3. Rate Limits and Fair Use

3.1 Rate Limits

MITRITY enforces rate limits on API calls and Edge Node data ingestion to ensure fair use and Service stability. Current rate limits are published in the API documentation at https://mitrity.com/docs/api-reference.

Resource	Starter	Professional	Enterprise
API requests	[STARTER_API_LIMIT]/min	[PRO_API_LIMIT]/min	Custom
Edge Node events ingested	[STARTER_EVENT_LIMIT]/sec	[PRO_EVENT_LIMIT]/sec	Custom
Concurrent Edge Nodes	[STARTER_EDGE_NODE_LIMIT]	[PRO_EDGE_NODE_LIMIT]	Custom
Data retention	[STARTER_RETENTION]	[PRO_RETENTION]	Custom

Enterprise customers may negotiate custom limits in their Order Form.

3.2 Fair Use

Even within published rate limits, MITRITY reserves the right to throttle or restrict usage patterns that:

(a) Place disproportionate load on the Service infrastructure relative to the Subscription Plan;

(b) Negatively impact the performance or availability of the Service for other customers; or

(c) Are inconsistent with the intended use of the Service.

MITRITY will contact Customer before imposing restrictions under this section and will work with Customer to find an appropriate solution, which may include upgrading the Subscription Plan.

3.3 Burst Tolerance

MITRITY allows reasonable short-term bursts above published rate limits to accommodate legitimate operational spikes. Sustained usage above rate limits is not permitted without a plan upgrade or explicit written agreement.

MITRITY treats violation reports confidentially and will not disclose the identity of the reporter except as required by law or as necessary to investigate the report.

6.4 Effect on Fees

Suspension or termination for AUP violations does not entitle Customer to a refund of prepaid fees.

7. Vulnerability Disclosure

7.1 Responsible Disclosure

If you discover a potential security vulnerability in the Service, we encourage responsible disclosure. Please report vulnerabilities to soc@mitrity.com rather than publicly disclosing them.
