Users can lose access to the Service and their Content at Box's sole discretion across broadly defined conditions, including Box's own decision not to renew.
Interpretive note: The canonical claim names all three enumerated conditions. The primary proposition is the scope and discretion of the suspension/termination right; the three conditions are retained as essential qualifiers rather than omitted material.
The updated terms establish that Box may bill customers automatically for consumption of enterprise-wide service resources (API Calls, AI Units) that exceed entitlements associated with the customer's service level. Previously, the terms only mentioned that 'additional fees will be due' if Platform Use Limits were exceeded, but the new language creates explicit billing procedures, pricing references, and usage control mechanisms. The agreement now authorizes Box to provide usage reports identifying overage, charge customers for excess resource consumption, and implement technical controls including throttling, rate limiting, or temporary service suspension until overage charges are paid. Users can contact Box through its web form or email to dispute usage reports, but the terms reserve all other contractual and statutory remedies to Box.
