7.3. You will not use the Service in any manner that could reasonably be expected to cause any Shared IP Address or the Proxy Infrastructure to be blocked, throttled, rate-limited, blacklisted, or otherwise flagged, or that could subject us, any provider of the Proxy Infrastructure, any other user, or any third party to liability, investigation, or reputational harm.

8. Data Metering; Fees; Pass-Through of Notices and Demands

8.1. Metering. Usage of the Service is measured by the volume of data transferred over the network in connection with your requests, as recorded by us. Such data transfer is counted whether or not any individual request succeeds, completes, or returns usable results. You acknowledge that failed, partial, retried, and blocked requests nonetheless consume data and are measured and chargeable on the same basis as successful requests.

8.2. Fees. To the extent fees apply to your use of the Service, data transferred is the unit of measure on which such fees are based. Our records of data transferred are, absent manifest error, determinative for billing purposes.

8.3. Pass-Through of Notices and Demands. We may forward to you, and you agree to accept, any abuse complaint, takedown notice, cease-and-desist demand, subpoena, fine, penalty, assessment, claim, or other notice or legal demand that we receive and that arises out of or relates to your use of the Service. You agree to promptly assume, respond to, defend, and satisfy each such matter at your sole expense, and to indemnify and hold us harmless from and against it in accordance with, and in addition to, Section 6. This Section does not obligate us to forward any matter and does not waive any right we may have to respond to any matter directly.

9. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use of the service after modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

10. Governing Law

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law, without regard to conflict of law principles.
