Why Contact Limits Exist

We know — seeing a message about limits or billing isn’t exactly exciting.

But here’s the thing: your contact limit exists to make sure every contact you import is fully cared for — geocoded, safely stored, regularly backed up, and easy to recover if anything ever goes wrong.


That’s how we keep your data safe, your maps accurate, and your operations are running smoothly.



​Why you’re seeing this message

Your plan includes a certain number of contacts. When you go over that number:

  • The system automatically extends your contact limit so your operations continue without interruption.

  • This triggers a small billing update to match your new tier — ensuring all services like geocoding, storage, and backups keep working reliably in the background.


How billing works

If you exceed your contact limit, your invoice will show a new line:

Contact Limit Exceeded — it covers the extra contacts you’ve added.
The amount is pro-rated, meaning you only pay for the time left until your next renewal (monthly, yearly, or multi-year).

  • If you’re on a monthly plan
    The adjustment will appear directly on your next monthly invoice, calculated pro rata temporis.

  • If you’re on an annual or multi-year plan
    Exceeding your limit will automatically trigger a new invoice, covering the prorated difference up to your annual contract anniversary date — even if you’re on a multi-year plan.


If you delete contacts later

No worries — the system keeps things fair. If you bring your total back below the limit:

  • Within 24 hours, the system automatically recognizes the change.

  • A credit note is generated, calculated pro rata temporis, and will be applied to your next invoice.

Exceeding your contact limit doesn’t stop your work — it just keeps your services running safely and smoothly. We charge only for real usage, and we credit you back when that usage drops.
