Hello, I received a billing from [team@huggingface.co](mailto:team@huggingface.co) through [bnc3.mailjet.com](http://bnc3.mailjet.com) with the link for payment from two different models that I have trainned. Is the link trustworthy?

It just seems odd for me.  
For instance, why would autonlp trust me and require me to pay only after a model is trainned and available for use? (usually, in other plataforms, you would be able to train only after providing paymet methods)  
Why isn’t the billing on my hugginface/autonlp portal, and only in my email as I commented earlier?

Maybe this is because of the beta phase, but it seems sketchy or just a security fault if HF trusts users that much.  
I am 100% willing to pay for the trainning, I just need to clarify the billing legimacy first, please don’t get me wrong.

Thanks

hi @brandaobrandisborges !

The links are completely trustworthy.  
We know that Hugging Face users are very loyal and in turn, we also trust our users a lot! That’s why we send an invoice only after the models are trained 🤗 (one invoice per project)

P.S.: If you have a pro plan, your CC will be charged automatically 🙂
