Users purchasing paid services are responsible for all applicable taxes in addition to listed fees, and pricing for ongoing services may change at Hugging Face's sole discretion, with no contractual cap or advance notice period specified in this clause.
Interpretive note: The document was truncated before the full pricing adjustment and refund policy language was visible; the full scope of pricing change procedures and notice requirements is therefore uncertain.
Paid plan subscribers are responsible for all taxes on top of listed fees, and Hugging Face reserves the right to change pricing at any time; enterprise customers should confirm whether signed Order Forms establish fixed pricing that supersedes this clause.

"All fees are exclusive of any applicable taxes, which You are solely responsible to pay. We reserve the right to adjust our pricing from time to time and at our sole discretion.— Excerpt from Hugging Face's Hugging Face Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The tax exclusion clause interacts with sales tax, VAT, and GST obligations across jurisdictions; in the EU, platform pricing to consumers is generally required to display VAT-inclusive prices under the Price Indication Directive, meaning the tax-exclusive pricing assertion may require evaluation under applicable regional law. The FTC Act's prohibition on deceptive practices may be relevant where pricing advertised to consumers does not include mandatory tax amounts. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The unilateral pricing adjustment right creates financial planning uncertainty for enterprise customers on recurring subscription plans. The tax-exclusion clause places full tax compliance burden on the customer, which may create operational complexity for international customers. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users face heightened exposure regarding VAT-inclusive pricing disclosure requirements. U.S. users in states with software-as-a-service sales tax obligations should assess their tax compliance requirements. Canadian and Australian GST/HST obligations are also relevant for users in those jurisdictions. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise procurement teams should negotiate fixed pricing terms in Order Forms or MSAs that explicitly supersede the unilateral pricing adjustment right. Tax indemnification and allocation provisions should be addressed in signed agreements for cross-border transactions. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Finance and tax teams at organizations using paid Hugging Face services should assess applicable indirect tax obligations (VAT, GST, sales tax) for their jurisdiction. Procurement teams should confirm whether signed Order Forms fix pricing for the contract term.
