5. Fees for Use of the Service

5.1. Subject to the Terms, the Service is provided to you without charge up to certain limits. Usage over this limit requires your purchase of additional resources or services. The pricing for additional resources and services can be found here (or such URL as MetricFire may provide). At its discretion, MetricFire may allow a user's account to exceed the limits of their plan for a limited period of time. Upon notification that their account is over the plan's metric limits, a user has 7 (seven) days to take actions that bring the account back within the limits of their current plan. If no action is taken, the user will be notified, and their account automatically upgraded. Charges for the new plan will be pro-rated for that month.

5.2. For all purchased resources and services, we will charge your credit card on a monthly basis or at the interval indicated in the Fees and Payment Policies, if different. Late payments may bear interest at the rate of 2% per month. Charges are exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for paying all taxes and government charges, and all reasonable expenses and attorneys fees MetricFire incurs collecting late amounts. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive all claims relating to charges unless claimed within 60 days after the charge (this does not affect your credit card issuer rights). Charges are solely based on MetricFire measurements of your use of the Service, unless otherwise agreed to in writing. To the fullest extent permitted by law, refunds (if any) are at the discretion of MetricFire and only in the form of credit for the Service. Nothing in these Terms obligates MetricFire to extend credit to any party. You acknowledge and agree that any credit card and related billing and payment information that you provide to MetricFire may be shared by MetricFire with companies who work on MetricFire behalf, such as payment processors and/or credit agencies, solely for the purposes of checking credit, effecting payment to MetricFire and servicing your account. MetricFire may also provide information in response to valid legal process, such as subpoenas, search warrants and court orders, or to establish or exercise its legal rights or defend against legal claims. MetricFire shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of such information by such third parties. MetricFire reserves the right to discontinue the provision of the Service to you for any late payments.

5.3. MetricFire may change its fees and payment policies for the Service by notifying you at least fifteen (15) days before the beginning of the billing cycle in which such change will take effect. Changes to the fees or payment policies will be posted in the Service FAQ or the Fees and Payment Policies (or such other URL MetricFire may provide from time to time). Any outstanding balance becomes immediately due and payable upon termination of the Terms for any reason.

5.4. You may not develop multiple Applications to simulate or act as a single Application or otherwise access the Service in a manner intended to avoid incurring fees.

6. Content in the Service and Take Down Obligations

6.1. You understand that all information (such as data files, written text, computer software, music, audio files or other sounds, photographs, videos or other images) to which you may have access as part of, or through your use of, the Service are the sole responsibility of the person from which such content originated. All such information is referred to below as the "Content." The term Content shall specifically exclude the application that you create using the Service and any source code written by you to be used with the Service (collectively, the "Application").

6.2. MetricFire reserves the right (but shall have no obligation) to pre-screen, review, flag, filter, modify, refuse or remove any or all Content from the Service. You agree to immediately take down any Content that violates the Program Policies, including pursuant to a take down request from MetricFire. In the event that you elect not to comply with a request from MetricFire to take down certain Content, MetricFire reserves the right to directly take down such Content or to disable the Application.

6.3. In the event that you become aware of any violation of the Program Policies by an end user of the Application, you shall immediately terminate such end user's account on your Application. MetricFire reserves the right to terminate end user MetricFire accounts or disable the Application in response to a violation or suspected violation of the Program Policies.

6.4. You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that MetricFire has no responsibility to you or to any third party for) the Application or any Content that you create, transmit or display while using the Service and for the consequences of your actions (including any loss or damage which MetricFire may suffer) by doing so.

6.5. You agree that MetricFire has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any Content and other communications maintained or transmitted through use of the Service.
