1911 By Subscription.

[Sloe Gin]

6.1 To ensure a high quality service for all customers, we enforce a “Fair Usage Policy” for Users with a Subscription whereby we place a cap on use of the Services.  We have set the current use limit at an average of no more than 1000 Credits per month over a rolling three month period.

6.2 We may revise our Fair Usage Policy from time to time and will advise you of any changes made.

6.3 If you exceed the Fair Usage Policy limits, We reserve the right to invoice you retrospectively for all Credits used at the rate of 12 pence per Credit and to suspend or terminate your use of the Services 

This to me is an unfair contract.  A subscription should allow unlimited use.  One reason why I have never subscribed with this outfit.

indeed WALOB applies 


and ...

although I imagine plenty of geneology message board sites will have plenty of people offering to search for others .......... ?

not RC - already emphasised elsewhere by the Copyright people.

i have been a member of FindMyPast back to when it was 1871, and to be fair i have never ever had an email or warning about over usage, occasionally get a message about already being logged in when i know my wife is also using it on her laptop, but have spent MANY hours both of us using it and had no problem,
i just thought i would mention it in case some think of doing hundreds of look ups and d/l 's for people,
pretty sure the VAST majority will never hear a thing

les_looking,

despite my whinge about the cost, I have been eagerly awaiting the chance to subscribe to 1911 as the cost on pay as you go was too high for me to look at everyone I wanted to check out, so I am looking forward to it.

I am a tad disappointed that it didn't just slip into the existing subscription, but then that would be expecting too much

yep would have been a real bonus if they had included it in their subscriptions,
MAYBE they would have cornered a bigger share of the market if they had ?
but sadly none of them seem to give anything for nothing, i am pretty sure Ancestry moving the goal posts when they stopped access to the lower subscriptions to some of the records, was in anticipation of the LMA and other records
they have introduced,
FindMyPast have been lucky to find a product they can raise prices for in these hard times

It might be a while, even quite a while but sometime in the future Ancestry will have the 1911 census and I am more than happy to wait and see what they do with it with regards to cost. It is more likely that they will put it within their current subscriptions and not make you pay extra although the subs themselves might rise a little. Having given it some though I refuse to pay those prices especially with a cap on them.

I have just seen, on another geneology website, that due to high cost of credits for 1911 they are increasing the number of credits available for subscription holders, but have not announced what it will be yet.

Evidently, for a stand-alone 1911 subscription they have not decided what the ceiling for credits will be.

Interesting but what will these means to us holders of such credits. I think I have something like 86 left to use before some time next year.
