All Beta Features are provided "AS IS,'' without warranty or representation of any kind. Notwithstanding section 19 Liability, Platform.sh’s liability for any damage arising out of or in connection with any Beta Feature is excluded in its entirety, including any obligation or liability with respect to Customer Content, except to the extent liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

8.1. Platform.sh reserves the right to modify, add, or remove portions and/or functionality of the Services on a temporary or permanent basis, without liability to Customer. Except where an urgent change is required for security reasons, Platform.sh will notify Customer ahead of any material change by displaying a prominent notice within the Platform and/or by sending Customer an email. Except for changes that are implemented by Platfom.sh for legal, regulatory or security reasons, if and to the extent a change introduced by Platform.sh has a material adverse effect on Customer’s use of the Services, Customer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, terminate any active subscription and obtain a pro-rata refund of any prepaid and unused Fees. Customer’s failure to exercise its right to terminate and request a pro-rata refund within thirty (30) days from the day the change is released by Platform.sh will be deemed to be Customer’s acceptance of the revised Services.

9.1. Customer must comply, and shall ensure that its Users comply, with the Acceptable Use Policy, applicable laws and this Agreement.

9.2. Customer will ensure that its Users’ login details are kept confidential, are individual, and are not shared between several individuals.

9.4. Customer is solely responsible for the use and submission of Content. Customer must make sure such Content is validly licensed to Customer for the intended use and Customer is solely liable for complying with any third party intellectual property rights or licenses over any software or programs included in its Content.  If Customer’s Projects developed or hosted on the Platform allow for third parties (including but not limited to end users of the Customer’s applications) to publish, transmit, or host Content, Customer is solely responsible for any Content which breaches this Agreement or applicable law. 

9.5. Customer agrees to immediately remove any Content that breaches this Agreement upon first request of Platform.sh or upon becoming aware of any such breach. 

10. Customer Affiliates

10.1. Customer may enter into this Agreement on behalf of itself and Affiliates and may  enable Affiliates to use the Services under Customer’s Account. Customer will remain liable for all obligations under our Agreement and any act or omission of any Affiliates will be deemed to be an act or omission of Customer.

11.1. Customer will pay Platform.sh the Fees as set out at https://upsun.com/pricing 

11.2. Bills are issued monthly by Platform.sh at the Organization level and are sent by email to the billing contact registered in the Customer Account. 

11.3. The Fees must be paid by credit or debit card, or by direct debit. By providing payment card information or authorising  direct-debit, Customer authorizes Platform.sh to charge Customer’s payment card or debit Customer’s account automatically. Customer further authorizes Platform.sh to use a third party to process payments, and consents to the disclosure of Customer’s payment information to such third party. Customer must make sure its payment information is accurate and up to date at all times and maintain sufficient availability under its credit card limit or sufficient funds in the account linked to its payment card or direct debit authorisation. 

11.4. Platform.sh is not responsible for any (i) payment failure resulting from inaccurate or expired payment card details provided by Customer, (ii) restrictions applicable to the Customer’s payment card by Customer’s bank, or (iii) misuse, abuse, unauthorized use, or fraudulent use of Customer’s payment cards. 

11.5. If Customer wishes to dispute a payment, it must provide written notice of the dispute to Platform.sh promptly, and in any event no later than fifteen (15) days from the payment date. Initiating a chargeback or requesting a reversal through a bank or credit card provider does not relieve Customer of its obligation to notify Platform.sh directly. Customer and Platform.sh shall work together in good faith and without undue delay to resolve the dispute. 

12. Delinquent payments and payment disputes

12.1. Late payment interests applicable when Platform.sh Inc, Platform.sh Canada Sub. Ltd, or Platform.sh Pty Ltd is the Platform.sh Contracting Entity:  any amount payable under this Agreement that is not paid when due will accrue interest at one point five percent (1.5 %) per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is more, from the due date until paid.

12.2. Late payment interests applicable when  Platform.sh SAS, or Platform.sh Ltd,  is the Platform.sh Contracting Entity : any amount payable under this Agreement that is not paid when due will accrue interest at the interest rate applied by the European Central Bank to its main refinancing operation plus 10%, from the due date until paid, and (ii) a minimum fixed sum of EUR/GBP 40 by way of compensation for recovery costs to Platform.sh for every invoice paid late. 

12.3. In the event Platform.sh brings a legal action for collection or hires an agent or authorized representative of collections due to overdue amounts, Customer will reimburse Platform.sh for all costs and expenses related to such collection, including but not limited to Platform.sh attorneys’ fees, court costs, and any other related collection enforcement fees.

13. Taxes

13.1. All Fees are exclusive of tax. Customer must pay all taxes and duties assessed in connection with this Agreement, including any sales, use, value-added, withholding, and other taxes and duties.  In the event tax is required by law to be withheld from the Fees, Platform.sh may gross up the invoice such that after the deduction of withholding tax, the original Fees are received in full by Platform.sh. In the event that any withholding taxes are paid by Customer, Customer shall provide Plaform.sh with a valid withholding tax receipt in Plaform.sh’s name and all information reasonably required by Platform.sh within thirty (30) days following the payment. 

14. Changes to prices

14.1 Platform.sh may change the Fees at any time. Platform.sh must notify Customer of the change not less than thirty (30) days prior to the change taking effect.

Nonetheless, if Customer qualifies as a consumer under applicable law, and applicable law provides consumers with consumer-specific, statutory and non-waivable rights, then any such statutory provision will prevail over any conflicting terms of this Agreement.
