2.3. The Company shall, by the means of the Website, provide you the Services according to one of the subscription plans or terms applicable to product chosen by you. The Company reserves the right to change the content and the price of any subscription plan or product at any time. In this event, the change shall apply to you from the next billing period.

2.4. The Services do not constitute business, technical, legal, or any other sort of professional advice. The Company shall not be liable for the result of your use of the Services.

2.5. The Services' availability can be viewed at our Status Page.

2.6. Overlimits

If your usage exceeds any subscription limits (including but not limited to number of requests, requests-per-second (RPS), storage or other usage quotas) the Company may, at its sole discretion and without liability: (a) temporarily throttle or reduce your service; (b) suspend your access to the Services; and/or (c) automatically upgrade your account to a higher paid subscription level.

The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you prior to any suspension or automatic upgrade where practicable, however it is your obligation to monitor the subscription limits on your own to avoid overlimits.

No overlimit, suspension, throttling or automatic upgrade will entitle you to any refund, credit, or fee reduction unless the Company expressly agrees in writing.

2.7. Automatic disabling for low‑usage containers

For the purposes of this Section, "Small Usage" means sustained usage of fewer than 4,000 requests in a rolling 30‑day period. "Anomalous Low‑Usage Containers" are containers that (a) record Small Usage and (b) show traffic patterns that, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, appear to be machine‑generated, technical requests, monitoring probes, or otherwise non‑end‑user site traffic.

You may enable the "Do not disable for small usage" option for a container. Notwithstanding that preference, if a container meets the criteria for an Anomalous Low‑Usage Container (including being below the Small Usage threshold), the Company may treat it as eligible for disabling or restriction under this Section.

If a container is classified as an Anomalous Low‑Usage Container, the Company may, at its sole discretion and without liability: (a) temporarily throttle or restrict the container; (b) disable the container; and/or (c) require or automatically apply an account upgrade to a plan adequate for the container's usage profile.

The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you by email to the account contact 3 business days before disabling the container. If immediate action is necessary to protect the Service or prevent undue costs, the Company may impose temporary restrictions or disable the container with shorter notice and will promptly notify you.

The measures described in this Section are in addition to the Company’s rights under Section 2.7 and elsewhere in these Terms.

2.8. Additional automatic disabling of containers

In addition to the provisions in Section 2.7 and elsewhere in these Terms, the Company may automatically disable, throttle, restrict, or delete containers on both paid and free plans in accordance with the Company's internal specifications and procedures. These measures are designed to ensure efficient resource allocation, prevent abuse, maintain service integrity, and address issues such as low usage, exceeded limits, non-payment, or anomalous activity.

The reasons for the above mentioned restrictions shall cover, but are not limited, with the following: (i) Low or No Usage (Free Plans): Containers with sustained low activity (e.g., minimal requests over specified periods) may be scheduled for disabling after a notice period, as detailed in internal procedures, (ii) Exceeded Usage Limits (Paid and Free Plans): If usage exceeds plan limits, containers may be disabled after calculated grace periods, potentially with subscription cancellation, (iii) Non-Payment (Paid Plans): Subscriptions that are canceled, expired, or overdue beyond grace periods may result in container disabling, (iv) High or Anomalous Usage: Sudden spikes or patterns indicating abuse may trigger immediate or scheduled disabling, (v) Manual or Forced Actions: In exceptional cases, containers may be manually disabled per internal guidelines, overriding user preferences where necessary.

The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you by email to the account contact 3 business days before disabling, unless immediate action is required to protect the Service or prevent undue costs, in which case shorter notice may be provided.

Actions may include setting container status to disabled, deleting containers (unless opted out), canceling subscriptions, or requiring plan upgrades. These are at the Company's sole discretion and without liability. You may contact support for appeals or reactivation.

2.9. Free container limits

You are limited to a maximum of five free containers per resource or account, as determined by the Company's internal specifications. You may delete existing free containers and create new ones, provided the total does not exceed this limit of five. Attempts to create or maintain more than five free containers may result in automatic disabling, restriction, or deletion of excess containers without prior notice. To use additional containers beyond this limit, you must upgrade to a paid plan.

2.10. Free Signal Gateways limits

You are limited to a maximum of five free Signal Gateways per resource or account, as determined by the Company's internal specifications. You may delete existing free Signal Gateways and create new ones, provided the total does not exceed this limit of five. Attempts to create or maintain more than five free Signal Gateways may result in automatic disabling, restriction, or deletion of excess signal gateways without prior notice. To use additional signal gateways beyond this limit, you must upgrade to a paid plan.

