Article 11: Messages, AI Credits, and Exceeding Limits
The Solution’s artificial intelligence features consume Usage Units, Messages, or AI Credits, depending on the mode selected by the Customer. The included quota, the unit price of additional Messages and AI Credits, and the billing terms are specified in the subscribed plan. The Customer may keep the “messages” mode or switch to the “credits” mode; the mode in effect applies to the entire monthly billing period.
By default, use of the artificial intelligence features is suspended when the included Quota is exhausted, until the start of the next monthly period. The Administrator can, from the settings in their account, authorize Overage in either mode. This authorization constitutes a firm order for the additional Consumption Units used at the rate in effect for the Customer’s mode.
In “credits” mode, the Administrator can set a Monthly Budget. When the amount of Overage reaches this Budget, the artificial intelligence features are suspended until the start of the next period. The Budget can be modified at any time; a reduction during the period does not cancel any AI Credits already consumed. “Messages” mode does not include a monthly Budget: in this mode, the Administrator either authorizes or prohibits Overage.
Usage is measured by Outmind using its metering system; its readings are deemed accurate between the parties unless proven otherwise. The Administrator may view the usage for the current period and the amount of the Overage at any time in their account.
Excess usage for a monthly period—whether in Messages or AI Credits—is billed in a single payment at the end of that period and paid according to the terms set forth in the SaaS Terms and Conditions. Any dispute regarding a statement must be submitted to Outmind within thirty days of the invoice’s issuance.
