Connectivity fees are assessed in any month the Member or non-Member is credentialed to use any LTSE APIs in the Primary, Disaster Recovery, or Test Environment, and fees are determined based on active connectivity products at the close of business on the first day of each month. If a product is canceled before that assessment point, the participant will not owe the fee.
