Brolly aims to support you through unexpected periods of record spikes, and as such concessions for excessive storage will provided. These concessions will be aligned with the contract term.
If you are contracted for 12 months, Brolly will support 60 days of excessive usage before re-evaluating the appropriate plan / additional data pack.
If you are contracted for 24 months, Brolly will support 90 days of excessive usage before re-evaluating the appropriate plan / additional data pack.
If you are contracted for 36 months, Brolly will support 120 days of excessive usage before re-evaluating the appropriate plan / additional data pack.
