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.
