Fair Use Policy – ModernOffice Support Plan

This Fair Use Policy applies to ModernOffice Support Plan. It allows us to offer generous Included Remote Support (phone and email) remote support to customers who make a normal amount of usage of the service. To do this we have to restrict people who use the service excessively.

To ensure the enjoyment and availability of ModernOffice Support Plan to all our eligible customers, we have introduced this policy to make sure everyone gets a fair-go. We have designed ModernOffice Support Plan to be generous, but we do not want it to be abused.

If we think your account shows an excessive usage, we may at our discretion refuse you access to ModernOffice Support Plan.

To ensure we do not unreasonably restrict our Customers, these steps will be followed if we consider an account to be showing excessive use:

Month 1: geezit may contact individual Customers identified as exceeding two (2) times the average usage of all ModernOffice Support Plan customers, to discuss their usage requirements. Where a peak in usage occurs but is not expected to continue, no alternative arrangements are necessary.
Month 2: If the excessive usage continues in a second month, a second contact may be made to discuss an alternative plan.
Month 3: If the excessive usage continues into the third month, the Customer may be informed that ModernOffice Support Plan will no longer be available to them.

Excessive Use

For the purposes of this fair use policy, excessive use is a continuing and unreasonably disproportionate use of the service when compared to other users. In the case of ModernOffice Support Plan, remote/phone/email support use in excess of two (2) times the average usage of all ModernOffice Support Plan customers on the same plan is considered excessive use.

Unreasonable Use

We consider your use of ModernOffice Support Plan to be Unreasonable Use if your use of ModernOffice Support Plan is considered fraudulent by geezit or to adversely affect another customer’s use of ModernOffice Support Plan.

Where we consider your use of ModernOffice Support Plan Included phone/remote/email support to be Unreasonable Use, then we may suspend your access to ModernOffice Support Plan immediately, without notice to you.
