POLICY

Fair Usage Policy

Free/included usage is intended to help legitimate agencies operate efficiently, not to support duplicate-account avoidance.

Effective / last updated: 3 September 2026

Current allowance

Where the agency commercial model provides a monthly free platform-usage allowance, eligible activity within that allowance does not incur the platform usage fee. Distribution and media costs remain separate.

Usage beyond the allowance

Once an agency crosses the account’s applicable monthly threshold, subsequent eligible PR usage may attract the configured platform usage percentage, normally deducted from the FirstPublisher Wallet.

Duplicate-account review

FirstPublisher may review signals such as overlapping business identity, account relationships, repeated signup patterns and device/network evidence. A shared office or IP address alone should not automatically determine abuse.

Administrative review

Potential abuse is classified for review. Administrators may mark separate legitimate businesses, link related accounts, restrict free usage or suspend clear abuse with an audit trail.
