6.1 PAYMENT. Except as provided in Section 6.4 with respect to good faith disputes, Customer agrees to pay all fees charged by LaunchDarkly for Customer’s use of Services in accordance with this Agreement and Service Plan(s) (collectively, “Fees”). (a) Prices for Services are set forth on the Pricing Page and displayed at checkout; (b) overage and usage Fees are calculated on the basis of usage and invoiced monthly in arrears; (c) Fees must be paid in U.S. dollars; and (d) Fees for Services include standard Support at no additional charge. The criteria for calculating usage vary by Service type and feature as specified in the applicable Service Plan.
6.2 FEE CHANGES. LaunchDarkly reserves the right to change the fees that we charge for the Services, at any time in our sole discretion, provided that Customer is given at least thirty (30) days written notice to the email address registered on the account. If Customer does not wish to accept the price change, Customer may cancel the Service as detailed below. .
6.3 RECURRING BILLING. In order to access those Services for which LaunchDarkly requires a fee (“Paid Services”) Customer will be required to provide LaunchDarkly with credit card information (“Payment Method”). By providing a Payment Method, Customer authorizes LaunchDarkly to charge the Payment Method on a monthly, annual, or pay-as-you-go basis, or as otherwise applicable for the fees associated with the Paid Services that Customer uses without further authorization. Any Payment Method that Customer provides to LaunchDarkly must be valid, and kept current by Customer during the Subscription Term. By providing LaunchDarkly with a Payment Method, Customer represents and warrants that Customer is authorized to use such Payment Method. LaunchDarkly will begin billing the Customer-provided Payment Method for the Paid Services on the day that Customer begins using such Paid Services, regardless of whether Customer has fully configured the Paid Services as of that date. For Services subject to usage-based billing, LaunchDarkly may initiate a pre-authorization on the Payment Method for the accrued fees at any point during a billing period. This hold will be removed when the time limit for the hold is up. All Fees shall be charged in US Dollars (USD) and payment obligations are non-refundable. Customer is responsible for ensuring that it has provided LaunchDarkly with the most current billing information. LaunchDarkly uses a third-party payment processor to manage credit card processing linked to your account, and this processor is not permitted to use Customer’s credit card information except in connection with Customer’s authorized purchases. Notice (including email) from LaunchDarkly’s third-party credit card processor declining Customer’s credit card or otherwise relating to Customer’s account will be deemed valid notice from LaunchDarkly.
6.4 TAXES. LaunchDarkly Fees do not include any Taxes, and Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes arising from its purchases hereunder, excluding Taxes based on LaunchDarkly’s net income, employees, or property. “Taxes” as used herein means any direct or indirect local, state, federal or foreign value-added, levies, tariffs, sales, use or withholding taxes. If LaunchDarkly has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible, the appropriate amount of such Taxes shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer, unless Customer provides a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority in advance. The failure to include Taxes on an invoice does not relieve the Customer of its obligation to pay such Taxes as required in the applicable taxing jurisdiction. All amounts payable to LaunchDarkly under this Agreement shall be without set-off and without deduction of any taxes, levies, imposts, charges, withholdings and/or duties of any nature which may be levied or imposed, including without limitation, value added tax, customs duty and withholding tax.
6.5 PAYMENT DISPUTES. If any charged amount not subject to good faith dispute is not received by LaunchDarkly by the due date, then without limiting LaunchDarkly’s rights or remedies, Customer agrees that (a) LaunchDarkly reserves the right to impose interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower; (b) Customer shall reimburse LaunchDarkly for reasonable costs incurred by LaunchDarkly in collecting any late payments or interest, including reasonable attorneys’ fees; or (c) LaunchDarkly may suspend or terminate Customer’s access to the Services until past due amounts are paid in full. Suspension or termination rights will not be exercised by LaunchDarkly if Customer disputes charged amounts in good faith and cooperates fully to resolve the dispute.
