Team (User/Usage), Business (User/Usage), Enterprise (User/Usage)

A "Read" means the delivery of data by the Quickbase Service (i) programmatically to an external system in response to an API call or an automated process created using features of the Quickbase Service and (ii) directly to a User in response to such User's request(s) using the "everyone on the internet" feature. For clarity, creating records and reports, adding and editing data, building applications, changing settings, and adding Users is not considered a Read.

Fair Usage Policy – AI Features 

1. Purpose 

This Fair Usage Policy (“Policy”) governs customer access to and use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) features integrated into the Product. 

The purpose of this Policy is to: 

  • Ensure equitable access to AI capabilities across customers 
  • Maintain system reliability and performance 
  • Prevent excessive or abusive usage 
  • Align usage levels with customers of comparable size and subscription tier 

This Policy supplements the Master Subscription Agreement and applicable Order Forms. 

 
2. Scope 

This Policy applies to all AI-powered features made available within the Product, including but not limited to: 

  • Generative AI tools 
  • AI-driven automation 
  • Predictive analytics 
  • Natural language processing capabilities 
  • Any features relying on large language models or other machine learning systems 
 
3. Usage Allocation and Limits 

AI usage is monitored based on traffic of similar sized customers. Quickbase may stop usage entirely, or reduce the rate that Customer may make system calls if there is an unexpected spike in Customer’s use of the AI features compared to customers of a similar size, if excessive errors are generated, or other indicators of stability.  

Usage may be measured by one or more of the following metrics, some may be internal to Quickbase and not visible to customers: 

  • AI requests or prompts 
  • Compute time 
  • Tokens processed 
  • API calls 
  • Feature executions 
  • Output volume 
  • Processing time 

The Company reserves the right to determine the appropriate measurement methodology. 

 
4. Fair Use Standard 

Customers may use AI features up to the usage allocation associated with their segment. 

Use is considered unfair or excessive if it: 

  • Materially exceeds typical usage patterns of similarly situated customers 
  • Disrupts system performance or stability 
  • Creates disproportionate infrastructure or third-party model costs 
  • Attempts to circumvent usage controls or rate limits 
  • Uses the Product primarily as a general-purpose AI processing service outside its intended functionality 

The Company will assess usage relative to customers of comparable size and subscription level. 

 
5. Monitoring and Transparency 

The Company may monitor AI usage to: 

  • Ensure compliance with this Policy 
  • Protect system performance and security 
  • Manage infrastructure capacity 
  • Forecast capacity needs 

Where feasible, customers will be provided with visibility into their AI usage levels through administrative dashboards or reporting tools. 

 
6. Overage and Scaling 

If a customer consistently exceeds their allocated usage: 

The Company may notify the customer. 

  • The parties may discuss appropriate adjustments, including: 
  • Upgrading to a higher subscription tier 
  • Purchasing additional AI capacity 
  • Moving to a usage-based pricing model 
  • Temporary overages may be permitted at the Company’s discretion. 

The Company is not obligated to provide unlimited AI access absent an agreed commercial arrangement. 

 
7. Rate Limiting and Protective Controls 

To preserve system integrity, the Company may implement: 

  • Rate limits 
  • Throttling mechanisms 
  • Hard usage caps 
  • Queueing systems 
  • Temporary suspensions of AI features in extreme cases 

Such controls will be applied in a commercially reasonable and non-discriminatory manner across similarly situated customers. 

 

8. Policy Updates 

The Company may update this Policy to reflect: 

  • Changes in infrastructure costs 
  • Changes in third-party AI provider terms 
  • Evolving product capabilities 
  • Industry standards 

Material changes will be communicated in accordance with the Master Subscription Agreement. 

 

9. No Guaranteed Output or Capacity 

AI features are provided on an as-available basis. 
The Company does not guarantee: 

  • Unlimited processing capacity 
  • Real-time responses at all volumes 
  • Specific output quality or accuracy 

AI functionality may be modified, suspended, or discontinued as needed to maintain system stability or comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

Unless otherwise indicated below, Enablement Services will renew as part of your subscription. If you purchase enablement services in the middle of your Subscription Term, the number of consulting hours you are entitled to in the current Subscription term will be prorated based on how many months remain in your current Subscription Term, or if you are in a multi-year agreement, in the current Year of your Subscription Term. Any unused services, including unused consulting hours, expire at the end of the current Subscription Term or Year (as applicable) and do not roll over to any subsequent Subscription Terms or Years.

The parties acknowledge that service packages require engagement by Customer, including provision of timely feedback and other information reasonably requested by Quickbase. Consulting hours are accrued in 30-minute increments and may include time spent by Quickbase acquiring and transferring knowledge internally. If Customer cancels a scheduled meeting with less than 24 hours written notice to Quickbase, we will bill Customer for that meeting. Quickbase will, at a minimum, bill Customer for the meeting time allotted even if the meeting does not last the entire allotted time. Quickbase will also bill, in 30-minute increments, any meeting time that exceeds the allotted time. Quickbase makes no representations or warranties about any results that may be obtained as a result of any service packages.


Customer is required to provide a 30 day lead time for significant project requests that are not agreed to within the initial success plan. In a twelve month Subscription Term, Customer understands it may not be able to leverage more than 1/12 of the consulting hours included in your enablement service purchase during each month; for customers who purchase Enablement Services with prorated consulting hours, each month you are entitled to use a portion of those consulting hours that is equal to the total number of hours included in your purchase divided by the number of months remaining in your Subscription Term at the time of purchase.
