What happens if I can't pay AWS bill? Will there be any legal charges against me?*

Yes, of course. As there should be.

  • At the minimum, you should expect to face a breach of contract lawsuit.
  • In all likelihood, you should also expect to be chased by debt collection / recovery agencies.
  • In the worst case scenario, you may be hauled up in front of a bankruptcy court.

I’ve noticed that American and German companies have a very long reach. They somehow manage to get to their debtors, even those that have decamped from their original address / cities / countries.
