What it is

When Customer's Page Views, Sessions, or Responses exceed the Order Form limits in any 12-month period, Contentsquare may invoice overage fees annually in arrears at Contentsquare's then-applicable rate or the Order Form overage rate. Customer is obligated to pay such invoices under the standard payment terms.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision authorizes Contentsquare to charge overage fees at its then-applicable rate when usage thresholds are exceeded, invoiced annually in arrears. Customers may accumulate significant overage liability over a 12-month period before receiving an invoice, with no stated notification obligation on Contentsquare's part when thresholds are approached.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The agreement authorizes Contentsquare to invoice additional fees when Page View, Session, or Response limits are exceeded, billed annually in arrears at Contentsquare's then-applicable rate unless an Order Form specifies a fixed overage rate. Customers are responsible for monitoring their own usage against contracted limits.

Excerpt from Heap's Terms of Service

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (regulatory & governance intelligence)

1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Overage billing provisions in B2B SaaS contracts are governed by the contract terms and applicable commercial law in the relevant jurisdiction. No specific regulatory framework directly governs this provision, though general consumer protection and unfair contract terms frameworks may apply in certain jurisdictions. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The use of Contentsquare's then-applicable rate (rather than a fixed Order Form rate) for overage fees introduces pricing uncertainty unless the Order Form specifies a fixed overage rate. Customers with high-traffic sites or apps may face material unbudgeted costs if usage growth exceeds contracted volumes without proactive monitoring. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU customers should confirm whether the applicable Local Addendum modifies overage billing terms. The document does not specify whether overage fees are subject to the annual CPI/3% increase cap that applies to base fees at renewal. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams should negotiate fixed overage rates in the Order Form rather than accepting reference to Contentsquare's then-applicable rate, and should request that Contentsquare provide notification when usage approaches defined thresholds. Finance teams should model overage scenarios based on projected site traffic growth over the contract term. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Internal monitoring systems should track Page View, Session, and Response consumption against Order Form limits on an ongoing basis. Budget owners should be informed that overage fees are billed annually in arrears, meaning that a full year of overage may be invoiced at once. Teams should confirm whether the Order Form contains a specified overage rate to provide billing predictability.
