Contentstack includes a variety of components in the Software but will provide for policies regarding certain parameters in order to keep the Software stable, available and uniform. Customers who exceed these parameters will be required to have a separate infrastructure to which additional costs shall apply. 

Contentstack reserves the right to update the limits, guidelines, and parameters including (without limitation) to add limits on modules created in the future. All customers are required to comply with the limits, guidelines, and parameters set out in the MSA, Order Form and this Services Description. Contentstack reserves the right to bill for added Stacks retroactively or limit access to certain features (e.g., Stacks, Branches, Publishing Environments) based on utilization in excess of subscription or Fair Use limits.

Fair Use policies apply to Contentstack’s shared cloud but many can be extended for Scale and X5 tier customers.
