GeoIP Web Service restrictions

1. Use of Anonymizing Data. You may only use anonymizing data from the GeoIP Web Service for the purpose of detecting security incidents or protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activity.
2. Sublicensing. To the extent you sublicense the GeoIP Web Service to a third party as permitted by this Agreement, you will impose upon the third party the same or substantially similar contractual duties imposed on you and the rights provided to MaxMind as in this Agreement. You are responsible for the acts or omissions of any third parties to whom you have sublicensed the GeoIP Web Service, and/or to whom you have shared any data from the GeoIP Web Service.
3. No Use of GeoIP Web Service for Identifying Specific Households, Individuals or Street Addresses. Due to the nature of geolocation technology and other factors beyond its control, MaxMind cannot and does not guarantee the accuracy of the GeoIP Web Service. The GeoIP Web Service contains only the geographic data available and the availability of such data is not consistent for all regions. The GeoIP Web Service does not identify any geographic level or division more precisely than the zip code or postal code associated with an IP address. Accordingly, it is imperative that MaxMind's customers not rely on the GeoIP Web Service to identify a specific household, individual, or street address. You acknowledge the foregoing limitation of the GeoIP Web Service, and you will not use or permit others to use data from the GeoIP Web Service for the purpose of identifying or locating a specific household, individual, or street address.
