9. Fair Usage Policy

1. 1. At MyRepublic, we want all of our customers to get the best calling plans, known as ‘subscriptions’, at the lowest possible price. This Fair Usage Policy (“FUP”) is designed to prevent fraud and abuse of our subscriptions by a small number of users.
      
      
   2. Subject to this FUP, MyRepublic’s unlimited local calls subscriptions allow unlimited calls to Singapore (excluding special, premium, service and non-geographic numbers). Unlimited calls to mobiles are also included. All calls will be disconnected and require a re-dial after a 5-hour duration.
      
      
   3. MyRepublic’s subscriptions are for individual use only (personal or business communications) in accordance with our Terms of Use and this FUP (“Legitimate Use”). The following is a non-exhaustive list of practices that would not be considered Legitimate Use:
      
      
      • Using subscriptions for telemarketing or call centre operations;
        
        
      • Re-selling subscription minutes;
        
        
      • Sharing subscriptions between users whether via a PBX, call centre, computer or any other means;
        
        
      • Calling numbers (whether singly, sequentially or automatically) to generate income for yourself or others as a result of placing the call, other than for your individual business communications; and
        
        
      • Unusual calling patterns inconsistent with normal, individual subscription use, for example, regular calls of short duration or calls to multiple numbers in a short period of time.
        
        
   4. Other practices may be relevant in determining Legitimate Use and MyRepublic reserves the right to take any unlawful, prohibited, abnormal or unusual activity into account in making its determination. MyRepublic may at its option, terminate its relationship with you, or may suspend your subscription immediately if it determines you are using your subscription contrary to this FUP or MyRepublic’s Terms of Use. Where reasonable, MyRepublic will provide you with notice of improper usage before suspension or termination of your subscription and, if appropriate, MyRepublic may offer you an alternative subscription.
