Billing Procedure

Affiliation terms are effective for one year. IRINN Affiliates are to renew their Affiliation every 12 months to keep the Affiliation account open.

Renewal reminder

- An annual Affiliation renewal reminder is mailed to all IRINN Affiliates at around 30 days before the Affiliation expiry date.

- Annual Affiliation fee calculations are based on the total number of IP addresses held under your account on the anniversary of your IRINN affiliate.

Upon Affiliation expiration

Renewal fee payment
Upon account expiration, the invoice for affiliation renewal, together with the payment instruction letter, is mailed to affiliates.

The Affiliation fee is based on the account's Internet resource holdings as of the Affiliation anniversary date

A hard copy of the invoice may also be obtained via MyIRINN under Administration > Billing history or upon request.

Payment guide