"Consolidated Invoice" is a billing feature that allows a single invoice to be issued for multiple Subscriptions associated with (i) a Client account, or (ii) an Agency/Partner master account and its sub-accounts, as applicable.

Company does not act as a tax agent, intermediary, or reseller for the Partner or Agency. The Partner or Agency is solely responsible for all tax obligations, including VAT, sales tax, or income tax arising from payments made on behalf of Clients. Company will not withhold, report, or remit taxes on the Partner's or Agency's behalf.

In the case the Partner shall participate in Consolidated Invoice per registration in the Partner Program, Company shall provide Services directly to Clients introduced by the Partner via the referral mechanisms.

The Partner reserves the right to collect payments from such Clients independently. For Consolidated Invoice, Company will bill the Partner directly for Client Services, and the Partner authorizes Company to receive payments from the Partner's billing details.

Partner agrees to indemnify Company against any tax claims, penalties, or liabilities arising from Partner's use of Consolidated Invoice.

Agencies that act on behalf of Clients may use Consolidated Invoice. For Agencies, the same provisions apply as for Partners, except that Agencies do not participate in the Partner Program.

Agencies are solely responsible for collecting, reporting, and remitting taxes and for any other obligations arising from billing on Clients' behalf.

Agencies agree to indemnify Company against any tax claims, penalties, or liabilities arising from Agency use of Consolidated Invoice.

Clients billed through Consolidated Invoice via Partner or Agency remain the end recipients of Company's Services and must ensure payments are made through the Partner or Agency. Failure of the Partner or Agency to pay may result in suspension or termination of Services to the Client.

Refunds, chargebacks, or disputes regarding amounts collected by a Partner or Agency will be handled between the Client and such Partner or Agency; Company is not liable for disputes solely between the Client and the Partner or Agency, except as required by applicable law.

Clients which chose the Consolidated Invoice for personal use shall ensure the payments are made in accordance with the terms of the Subscription and this Terms of Use.

5.1.1. Cancellation and Deletion under Consolidated Invoice

In the event of an active Consolidated Invoice, subscription cancellations and/or product deletions shall take effect immediately upon the Client's initiation of the action. For subscriptions processed through any payment provider, any remaining balance may be refunded automatically to the Client's account, depending on the capabilities of the provider used. In cases where automatic refunds are not supported, refunds shall be processed manually upon the Client's request to Company support. It is the Client's responsibility to verify that the refund has been executed, if it has not, the Client must contact Company support to initiate a manual refund.

The Client remains responsible for any taxes, fees, or obligations accrued prior to the cancellation or deletion date. Service interruptions or suspensions may occur if payments are not transitioned promptly. Company is not liable for any disputes arising from the cancellation or deletion, and the Client agrees to indemnify Company against claims from the Partner, Agency, or third parties related to this process.

Company is not liable for any disputes arising from the deactivation, and the Partner or Agency agrees to indemnify Company against any claims, disputes, or liabilities arising from the opt-out, including Client disputes or tax implications.

Opt-out does not affect other conditions of these Terms of Use.

Company reserves the right to terminate a Client's, Partner's or Agency's participation in Consolidated Invoice, either for specific Client accounts or entirely, with 14 days' notice (or immediately in cases of repeated or material violations), if the Partner or Agency fails to make timely payments, breaches tax obligations, or otherwise violates these Terms.

Upon termination by Company: (i) Company will notify affected Clients and offer them the option to transition to direct billing; (ii) the Partner or Agency will remain liable for all outstanding payments and agrees to indemnify Company against any resulting claims, penalties, or service disruptions; and (iii) termination does not relieve the Partner or Agency of prior obligations, including tax responsibilities.

The Company will invoice the Client, Partner or Agency as the payer and include product  details for transparency but will not withhold, report, or remit taxes on behalf of the Client, Partner or Agency.

Clients, Partners and Agencies are solely responsible for their tax obligations arising from Consolidated Invoice and agree to indemnify Company against any tax claims, penalties, or liabilities.

In case of existence of both monthly and annual subscriptions, Company shall issue two Consolidated invoices, one to cover the monthly subscription and one to cover the annual subscription.
