Exhibit A
Credits
Credits Eligibility. Any unused AWS Reserved Instance capacity (“AWS Reserved Instance”) or unused AWS Savings Plan (“AWS Savings Plan”) that is not purchased directly from MilkStraw AI Inc. is not eligible and will not be considered for purposes of the Credits. Each AWS Reserved Instance and AWS Savings Plan must: (i) be unused, purchased from MilkStraw AI Inc., and with respect to AWS Reserved Instances, not be in the GovCloud region; (ii) have a remaining term of at least one (1) month; (iii) have been active for at least thirty (30) days; and (iv) be fully paid up with no outstanding balances due and payable to Amazon.
Maximum Credits. Customer shall only be entitled to Credits in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of fees paid by Customer to MilkStraw AI Inc. under the Agreement during the applicable month (“Monthly Credits Cap”). For the avoidance of doubt, Credits in excess of the Monthly Credits Cap shall not carry over to any subsequent months. Credits (i) are assessed on a monthly basis; and (ii) may either be redeemed, converted or exchanged for monetary amounts or be applied to any fees due by the Customer in a subsequent invoice issued by MilkStraw AI Inc.. THE PARTIES HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT CREDITS ARE CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND MilkStraw AI Inc.’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY UNUSED AWS RESERVED INSTANCES AND/OR AWS SAVINGS PLANS.
Cost Explorer. When MilkStraw AI Inc. calculates Customer’s savings, if the AWS Reserved Instance coverage exceeds Customer’s usage, MilkStraw AI Inc. assumes that the cost is subsidized equally across all eligible AWS Reserved Instances. If Customer requests an exact savings metric, MilkStraw AI Inc. will use the AWS Cost Explorer API at a cost of $0.01 per call, which shall be charged to Customer directly by AWS. When collecting Customer’s usage and coverage data, MilkStraw AI Inc. will conduct up to fifteen (15) attempts to obtain the data; provided, however, if all fifteen (15) attempts fail, MilkStraw AI Inc. will use the AWS Cost Explorer API at a cost of $0.01 per call, and if the Cost Explorer calls fail, MilkStraw AI Inc. will interpolate the missing data using existing data points.
Disclaimer.
