This provision establishes that customers bear the full financial obligation for fees incurred regardless of service outcome, and that PlanetScale retains the right to accrue interest charges and suspend access simultaneously, with no fee relief during suspension periods. The authority to modify fees upon reasonable notice without specifying a minimum notice period or opt-out mechanism is an operationally significant condition for budget-sensitive deployments.
Under this clause, customers who dispute or delay payment may face both service suspension and accumulating interest charges at 1.5% per month, with no stated mechanism to pause billing during a dispute. The agreement states that fee modification is permitted upon reasonable notice, without specifying the notice period or whether advance consent is required.
