Customer will be invoiced monthly in arrears for such continued usage after full consumption of the Flexible Spend Commit (or equivalent), and Customer agrees to pay such amounts in accordance with Section 6 of this Master Services Agreement. Grafana Labs may change its pricing for consumption-based products at any time, in its sole discretion. Without limiting anything in this Agreement, for purposes of clarity, the Flexible Spend Commit (or equivalent) expires at the end of the applicable Subscription Term, and unused portions thereof are non-assignable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and do not carry-over to subsequent Subscription Terms.

The Grafana Product(s) are provided to the U.S. Government as “commercial items,” “commercial computer software,” “commercial computer software documentation,” and “technical data”, and are subject to this Agreement, with the same rights and restrictions generally applicable to the Grafana Product(s). If Customer or any User is using Grafana Product(s) on behalf of the U.S. Government and these terms fail to meet the U.S. Government’s needs or are inconsistent in any respect with federal law, Customer and such Users must immediately discontinue use of the Grafana Product(s). If greater rights are needed, a mutually acceptable written addendum specifically conveying such rights must supplement this Agreement.
