More specifically, we ensure that our Clients comply by assessing their average monthly bandwidth usage over a twelve-month period. Should the usage of our Services exceed the typical patterns for game hosting or deviate from the customary behavior of our Clients, it may be categorized as excessive and/or unreasonable.
Our Fair Use Policy delineates specific bandwidth allocations; aggregated per geographical location:
- 20 Terabytes (TB) per server in North America and Europe;
- 5TB per server in APAC (excluding Mumbai); and
- 2TB per server in MEA, LATAM regions and Mumbai.

Subsequently, we may request your collaboration in adjusting your game hosting accordingly. Should excessive and/or unreasonable usage persist following the adjustment, we may assess charges on your account without prior notification. We reserve the right to suspend, modify or restrict the use of game hosting services in case of policy breaches.
