I live in the Netherlands too, but I’m certain this was an online service from the US. It’s definitely a minority of them but it happens nonetheless

that service will keep working until the next billing day

I have used it in the past for a few years. I don’t think you should. Why?

• The Manjaro devs are idiots. They have broken the AUR on multiple occasions.
• Their packages break more often than upstream Arch since you get update bundles which they release. This isn’t tested as well as it should and may lead to things breaking.
