FAIR USAGE (CONSUMER)
DropTix offers excellent consumer and business models for our customers. The consumer model (self sign-up accounts) are cost effective and robust for small – medium businesses and individuals. Our business model caters for high usage business customers and is not subject to our fair usage policy. We offer different levels of infrastructure between high usage business customers and consumer customers to maintain our cost effective plans. Like any unlimited product, most have a fair usage policy to protect all customers. A good analogy would be an unlimited phone plan. This works within the bounds of expected use. If the user started a phone center from their unlimited phone plan :-).. this would undoubtedly prompt the company to contact the user to move to a more appropriate plan. 1. Over 35k guests month 1 – Account is flagged (customer is sent notification email of potential pending charges). 2. Over 35k guests month 2 – Account is charged $1 per check-in over 35k (this repeats up to 6 months). 3. Under 35k guests (months 3 – 6) – Account is de-flagged 4. If account is flagged again within 6 months, a request to move to our business models will be made.
