4.1    You will pay Pulumi the then applicable fees described in the Order Form for the Pulumi Services and Implementation Services in accordance with the terms therein (the “Fees”). If your use of the Services exceeds the Service Capacity set forth on the Order Form or otherwise requires the payment of additional fees (per the terms of this Agreement), you will be billed for such usage and you agree to pay the additional fees in the manner provided herein. Pulumi reserves 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 then current renewal term, upon thirty (30) days prior notice to you (which may be sent by email). If you believe that Pulumi has billed you incorrectly, you must contact Pulumi no later than 60 days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to Pulumi’s customer support department.

4.2    Pulumi may choose to bill through an invoice, in which case, full payment for invoices issued in any given month must be received by Pulumi thirty (30) days after the mailing date of the invoice. Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection and may result in immediate termination of your account.
