obstruction of communications for any reason whatsoever, nor shall it be responsible for any
loss or damage arising from the delay in establishing communications or reconnecting them.
(4) The subscriber must take full care of the telephone set and all fittings and tools
attached to it, and must not cause or allow others to cause damage to it or make any change or
alteration to it. He must also not make or cause to be made any additions or changes to it,

bills are not paid during this period, and then this contract becomes terminated, provided that
this does not affect any of the government's rights or any measure taken by it.
The subscriber shall be obligated to pay the rent for the period of disconnection until the removal of the telephone
(including the date of removal). If the subscriber subsequently wishes to reinstall the telephone, he must
first pay all due fees and then sign a new contract and abide by its terms.
(7) a - If the subscriber leaves Iraq temporarily without paying the fees due from him, the device connection is cut
without warning. If all due amounts are not paid within seven days after the disconnection,
the device is removed, and the government may consider the contract canceled by the subscriber
and may also terminate it immediately.
b - A subscriber who leaves Iraq temporarily must either pay in advance the rental fee
due for the period of his absence from Iraq or make other arrangements to transfer
the amount or have it paid by an agent for him in Iraq, provided that the amount
paid for this purpose is not less than six months' rent; otherwise, the government shall have the right to take
the same measures mentioned in paragraph 7 (a), without prejudice to
any of the government's rights.

makes any other arrangement with them, or if anything occurs leading to the seizure of his house,
or if he violates any of the provisions of the contract articles or its conditions, or fails to follow them,
the Iraqi government shall have the right to terminate this contract by giving written notice without
paying any compensation and without prejudice to any of the government's rights or the measures
it takes to collect the arrears due to it or any other amounts
due to it under this contract.
