During a free trial of a Service, any data entered into the Service and any customizations made to the Service by or for Customer will be permanently lost unless Customer purchases a subscription to the same Service covered by the trial, upgrades to applicable Services, or exports such data. Customer is solely responsible for exporting Customer data from Free Services before termination of access for any reason. Customer cannot transfer data or customizations made during the free trial to a Service that would be a downgrade from that covered by the trial; therefore, if Customer purchases a Service that would be a downgrade, Customer must export Customer data before the end of the trial period or the data will be irrecoverably lost.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT TO CUSTOMER THAT: (a) CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE FREE SERVICES WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS, (b) CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE FREE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR FREE FROM ERROR, OR (c) DATA OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE COMPANY WILL BE ACCURATE. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THE “LIMITATION OF LIABILITY” SECTION BELOW, THE CUSTOMER SHALL BE FULLY LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO THE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE SERVICES DURING THE FREE TRIAL PERIOD, ANY BREACH BY CUSTOMER OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND ANY OF CUSTOMER’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.
You acknowledge and agree that any termination of access to the Free Services may result in the loss of features or capacity of the Free Services. Company may modify or discontinue the provision of Free Services (or any part thereof) at any time without notice, and that Company shall not be liable to You or any third party for such modification or discontinuation. Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to provide You with an opportunity to retrieve data from the Free Services following any termination of the Free Services.
