Three Evolve Fair Use Policies
Data Fair Use applies to unlimited data plans:
For plan allowances and the surcharge which applies if you exceed your roaming fair usage limit, please see the Price Guide at http://www.three.ie/legal/older-pricing/.

The EU fair use policy is applied in respect of the All you Can Eat Data service and the EU Roaming Allowance above is calculated in accordance with the EU fair use policy at http://www.three.ie/web/legal/consumer/.
Three has developed the fair use policy to ensure that all customers have a good mobile internet experience. It is important that customer use of unlimited data for mobile internet browsing is fair. Three has developed this threshold by reference to average high data usage for browsing on the mobile handset. In addition all usage must be for private, personal and non-commercial purposes. You may only use the feature for Internet Browsing on your Smartphone device. The service is restricted for use on the ‘Internet’ APN and you will be charged if you use a different APN. You may not use the unlimited data for mobile internet browsing if you are using your device as a modem or with your SIM card in or connected to any other device including modems. You may not use your unlimited data feature to allow the continuous streaming of any audio / video content, to enable Peer to Peer or file sharing, or in any way that adversely impacts the service to other Three customers.
If Three reasonably suspects you are not acting in accordance with the fair usage requirements, and having attempted to contact you first, Three reserves the right to switch you to an alternate inclusive data option with standard browsing charges, to impose network protection controls which may reduce your speed of transmission, to remove the Unlimited Data feature from your account or to terminate your price plan or your account. Three reserves the right to withdraw or amend this offer at any time on reasonable notice.
Unlimited Calls and Text Fair Use: This is applicable to Unlimited Three to Three calls and texts on Three Evolve 150 and Three Evolve 250 plans.

If, having considered the average high usage of calls and texts by customers, Three is of the opinion that your usage of the Service is excessive, then Three may contact you to advise you that your usage breaches the fair use policy. If the excessive usage continues to exceed the threshold after receipt of a request to desist from or alter the nature of such usage, Three reserves the right at its absolute discretion to: (i) impose further charges, or (ii) transfer you to a tariff which does not include unlimited texts or calls, or (iii) suspend, modify or restrict use of the Service or (iv) terminate your access to the Three network.
