be renewed and valid from 1 Jul 2024 – 30 Jun 2025). Current users’ platform charges would be automatically deducted the amount of free quota (HKD 5,000) when the charges are over HKD 5,000 and receive an invoice for the settlement of outstanding charges. For new users, they will enjoy the free quota and be charged when the amount exceeds HKD 5,000. Each current and new user’s free quota would be renewed when the next financial year starts from so on. As such, users don't need to inform us when and how the free quota be used to settle the payment since the final amount to be charged would automatically deducted the free quota assigned to users accordingly.</span></p> <p style="margin: 5.65pt 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 1em;">UBDA would like to remind users that students/project-staff/guests do not have HKD 5,000 waived amount because they are not academic staff, and they are using their PI yearly waived amount together.
