5 Customer Payment Obligations.
5.1 Throughout the Term, Customer remains fully responsible for all fees, charges, taxes and other expenses billed by AWS, including all purchases of Reserved Instances or Savings Plans purchased by Pump as provided in Section 2, however, Pump as an AWS Authorized Partner through Pump’s AWS Distribution Seller agreement, shall invoice Customer with Pump Invoices, and Customer shall timely pay Pump for the Pump Invoices.
5.2 As an Authorized Partner of AWS, Pump is paid by AWS, not Customer. Pump’s invoices to Customer are solely for the AWS Services fees, charges and expenses charged to the Customer’s AWS Account(s).
5.3 The AWS Services consumed by Customer will be billed by Pump at standard AWS price list published at the following URL: https://aws.amazon.com/pricing. Each month AWS calculates the fees, charges, taxes and other expenses for Customer’s use of the AWS Services; those fees will be net of any savings, discounts, etc. as a result of your using the Platform.
5.4 Taxes. Customer is responsible, as required under applicable law, for paying all taxes and other governmental fees and charges (and any penalties, interest, and other additions thereto) that are imposed on that party upon or with respect to the transactions and payments under this Customer’s AWS Agreement(s) and Agreement. All fees payable by you are exclusive of Indirect Taxes, except where applicable law requires otherwise. AWS and Pump may charge, and Customer shall pay applicable Indirect Taxes that are legally obligated or authorized to collect from Customer. Customer shall provide such information to us as reasonably required to determine whether AWS or Pump are obligated to collect Indirect Taxes from Customer. Pump shall not collect, and Customer will not pay, any Indirect Tax for which Customer furnishes Pump and AWS a properly completed exemption certificate or a direct payment permit certificate for which AWS and Pump can claim an available exemption from such Indirect Tax. All payments made by Customer to Pump under this Agreement will be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding, as required by law. If any such deduction or withholding (including cross-border withholding taxes) is required on any payment, Customer will pay such additional amounts as are necessary so that the net amount received by Pump is equal to the amount then due and payable. AWS will provide Customer with such tax forms as are reasonably requested in order to reduce or eliminate the amount of any withholding or deduction for taxes in respect of payments.
5.5 Customer hereby authorizes Pump to debit Customer’s designated bank account, as specified by it on the Platform, for each Pump Invoice. Pump will debit the Customer for the applicable Pump Invoice on the 2 days after the date of the Pump Invoice.
5.6 If Customer does not authorize debiting its bank account, Customer must pay Pump via ACH transfer or payment via check, either of which must be received by Pump by the seventh (7th) day after the invoice. Any Pump Invoice not received after the seventh (7th) day will be deemed delinquent and charged one and one half a percent (1.5%) of the Pump Invoice amount as a late fee, and such charge will repeat each month thereafter, compounding the prior months interest fees.
5.7 Pump shall pay AWS for Customer’s AWS Services within one day after Customer’s payment to Pump of the Pump Invoice, and such payment has cleared at Pump’s bank.
5.8 In case of non-payment (over 15 days of accrued balance), Pump without further notice may request the suspension of Customer’s AWS account. Pump may also transfer Customer’s account to a third-party collection agency, solely at Pump’s discretion. Please note that a third-party collections agency may impose additional charges. Failure to pay may also result in Pump pursuing Customer legally to recover the value owed, and thus Customer shall be responsible for all legal fees and expenses.
5.9 As provided in your AWS Customer Agreement, AWS may bill you more frequently for fees accrued if AWS or Pump suspects that your account is at risk of non-payment, in which case Pump shall provide Customer with the Pump Invoice with the frequency selected by AWS.
5.10 All amounts payable by you under the AWS Agreement(s) and this Agreement will be paid to Pump without setoff or counterclaim, and without any deduction or withholding. Fees, charges and taxes will be effective when we post updated fees and charges on the Platform, unless we expressly state otherwise in a notice.
5.11 AWS may increase or add new fees, charges, discounts and savings plans, as provided in the AWS Agreement(s).
6 Credits
6.1 In the event the Platform causes Customer to purchase excess Reserve Instances or Savings Plans, which are unused for a full 30 day period, and when such spending causes a net loss when subtracted from customer’s lifetime Pump savings (hereinafter Excess Purchases), Pump shall issue AWS credits equal to the amount of such loss to Customer.
