Pricing and Billing Terms
Effective Date: May 10, 2026 Document Version: May 2026 Legally Binding Original Language: English
These Pricing and Billing Terms are incorporated into and form an integral part of the Master Service Agreement ("MSA") between PaperOffice and Customer. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the MSA.
1. Pricing Structure
1.1 Pricing Model
PaperOffice operates a hybrid pricing model consisting of:
(a) Subscription Fees — recurring fees payable for access to a selected Plan, billed monthly or annually in advance;
(b) Consumption-Based Fees — usage-based fees deducted from the Wallet (Account Balance) based on actual consumption of Services, metered in Credits;
(c) Support Fees — fees for live support, ticket-based support, and consulting services, as set forth in the Support Terms;
(d) Add-On Fees — fees for optional modules, additional capacity, or premium features beyond the included Plan scope.
1.2 Currency and Taxes
All Fees are stated and payable in Euros (EUR), exclusive of any applicable value-added tax (Spanish IVA, German USt., or equivalent VAT in other jurisdictions), customs duties, withholding tax, or similar governmental charges, which shall be added at the rate applicable on the date of invoice. Where Customer is established in a Member State of the European Union and provides a valid VAT identification number that is verifiable through the EU VIES system, Spanish IVA may be reverse-charged in accordance with the EU VAT directive. Customer is responsible for the validity and currency of its VAT identification number.
1.3 Published Price List
The current Subscription Plans, included scope, consumption rates, and Fees are published at https://paperoffice.ai/en/pricing/ or any successor URL (the "Price List"). The Price List, as in effect at the time of Customer's Subscription or Order Form acceptance, governs the Fees applicable to Customer.
1.4 Custom Pricing
Enterprise, Whitelabel, OEM, and Channel Partner customers may receive custom pricing under a separate Order Form, which prevails over the Price List for the matters addressed therein.
2. Credits and Wallet
2.1 Definition of Credits
A "Credit" is the internal unit of consumption used to meter usage of the Services. For standard Wallet accounting, one (1) Credit corresponds to a reference value of zero point zero zero one Euros (€0.001). Plan-specific overage rates, discounts, markups, or published price-list rates may apply as stated in the Pricing and Billing Terms, an Order Form, or the in-platform billing UI.
2.2 Wallet
The "Wallet" (also referred to as the "Account Balance") is the prepaid Euro-denominated balance maintained in Customer's Account from which consumption-based Fees are deducted in real time. The Wallet has the following characteristics:
(a) Denomination. The Wallet balance is denominated in Euros and displayed to the nearest cent.
(b) No Interest. No interest is paid on Wallet balances.
(c) Single Wallet per Account. Each Account has one (1) Wallet, used universally for all consumption-based Services (Workflows, AI processing, MCP usage, API calls, support, and any other consumption metered in Credits).
(d) Real-Time Deduction. Consumption is deducted from the Wallet in real time or near-real time. The displayed balance reflects committed consumption as of the moment of display.
(e) Visibility. Wallet balance, recent transactions, and consumption forecasts are available to the Account Owner via the in-platform Cockpit.
2.3 Loading the Wallet
Customer may load funds into the Wallet through the following channels:
(a) One-Time Top-Up:
- SEPA Instant Bank Transfer (where supported, with credit posted within seconds);
- Standard SEPA Bank Transfer;
- Credit or debit card via Stripe;
- Redemption of a valid PaperOffice voucher or credit code.
(b) Auto-Recharge (recurring):
- Invoice-based (where authorized in writing);
- Stored credit or debit card via Stripe.
The available payment methods may vary by jurisdiction and may be modified by PaperOffice from time to time.
2.4 Auto-Recharge
"Auto-Recharge" is a feature that automatically tops up the Wallet when the balance falls below a Customer-defined threshold. Auto-Recharge operates as follows:
(a) Activation. Customer activates Auto-Recharge in the Account settings and configures: (i) the trigger threshold (the Wallet balance below which Auto-Recharge is initiated); (ii) the top-up amount (the amount to be added when triggered); and (iii) the payment method.
(b) Authorization. By enabling Auto-Recharge, Customer authorizes PaperOffice (or its payment processor) to charge the configured payment method in the configured top-up amount, automatically and without further confirmation, each time the threshold is reached.
(c) Primary and Fallback Methods. Customer may configure a primary payment method (such as invoice) and a fallback method (such as a credit card) to be used if the primary method fails. Where invoice-based Auto-Recharge is authorized, the planned cost calculation includes a buffer (typically 25%) above the projected Plan-based usage to ensure continuity.
(d) Modification and Deactivation. Customer may modify or deactivate Auto-Recharge at any time via the Account settings. Deactivation does not affect any charge already authorized and in process.
(e) No Auto-Recharge Cap. PaperOffice does not impose an upper cap on the cumulative Auto-Recharge amount in a given period. Customer is responsible for setting threshold and top-up amounts that reflect Customer's expected usage. Customer may set internal usage limits in the Account settings to control consumption.
2.5 Suspension on Insufficient Balance
If Customer's Wallet balance is insufficient to cover ongoing consumption and Auto-Recharge is disabled, has failed, or has been declined:
(a) Consumption-Based Services Suspended. PaperOffice may suspend the consumption-based portion of the Services (including AI processing, Workflow execution, MCP usage, API calls beyond the Plan-included quota) until the Wallet is replenished.
(b) Subscription Access Continues. The basic Plan-included access to the Services (including viewing of stored documents) continues, provided that subscription Fees are current.
(c) Notification. Customer will receive in-product and email notifications before and upon suspension. Customer is responsible for maintaining current contact information.
2.6 No Refund of Wallet Balance
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
(a) Non-Refundable. Wallet balances are non-refundable, non-returnable, and non-transferable.
(b) No Cash Equivalence. Wallet balances may only be used to consume Services. Wallet balances are not cash, are not redeemable for cash, and have no monetary value outside the Services.
(c) No Transfer. Wallet balances cannot be transferred between Accounts, sold, gifted, or assigned.
(d) Termination and Expiration. No refund of unused Wallet balance is made upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, except where mandatory law requires otherwise. Where mandatory refund obligations apply, refunds will be limited to the minimum amount required by law.
(e) Customer Acknowledgment. Customer acknowledges that Wallet balances are paid in advance for the prospective consumption of Services, and that the consideration for such payment is the availability of the Services for consumption, not any guarantee of consumption itself.
2.7 Wallet Expiration
Wallet balances expire and are forfeited if the Account remains continuously inactive (no successful authentication, no Service consumption, and no Wallet top-up) for a period of twenty-four (24) months. PaperOffice will provide reasonable advance notice (at least thirty (30) days) to the Account Owner's registered email before forfeiture takes effect. Forfeited Wallet balances are not recoverable.
2.8 Adjustments and Goodwill Credits
PaperOffice may, in its sole discretion and as a goodwill gesture, credit Wallet adjustments or refunds in cases such as: (i) confirmed Service Defects; (ii) erroneous deductions; (iii) Service incidents covered by the SLA; or (iv) other circumstances at PaperOffice's discretion. Goodwill credits are not a waiver of any term and do not establish a course of dealing.
3. Subscription Fees
3.1 Billing Cycles
Subscription Fees are billed in advance on the billing cycle selected by Customer:
(a) Monthly Billing: Charged at the start of each calendar month or the corresponding monthly anniversary of the Subscription start date.
(b) Annual Billing: Charged at the start of each annual term, typically with a discount versus monthly billing as published in the Price List.
3.2 Pro-Ration
Subscription upgrades during a billing cycle are pro-rated and charged immediately. Subscription downgrades take effect at the start of the next billing cycle without pro-rated refund.
3.3 Payment Terms
(a) Payment Method. Customer's selected payment method is charged on the billing date. Available payment methods include credit and debit cards via Stripe, SEPA direct debit (where authorized), and bank transfer (where authorized for Enterprise customers).
(b) Invoice-Based Billing. Where invoice-based billing is authorized in writing (typically for Enterprise Plans), invoices are due and payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, unless otherwise specified in the Order Form.
(c) Late Payment. Late payment is governed by Section 6.4 of the MSA.
3.4 Failed Payments
If a scheduled subscription payment fails:
(a) PaperOffice will retry the charge in accordance with the standard practice of the payment processor (typically up to three (3) attempts over five (5) to seven (7) days);
(b) Customer will receive notification of each failed attempt via email and in-product notification;
(c) If payment cannot be collected after the retry period, the Subscription may be suspended or downgraded;
(d) Customer is responsible for maintaining a valid payment method on file.
4. Consumption-Based Fees
4.1 Metered Operations
The following operations are metered in Credits and deducted from the Wallet:
(a) AI Processing: Document processing through AI-IDP, AI-OCR, classification, extraction, and similar operations.
(b) Workflow Execution: Each step of an executed Workflow, including tool calls within agentic Workflows.
(c) AI Tier Operations: Operations performed using a specific AI Tier are charged at the rate associated with that Tier.

