- In addition to any other rights and remedies available to Licensor if Licensee materially exceeds the Committed OLU Quantity or any other usage limitation set forth in an Order and fails to pay the associated Usage Based Fees in accordance with this Agreement Licensor may suspend or throttle Licensee's access to the Licensed Software and or the Licensor Cloud Platform/Services upon written notice provided that Licensor shall provide no less than five days prior written notice before suspending or throttling access for non-payment of Usage Based Fees unless such delay would result in a security risk or material degradation of the Licensor Cloud Platform/Services.
- Licensee is solely responsible for all OLU usage generated through Licensee's systems, applications, scripts, integrations, agents or Customer activity whether intended or unintended and whether authorized or unauthorized except to the extent such usage is caused directly by a demonstrable error in the Licensed Software or the Licensor Cloud Platform/Services. All such usage counts toward Licensee's OLU totals for billing and audit purposes.
