### Billing and Charges

#### What are the charges?

* Regions and Pricing can be referred to as the "Rate Card"
* These are negotiated at the time of signing
* This is the area of expertise of the DNAnexus Sales Account Director. For further details on this, please refer to them.
* This can be useful for everyone else to decide the instances that you choose to run on the platform.
* Here is an image of what a rate card looks like, and what each of the sections mean. The details of the rate card are subject to change
* If you cannot access the rate card or are not an org admin, please see Appendix A of your order form.

### Organizations and Billing

#### Example: Orgs and Billing

* Orgs can be used to consolidate and simplify billing.
* An order can be associated with a billing account. This allows all users of the org to build projects and apps to the org billing account.
* If you have a project bill to an org, this is useful. Say if you have users within a group or users within a particular lab, that are working with a shared budget, where each member needs to have the ability to work independently within their own project.
* By associating a billing account with an org, this allows groups with a shared budget to consolidate all platform activities onto one invoice.
* When a user makes a project billable to an account, a user assigns ownership of the project to this work.
* And org admins in this case admins, A and D. They have the ability to oversee and discover all projects that are billed to the org and revoke permissions to a project build to an org
