Ably: Terms (legal) page changed
Summary
Ably now limits its Solution to businesses and requires customers to confirm business use. Terms changes, including referenced addenda and policies, take effect at subscription renewal rather than through continued use after notice. The terms also define “Committed Fees” and replace automatic termination for violations with discretionary suspension or termination under specified sections.
