Billing
-
The minimum billing period is one day (24 hours).
-
Billing for the device ends on the day the device is de-provisioned.
Terms
-
We do not charge early termination fees to customers on a month-to-month term and we prorate with the minimum billing period being one day (24 hours). Only the number of days that the virtual device was in service during the month will be invoiced.
-
If you are committed to a 12-, 24-, or 36-month term and the device is deprovisioned before the expiration of the term, an early termination fee will be incurred and the remaining contract value will be invoiced.
-
Upon expiration of the term, the device will automatically renew at the original term length. You can opt out of auto-renewal and convert to month-to-month billing for you device.
-
Any Fabric connections on the virtual device (irrespective of device term length) are not part of the term commitment and may be provisioned, deprovisioned, or resized by the customer at any time. The minimum billing period for Fabric connections is one day (24 hours).
