4. IPLocate.io Data

We update our database regularly to ensure that we can provide up-to-date data through our service, however we make no guarantees to the accuracy of the data provided. IP addresses cannot always be accurately geolocated to precise locations. In many cases the data may not be accurate because of incorrect information provided by MaxMind or their service providers.

5. Support

From time-to-time, IPLocate.io Services may be unavailable due to network maintenance or outage - either of IPLocate.io or one of our server or network providers. If maintenance is planned, we will endeavour to give you as much prior notice as is reasonably possible - usually via our dashboard - to let you know that your IPLocate.io Services might be inaccessible. If an outage is unexpected, we'll try to keep you updated via our control panel and/or e-mail, but please note that this isn't always possible.

Because of the inherent nature of internet services, we don't provide any compensation or credits for downtime or unavailability of the IPLocate.io Services - whether expected or unexpected.
