4. Usage Amounts of Services

AccelReviews’s priority to its clients is to keep the Services available and running at optimal speed, which requires each client to use the Services fairly and reasonably so as to not affect the access or use by other clients. The Services include broad access to a variety of resources such as bandwidth, API requests, and storage which are not unlimited (unless expressly stated as such in a Customer Agreement, Order Form, or other agreement) or the overuse of which would affect the stability of the AccelReviews platform, including but not limited to the Services, which is why we have this fair use clause (“Fair Use Policy” or “FUP”).

Acceptable Fair use will be considered the processing of 3 times the average number of requests or processed transactions per Location (as that term is defined in a Customer Agreement, Order Form, or other written agreement) for other AccelReviews clients in the same or similar industry. If AccelReviews determines your use of the Services is in violation of its Acceptable Fair Use Policy, in its sole reasonable discretion, AccelReviews may take unilateral action regarding your use of the Services, including, but not limited to, limiting the frequency of access to the Services or limiting the number of processed requests through the Services in order to bring usage in line with this policy FUP.

AccelReviews reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any AccelReviews Content and any User Content, that AccelReviews, in its sole discretion, considers to be in violation of this Acceptable Use Policy or otherwise harmful to the Site or Services.

AccelReviews also reserves the unilateral right to terminate your use of the Services if you are in violation of this Policy. You understand, acknowledge, and agree that AccelReviews will have no liability to you or any of your users for enforcing this Policy, and enforcement will not affect your obligations under these terms, which include the payment of fees for the Services, including reimbursement of damages incurred as applicable. In the event of termination, the user will not be refunded any or part of unused Services and forfeits any claim to unused fees.
