Plans
We provide our Services structured in standard and custom plans that you may subscribe for, these including a basic plan provided free of charge (referred to as “Kitty”) and further, commercial plans provided for a monthly or annually recurring fee.
Terms Governing Use within a Plan
For each plan, specific terms are defined that govern the use of the Services within the plan. These terms may be predefined in standard plans or negotiated and included in custom plans tailored to specific needs.
Terms describing the plan specify which components of our services are available within the plan and determine the monthly limits for the use of these, measuring use in transactions as units of measurement. Transactions defined for each of our services are, as follows:
- For the map visualization service, a transaction is a session (a page view in a web application, an active session in a mobile application). Calling our map view API within reasonable limits in one session (user interaction with the map view loaded in a web page or application visualization requests within the session) will not generate additional transactions. If your application, however, exceeds an average of 50 requests per session during the billing period of your subscription, your plan will be revised;
- For the geocoding and route planning services, a transaction is a request to the relevant API;
- For any other services, definition of the measurement is agreed within custom plans.
If the use of the Services in your application exceeds within a month the monthly quota specified for the plan you are subscribed for, you will be notified about it in e-mail and will be given a 30-day period to upgrade your plan or contact us before we stop providing the Services to you. In case you fail to take within 30 days the necessary measures, we will suspend all our Services on your account.

In such cases we ensure that there is a legal basis for such a transfer and that adequate protection for your personal data is provided as required by applicable law, for example, by using standard agreements approved by relevant authorities (where necessary) and by requiring the use of other appropriate technical and organizational information security measures.
Mandatory disclosures

Mergers and Acquisitions
If we decide to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize our businesses in certain countries, this may involve us disclosing personal data to purchasers and their advisers, or receiving personal data from sellers and their advisers. In case of concluding such a transaction, we will notify our users about the transaction and inform them about the deadline to unsubscribe from our services in case they do not consent that the new owner accesses their personal data. After passing this deadline, we may disclose the personal data of remaining users of the site with the purchaser and their advisers.
Steps Taken to Safeguard Personal Data
