32.2     License to Use trellispark with the Service

For any Services that include the provision of a Great Ideaz managed trellispark deployment, the license to use the trellispark Software is included for the duration of the Term of your subscription within the limitations described at the time that you purchased the subscription. For example, if you purchased a Great Ideaz Managed trellispark Service for up to 1,000 Active Users for a one-year term, then the Service includes a license to use trellispark for up to 1,000 Active Users for your one-year subscription.

32.3     Managed Active Users and Daily Total Users

Depending on the Great Ideaz Managed trellispark Service subscription, there are different pricing options based on the following definitions:

1. “Total Active Users” means the total number of active user records in all your managed trellispark workspaces. The list of active user records within each workspace can be seen from the trellispark User Administration app.
2. “Daily Total Users” means the total of all unique users (login with unique security credentials) and service accounts that have logged in over a 24-hour period.
3. “Flex Rate” means the additional cost per day per user count that is charged if you exceed your subscription limit. The Flex Rate fees are calculated and invoiced monthly. For example, if you subscribed to a Managed trellispark product for up to 50 Active Users with a Flex Rate of $1.00, then if you had 60 Active Users for the entire duration over a 1-month period you will be charged: 10 Active Users x $1 Flex Rate per day x 30 days (approximately) = $300.
