Billing and credit
Read the confirmed contract and its transaction history.
Two commercial modes
A contract may use PROVIDER_BILLED, where the provider bills the customer, or ARVICA_BILLED, where Arvica bills the customer. This is configured per provider or contract; it is not inferred from a provider name.
Ledger-backed credit
Credit balances are derived from credits and debits in an auditable ledger and remain scoped to the contract. Adjustments and refunds are recorded rather than overwriting history. Current Stripe flows are TEST only and do not take live payments.
Enterprise terms
Enterprise arrangements can include a contract, PO reference, deposit and monthly invoice. Confirm currency, payment terms, taxes and the billing start event. Credit thresholds do not automatically suspend production workloads without configured contractual rules.
