What this means for you

This change is a formatting correction only. The capitalization of 'PAYGO Rates' does not alter the substantive terms governing what happens if you violate Flat Rate CDN fair use guidelines. Vercel may still reduce performance, disable Flat Rate CDN and charge you PAYGO rates, or take other appropriate actions at the start of the next billing cycle, all in accordance with the Documentation.

Key Clauses Affected

CDN fair use enforcement clause

Capitalization of 'PAYGO Rates' standardized; no change to enforcement authority or procedures.
