3.Data Restrictions

3.1Authorised Data Only. You may upload to the Service only data for which you hold all necessary rights, licences, permissions, and consents to upload and process. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to upload all data you submit to the Service and that such upload does not violate the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or contractual obligations of any third party.

3.2No Sanctioned or Embargoed Data. You shall not upload or process data that is subject to U.S. export controls (including ITAR-controlled technical data or EAR-controlled items) or that originates from or relates to activities in jurisdictions subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine), unless Seismic Swift AI has provided prior written authorisation following appropriate compliance review.

3.3No Sensitive Personal Data. The Service is not designed or authorised for the processing of special categories of personal data as defined by GDPR Article 9 (e.g., biometric data, health data, genetic data, data concerning racial or ethnic origin) or of personal financial data, payment card data, or government-issued identity numbers, except to the extent expressly authorised in writing by Seismic Swift AI. You shall not include such data in Customer Data without prior written authorisation.

3.4No Malicious or Synthetic Data Designed to Degrade Service. You shall not upload data that is specifically designed or structured to exploit vulnerabilities in the Service's data parsing, storage, or processing infrastructure.

3.5Confidential Third-Party Data. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have the contractual and legal authority to upload data owned by or relating to third parties, including data licensed from seismic data libraries, national data repositories, joint venture partners, or regulatory authorities.

4.Resource Limits

4.1The Service enforces rate limits and resource quotas to ensure fair usage and platform stability for all customers. The following limits apply per subscription tier:

Tier	API Requests	Burst Rate	Storage	Upload/Day	Pipelines
Starter	100 req/min	20 req/s	100 GB	10 GB/day	5 concurrent
Professional	500 req/min	100 req/s	2 TB	100 GB/day	20 concurrent
Enterprise	2,000 req/min	500 req/s	Unlimited	1 TB/day	100 concurrent

4.2When a rate limit is reached, the API returns HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) with Retry-After, X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset headers. API clients must implement exponential backoff with decorrelated jitter when handling rate-limit responses.

4.3Sustained or repeated violations of rate limits or resource quotas may result in temporary throttling, reduction of effective rate limits, or account suspension at Seismic Swift AI's discretion.

4.4Enterprise customers with requirements exceeding the standard resource limits may request custom limits by contacting sales@seismicswiftai.com. Custom limits must be agreed in writing and reflected in the applicable Order Form.

5.Monitoring

5.1Seismic Swift AI monitors usage of the Service for security, performance, abuse prevention, and regulatory compliance purposes. Monitoring activities include: automated analysis of API request patterns to detect rate-limit violations and anomalous behaviour; security event logging and alerting; resource consumption tracking; and audit trail maintenance as required by SOC 2 Type II controls.

5.2Seismic Swift AI's monitoring does not include accessing the content of Customer Data (seismic files, interpretation results) for purposes other than providing the Service, except: (a) as required to respond to a security incident; (b) as required by applicable law or court order; or (c) with Customer's explicit prior written consent.

5.3Seismic Swift AI may use aggregated, anonymised metadata (e.g., API call counts, feature usage rates, job completion rates) derived from usage monitoring to improve the Service, subject to the terms of the Privacy Policy. Such aggregated data does not identify individual customers or users.

5.4All monitoring activities are subject to the data protection obligations set forth in the Privacy Policy and, where applicable, the Data Processing Addendum. Monitoring data is retained in accordance with Seismic Swift AI's data retention schedules.

6.Enforcement

6.1Seismic Swift AI reserves the right to investigate and take appropriate enforcement action in response to any actual or suspected violation of this AUP, the Terms of Service, or applicable law. Enforcement actions will be applied proportionately to the nature and severity of the violation and may include:

—Written Warning: A formal written notice identifying the violation, describing the required corrective action, and specifying the timeframe within which remediation must be completed. Warnings will be issued for first-time, non-critical violations.

—API Throttling: Temporary reduction of rate limits or resource quotas to below the standard tier limits, effective until the violation is remediated. Throttling may be applied without advance notice in cases involving active resource abuse.

—Feature Restriction: Temporary disabling of specific Service features pending investigation or remediation of a suspected violation.

—Account Suspension: Temporary suspension of all access to the Service, with advance notice where practicable. Account data is preserved during suspension. Suspension will be lifted upon satisfactory resolution of the violation.

—Account Termination: Permanent termination of your account and deletion of associated data in accordance with the data retention schedule. Termination may be immediate and without prior notice in cases of severe violation, imminent security threat, or repeated AUP breaches.

6.2Seismic Swift AI may take immediate action, including account suspension, without prior notice where it reasonably determines that: (a) a violation poses an imminent risk to the security, integrity, or availability of the Service or of other customers' data; (b) criminal activity is suspected; or (c) continued access would constitute a violation of applicable law or regulatory requirement.

6.3You may appeal any enforcement action by submitting a written appeal to legal@seismicswiftai.com within fourteen (14) calendar days of the enforcement action. Your appeal must include: (a) a description of the enforcement action; (b) the grounds for your appeal; and (c) any supporting evidence. Seismic Swift AI will review the appeal and provide a written response within ten (10) business days.

6.4Enforcement actions taken under this AUP do not limit Seismic Swift AI's right to seek any other remedies available at law or in equity, including injunctive relief and damages.
