    Last updated: November 14, 2024

    Welcome to Neon! We’re delighted to have you here. While the following terms may seem like a lot of legal jargon, they play a crucial role in outlining the guidelines and regulations governing the use of Neon’s Products.  It is all very formal but they set out important information and guidelines for Neon’s Products. Please take a moment to read through them.  

    Using Neon’s Products is completely optional. If you’re not comfortable with any of the terms outlined below, you can choose not to register with Neon or access our Products.

    Terms of Service 

    1. Your Agreement with Neon

    1.2 To use Neon Products, you must first agree to the Terms. You can agree to the Terms by registering for an Account on Neon’s Platform. Your registration and access to the Platform or use of any Neon Products will be deemed acceptance of the Terms. If you do not agree to the Terms, do not use or access Neon Products.

    4.2 The Fees for Neon Products will depend on your selected Plan as set forth in the Order.  The Fees will be calculated based on your usage of Neon Products within a certain billing cycle without offset or deduction at the cadence identified in the Order (e.g., monthly or annually). 

    4.3 All Fees, refunds and Taxes due hereunder will be paid in U.S. dollars. Payment obligations are non-cancelable and, except as expressly stated in these Terms, your payments of the Fees are non-refundable.

    4.5 Neon will calculate your usage of Neon Products based on rates and certain consumption units, described here, agreed in the specific Order to determine the Fees during the prior billing period and then invoice you on or about the 1st day of the following billing period. Unless you and Neon agreed in the Order otherwise, all Fees are due on the first day of the month following the billing cycle and will be automatically charged to your card on or about the invoice date. For example, your usage for the month of January will be calculated and invoiced on or about February 1; and your credit card will be charged simultaneously. 

    4.6 You acknowledge and agree that Neon will automatically charge your payment card or other payment instrument on record with Neon in connection with your use of Neon Products in accordance with the billing terms in effect when Fees are due and payable.  

    4.7 You represent and warrant to Neon that all of your payment information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument provided in connection with your Account. You will promptly update your Account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. 

    4.8 If you fail to make any payment when due, and you have not notified Neon in writing to ar@neon.tech within seven (7) days of the payment becoming due and payable that the payment is subject to a good faith dispute, without limiting Neon’s other rights and remedies: (i) Neon may charge interest on the undisputed past due amount at the rate of 1.5% per month, calculated daily and compounded monthly or, if lower, the highest rate permitted under applicable law; (ii) if Neon requests, you shall reimburse Neon for all costs due for storage of your Projects and other Content, and other reasonable costs incurred by Neon in collecting any late payments or interest, including attorneys’ fees, court costs, and collection agency fees; and (iii) if such failure continues for seven (7) days or more, Neon may suspend your Account and your Authorized Users’ access to any portion or all of Neon Products or downgrade you to the Free Tier until such amounts are paid in full. If non-payment is a result of a dispute, Neon may suspend services and access to Neon Products until the dispute is resolved and payment is made, if applicable, upon prior notice to you. 

    4.9 If your Fees remain due for more than sixty (60) days following the applicable payment due date, Neon has the right to deactivate your access to the Neon Platform completely and permanently delete any and all of your Projects and other Content which may be contained in connection with your Account.

You are responsible for maintaining your Account in good standing, including payment of all Fees when due.

    4.10 You may upgrade or downgrade to any other Plan level that Neon offers or cancel your Order at any time during your Subscription Term, provided that a cancellation and downgrade will not be effective until the next billing period and full payment of the Fees due for the previous billing period have been received by Neon.

Neon will provide written notice to you of any changes to the Fees that affect Neon Products purchased by you. Your continued use of such Neon Products after the change becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of the modified Fees and payment terms and agreement to pay the changed amounts.

    4.12 You will pay all applicable Taxes. When Neon has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes, the appropriate amount shall be paid by you directly to Neon. If all or any part of any payment owed to Neon under these Terms is withheld, based upon a claim that such withholding is required pursuant to the tax laws of any country or its political subdivisions and/or any tax treaty between the U.S. and any such country, such payment shall be increased by the amount necessary to result in a net payment to Neon of the amounts otherwise payable under these Terms. You will reimburse Neon any pre-approved and agreed upon costs.
