Payment of Fees

You will have to pay a subscription based on the pricing of your selected plan. Pricing details and other pricing terms will be outlined when selecting your plan. Subscribers are responsible for payments, not Users. You may act as a User and Subscriber at the same time, but these roles are distinguished.

  1. Applicable fees that you will need to pay are set out in the order form. If you exceed the agreed usage, additional fees will apply.
  2. We reserve the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and Fees at the end of the Initial Service Term or the current renewal term, upon thirty (30) days prior notice to the Customer (which may be sent by email).

Term and Termination
