Please give me details of what exactly you used and how you used it. Also if it is countable how much of what have you used. Your use, depending on the subject matter and design of the website may be exempted from any action.

Greetings,

If you could have elaborated on your situation it would have helped. Nonetheless, what I could gather is that you were a free subscriber/user of a website. However, during your regular usage of its services, you landed on a page which led you to their premium services meant only for the paid subscribers.

Now, did you actually use the services only once? Or, was it that you continued to use their premium services over the time despite knowing that you were violating the terms of use.

After evaluation of the quantum of financial loss, you may have caused, one could determine the damages you may have to owe up.

You may contact for further details.


Warm regards,
