if you are an individual subscriber, for your personal use only; or

The Corporate Subscriber may permit access only up to the agreed Corporate User Limit.

If the Corporate Subscriber wishes to increase the number of Corporate Users, it must contact Allied Media. Additional Subscription Fees may apply.

Allied Media may revise the Corporate User Limit following agreement with the Corporate Subscriber and payment of any applicable additional Subscription Fees.

Corporate Subscription Fees are based on the agreed Corporate User Limit.

Unless otherwise agreed, reductions in Corporate User numbers will take effect from the start of the next Subscription Period and will not entitle the Corporate Subscriber to a refund for Subscription Fees already paid.
