Fair use in media optimization by SparkCore
Fair use ensures the service stays fast and affordable for everyone. For normal use of a WordPress site or webshop, you won't notice it; the limits are there against abuse, not against everyday work.
In short
- Designed for normal site use, not for reselling computing power
- Ample margins for regular sites and webshops
- Full terms are in the fair use policy
What fair use means
Fair use means you use the optimization as intended: compressing and converting media on your own site or shop. A normal library, even a large one, easily fits within those limits.
The line is drawn at patterns that would slow down the service for others, such as automatically processing files that don't belong to your own site or reselling processing capacity.
What to watch for in practice
For most users, there's nothing you need to do. If you're running an exceptionally large batch or a reseller-like setup, just check with us about it so we can keep things running smoothly for everyone.
