ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Without a written fee lock in an addendum or Order Form, customers have no protection against fee increases at any time during the relationship.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Customers are subject to fee changes at any time unless they have secured an express written agreement in an addendum or Order Form fixing those Fees.

How other platforms handle this

Mistral AI Medium

If the Transitional Period exceeds the term defined in the Agreement, the Parties will agree to extend the term of the Agreement, solely for the purposes of an orderly Switch. Such extension will be subject to the payment of the applicable Fees for continued access to the Mistral AI Products.

Upwork Medium

The Payroll Service Fees are 23% of the Bill Rate.

Whatnot Medium

In certain jurisdictions Whatnot may be required to remit certain sales Taxes with respect to your sales in that jurisdiction to the applicable governmental agency on its own return.
