3. We reserve the right to vary the terms of this Fair Use Policy from time to time.
4. This Fair Use Policy is in addition to Your Nearmap Agreement and in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Fair Use Policy and the terms and conditions of Your Nearmap Agreement, Your Nearmap Agreement prevails.
Unreasonable Use
5. We consider Your use of the Products and Services unreasonable where You use it in a manner which is reasonably considered by Nearmap to be fraudulent use, to be contrary to Your Nearmap Agreement or to adversely affect other Nearmap customers’ use of or access to the Products and Services.
6. Among other things, “fraudulent use” includes resupply of the Products and Services without Nearmap’s consent so that someone else may access or use the Products and Services or take advantage of the Products and Services.
Excessive Use
7. Excessive Use is a continuing and unreasonably disproportionate use of the Products and Services when compared to other average individual named users.
