5.2.Level changes due to volume variations apply to the next invoice after the Cut-Off Date.
5.3.If a period includes activations and deactivations, the snapshot level on the Cut-Off Date shall prevail.

6.1.A Reseller with 1,240 Active Licences on the Cut-Off Date --> Professional level (35% DTO) for that billing period.
6.2.If the following month it drops to 980 Active Licences --> returns to Starter (25% DTO) on the next invoice.
6.3.An increase from 4,990 to 5,010 Active Licences moves the Reseller to Advanced (40% DTO) on the next invoice.

8.Limitations and rounding.

10.Disputes over level/DTO.
10.1.Claims must be submitted in writing within 15 days from receipt of the invoice.
10.2.Processing of a dispute does not suspend payment. If applicable, DeepThink will make the appropriate credit or adjustment on the next invoice.
11.Relationship with the EULA. Nothing herein alters the EULA regime applicable to the End Customer nor DeepThink’s rights to bill directly to ensure service continuity in cases of non-payment or revocation.
