- Use of the service is strictly limited to personal use (except for Business Plus, Professional Premium & Library Premium subscriptions, see below).
- Access will be available for one user only (except library subscriptions). Simultaneous access from multiple computers can cause suspension of your account.
- We reserve the right to impose a fair usage limit and the right to suspend the service in cases of misuse.
- Providing a look-up service will cause immediate suspension without refund.
- Those proven to be using our service to provide a look-up service to others will be liable to a charge of £5 per distinct name for which they have searched and £10 for each result viewed.
- Professional Premium subscriptions are for professional genealogists offering a service to research a full family history not simply looking up one or more names on request. It may not be used to offer a look-up service and such use will cause immediate suspension of the subscription without refund.
- Only Business Plus accounts can be used by probate research services and other non family history commercial usage.

- Credits have no monetary value - they are a means of ensuring fair access.
