How do monthly vs annual billing terms work under NCE?

Under NCE, you choose a billing term (how long you're committing to the subscription) and a billing frequency (how often you're invoiced), which aren't always the same thing.

The general pattern

• Monthly term: more flexibility to change seat counts or cancel, typically at a higher per-seat price.
• Annual term: usually priced lower per seat in exchange for a 12-month commitment, even if you choose to pay monthly within that term.
• Reducing seats or canceling mid-term is generally restricted once you're past the initial change window.

Choosing the right term is really a tradeoff between flexibility and cost — it's worth thinking through expected headcount changes before committing to annual terms for a large seat count.
