  • Fair Use
    • You will get cloud storage and a number of app views within the genARate platform. However, the services are provided on the basis of a fair use policy. Should your digital content generate an amount of traffic to our servers such that this impacts our cost of operation, we will reserve the right to throttle or temporarily disable access to your digital content or offer you an upgrade to enterprise services.
      The threshold for such an event is when traffic to your digital content exceeds the average customer usage for repeated, prolonged periods of time over the course of multiple days. We will warn you prior to taking such measures with the goal of reaching a common understanding on how to proceed.
      If you propose to use genARate on products which are intended for distribution or sale to the public, you must contact us first where you are intending to distribute or sell in excess of 10,000 units to make sure that such use can be accommodated by our technology platform. We reserve the right to impose additional charges for such use.
      If you breach our fair use policy, we will normally ask you to correct your behaviour first before taking any action under this Clause but reserve the right not to give notice in the case of deliberate, serious or persistent breaches or misuse of the services.
      Use the services (either individually or collectively with other Users) in any manner that is excessive, abnormal, or places a significant burden on our platform, website, online services or network, whereby such use does, will or could negatively impact or adversely affect optimal platform performance shall be deemed by us unfair use and entitle us, in our discretion, to terminate the service.
    • For Starter License accounts some restrictions to the fair use policy apply: Starter License accounts are limited to an aggregate total of 40,000 scans per 12 month subscription period. If you anticipate that you will exceed this number of scans please contact our sales team before your license expires and we can discuss your other options.
