Interpretive note: The excerpt establishes three independent legal propositions about minimum commitments (non-usage-based, non-cancelable, non-decreasable) in addition to the non-refundability rule. The canonical claim states only the primary proposition — non-refundability — which applies to both minimum commitments and actual usage. The other three propositions are recorded in omitted_material.
Once you pay fees for minimum commitments or actual usage, you cannot recover them.
