  3. PLATFORM:

    1. Registration.

      1. To access the Platform, the Client must register and authorize users (who will become Authorized Users) as provided at https://console.usedotted.com/signup. When registering for an account, the Client and its Authorized Users will be required to provide Dotted with certain registration information, including, but not limited to, the Client's name, email address, account password, and billing information.

      2. The Client declares that the information provided is accurate, complete, and not misleading, and undertakes to keep such information up to date. Each created account cannot be transferred, sold, or assigned to any other person or entity. The Client is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of its user and password, as well as those of its Authorized Users, and accepts responsibility for all activities that occur under its account and that of its Authorized Users. The Client will immediately notify Dotted upon becoming aware, or having reasonable grounds to believe, that its accounts are no longer secure.

      3. The Client shall authorize Dotted's access to the Client's AWS Services as provided in the registration process at https://help.usedotted.com/security-and-access/cross-account-role.

    2. Purchases by Dotted: Dotted is responsible for purchases made on the AWS Platform of Reserved Instances and/or Savings Plans and will remain financially responsible to AWS for such purchases after the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

    3. Purchases by the Client: Dotted is not financially responsible for the purchases of Reserved Instances and/or Savings Plans made by the Client, and such purchases will be the Client's financial responsibility during and after the term of this Agreement. Once in the Platform, we strongly recommend stopping all future purchases of Reserved Instances and/or Savings Plans.

    4. Platform Changes Notice: Dotted may change or discontinue any of the Platform services from time to time. We will provide you with at least sixty (60) days' notice before changing or discontinuing a Platform feature; however, we may provide a shorter notice period if AWS changes its application programming interface, AWS or Dotted's authorized distributor substantially changes its business relationship with Dotted, or if AWS substantially changes its pricing and discount models.

  4. PAYMENT:

    1. Throughout the Term, the Client remains fully responsible for all fees, charges, taxes, and other expenses billed by AWS; however, Dotted, as an AWS Authorized Partner through the AWS Distributor contract, will send invoices to the Client that must be paid promptly for these Invoices. In some cases, invoices may be issued by an authorized AWS Distributor that can be consulted at https://help.usedotted.com/product/payments.

    2. As an AWS Authorized Partner, Dotted is fully paid by AWS, not by the Client. Dotted’s invoices to the Client refer exclusively to the fees, charges, and expenses of the AWS Services billed to the Client's AWS Accounts;

    3. AWS Services consumed by the Client will be billed by Dotted according to AWS's standard pricing list published at the following URL: https://aws.amazon.com/pricing. AWS calculates monthly fees, charges, taxes, and other expenses for the use of the Services.

    4. The amounts indicated in the definition of AWS service prices are gross, free of taxes and/or fees. Therefore, Dotted will apply taxes and charges from the operation, being 13.83% for local services billed in reais by AWS and 40% on marketplace services billed in dollars by AWS.
