Discounts are applied automatically to both the device and any subscription license (on device types where subscription licensing is offered and applicable).

Billing

• The minimum billing period is one day (24 hours).
• Billing for the device ends on the day the device is de-provisioned.

Terms

• Early termination fees are not charged for customers on a month-to-month term. Charges are prorated, with a minimum billing period of one day (24 hours). Only the days that the virtual device was in service during the month are 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 is incurred and the remaining contract value is invoiced.

• Upon expiration of the term, the device automatically renews at the original term length.

• 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).

• To opt out of auto-renewal to the original term length, uncheck Auto-renew term length. At the end of the term, the Network Edge device renews to a month-to-month term.

  

• Customers can transition from a lower term to a higher term any time during the life cycle of the device by editing the term length and choosing a higher term from the dropdown option. The new term length is effective immediately or at the end of the current term if the Start new term after the current term is over option is selected.

  

• Customers can choose to lower the term length from their existing term by selecting a lower term from the dropdown option. The new lower term becomes effective only at the end of the current term.

  

• All Fabric connections have independent term lengths irrespective of the device term length.