(g) Premium Features: Optional premium features (such as eIDAS-compliant signing, certain integrations, and similar) where so designated.
(h) Support Time: Time-and-materials support, as set forth in the Support Terms.
4.2 Consumption Rate
The number of Credits deducted for each metered operation is published in the Price List or in the in-product Cockpit. Indicative example rates as of the Effective Date (subject to update):

| Basic | 30 Credits (€0.03) |
| Premium | 40 Credits (€0.04) |
| Ultra | 100 Credits (€0.10) |
The above rates are illustrative only. Actual rates are published in the Price List and may vary by feature, model, document size, and other factors.
4.3 Real-Time Deduction
Consumption is deducted from the Wallet upon completion of the operation (or, for long-running operations, in stages as the operation progresses). Failed operations that do not produce usable output are typically not charged, except where Customer's configuration or input directly causes the failure (e.g., invalid Tier selection for a Workflow that exceeds Tier capabilities).
4.4 Consumption Visibility
Customer can view, in the Cockpit:
(a) Current Wallet balance; (b) Current Credit consumption rate and trend; (c) Per-operation transaction log; (d) Consumption breakdown by Service module, Workflow, and AI Tier; (e) Forecast of upcoming consumption based on historical trend.
4.5 No Consumption Cap by Default
By default, there is no upper cap on consumption. Customer is responsible for managing consumption through Wallet thresholds, Plan selection, Workflow design, and the optional usage limits configurable in the Account settings.
5. Add-On Modules and Premium Features

6. Increase Packages (Zusatznutzung)
6.1 Definition
PaperOffice may offer "Increase Packages" allowing Customer to purchase additional Credit allotments at promotional rates (typically 25% or 50% of the Plan baseline). Increase Packages are deducted from the Wallet upon purchase and credit the corresponding Credits to the Account.
6.2 Terms of Increase Packages
(a) Non-Refundable. Increase Package purchases are non-refundable, consistent with Section 2.6.
