The 30-day notice period for fee increases on existing services, combined with the mandatory arbitration clause, means customers who disagree with fee changes have limited procedural recourse and must accept or terminate services. The 1.5% monthly interest rate on late payments represents an annualized rate of approximately 18%, subject to applicable legal rate caps.
Under Section 3.1, the agreement authorizes AWS to increase fees for existing services with 30 days' advance notice and to charge 1.5% monthly interest on late payments. Payments must be made without setoff or counterclaim, and AWS may accelerate billing cycles if fraud or non-payment risk is reasonably suspected.
