ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause defines the operational boundaries for Service access and establishes baseline security and integrity requirements for the platform infrastructure. The provision allocates discretion to Postman to determine what constitutes an unreasonable infrastructure load and reserves enforcement authority over these categories.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users operating under these terms are contractually bound to refrain from the specified activities and may face account suspension, termination, or other remedial action if Postman determines a violation has occurred. The terms authorize Postman to unilaterally assess whether an activity imposes unreasonable infrastructure load without predefined thresholds.
