Dear native English speakers!
I'm not sure it's a good idea to use this term here. Would "rated" be more suitable, probably?
Please advise!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Also, instead of "does include" it should just say "includes".

: Yes, although it starts getting a bit unwieldy, and I think 'charged' is just fine — especially as this appears to be a document for the service provider, rather than aimed at the customer.

: This is the natural way to do it, and far from being unwieldly it's two words shorter and much neater.

You can't use 'rated', as that would have a different meaning: to give a rating to (i.e. a score or grade)
As our other answerer has suggested, you'd have to say 'a different rate should be applied' — but that's getting a bit more unwieldy!
Discussion
The common "theme" of 'rate' is measurement.
On your first point, I think you are right, but may have misunderstood Andrew's intention: I believe he was trying to say simply "I'm sure you are aware that..." — a way of not being partonizing, but with the use of 'must' it has come out all wrong ;-)
