1. Introduction and Purpose

This Fair Use Policy defines reasonable usage limits for Browser.lol Services to ensure fair access and optimal performance for all users. This policy is incorporated into and forms part of our Terms of Service.

Our Services are designed for typical business and personal use. While we offer generous resource allocations, this policy exists to prevent abuse that could negatively impact other users' experience or strain our infrastructure.

Fair use ensures that resources remain available for all customers and maintains service quality across our platform.

2. Fair Use Principles

Fair use is determined by evaluating your usage patterns relative to:

  • Your subscription plan: Each plan has specific limits and allocations
  • Average usage patterns: Your usage compared to similar customers on the same plan
  • Resource impact: The effect of your usage on infrastructure and other users
  • Business purpose: Whether usage aligns with the intended purpose of the Services
  • Consistency with guidelines: Compliance with our Acceptable Use Policy

We monitor usage to detect patterns that may indicate excessive or inappropriate use. Our goal is to maintain a sustainable, high-quality service for all users.

3. Resource Limits and Guidelines

3.1. Browser Workspace Usage

Each plan includes specific limits for browser workspace usage, such as the number of concurrent workspaces, inactivity timeouts, and maximum session durations:

Free Plan

  • Ad-supported (periodic ads may be required to keep sessions active)
  • Limited concurrency, shorter inactivity timeouts and session durations
  • Limited browser selection

Paid Plans (Browser Unlock, Premium, and legacy subscriptions)

  • Higher or no ad requirements
  • Longer inactivity timeouts and session durations
  • Full browser selection
  • API access (where included in the plan)

The specific, current limits for each plan are displayed on our pricing page and in your account dashboard; those displayed values are authoritative.

3.2. Bandwidth Usage

We do not impose hard bandwidth caps, but excessive consumption may be reviewed. As guidance, sustained consumption of several hundred gigabytes per month (e.g., consistently exceeding 500 GB) may trigger a review.

Excessive bandwidth usage for purposes such as torrenting, continuous video streaming to third parties, or using workspaces as CDN/proxy services is prohibited.

3.3. Computational Resources

Each browser workspace has allocated CPU and memory resources. Fair use includes:

  • CPU: Workspaces should not continuously max out CPU resources for extended periods
  • Memory: Memory usage should remain within the allocated limits of your plan
  • Processes: Running excessive background processes or cryptocurrency mining is prohibited

Resource-intensive activities that materially impact other users may be throttled or restricted to ensure fair access for all users.

3.4. Storage Limits

Browser workspaces are ephemeral and not designed for long-term storage:

  • Files downloaded within a workspace are deleted when the workspace session ends
  • Using workspaces as file storage or hosting services is prohibited

3.5. API Usage (Where Applicable)

If your plan includes API access, fair use guidelines apply:

  • Rate Limits: As documented in our API documentation and your plan
  • Burst Limits: Short bursts above the rate limit may be tolerated, but sustained exceeding is prohibited
  • Caching: Implement appropriate caching to minimize redundant API calls

3.6. Integrated Mail Service

For users with access to our integrated mail service:

  • Maximum messages stored: 50 (oldest deleted when exceeded)
  • Message retention: 30 days
  • Using the mail service for spam, bulk email, or mass marketing is strictly prohibited

4. Prohibited Resource Usage

The following activities are considered violations of fair use and are prohibited:

  • Cryptocurrency Mining: Using browser workspaces for cryptocurrency mining or similar compute-intensive operations
  • Proxy/VPN Services: Operating browser workspaces as proxy servers or VPN services for third parties
  • Continuous Downloading: Using workspaces for continuous downloading of large files or torrenting
  • Automated Scraping: Running automated web scraping operations that generate excessive bandwidth or requests
  • DDoS or Network Attacks: Using resources to launch denial-of-service attacks or network scanning
  • Reselling Services: Reselling or sublicensing workspace access to third parties without authorization
  • Multiple Account Abuse: Creating multiple accounts to circumvent plan limits
  • Session Manipulation: Using automated tools to prevent session timeouts or artificially extend sessions

For a complete list of prohibited activities, see our Acceptable Use Policy.

5. Monitoring and Enforcement

5.1. Usage Monitoring

We automatically monitor resource usage to ensure compliance with this policy, including:

  • Number of active and total workspace sessions
  • Session duration and frequency
  • Bandwidth consumption patterns
  • CPU and memory utilization
  • API request rates and patterns
  • Storage usage

This monitoring is automated and does not involve inspection of the content within your browser sessions, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

5.2. Enforcement Actions

If we determine that your usage exceeds fair use limits, we may take one or more of the following actions:

Step 1: Warning

Email notification explaining the issue and requesting you reduce usage

Step 2: Throttling

Temporary reduction in service speed or resource allocation

Step 3: Suspension

Temporary suspension of service until the issue is resolved

Step 4: Termination

Permanent termination of account for severe or repeated violations

The specific action taken depends on the severity of the violation, your usage history, and your response to previous warnings. We reserve the right to immediately suspend or terminate accounts engaged in activities that pose security risks or significantly impact other users.

5.3. Appeals Process
