2. MODIFICATIONS

2.1. DoubleCloud may unilaterally modify the terms of this Agreement, including pricing and any attached or Linked Documents, from time to time, in the manner stipulated herein.

2.2. DoubleCloud will notify Customer at least 30 days prior to any modifications to this Agreement, including pricing and any attached or Linked Documents, becoming effective, except where the changes apply to new technical functionalities of the Services or new Services which DoubleCloud is generally always entitled to introduce and which shall become effective immediately upon posting on the Site, without prior notification.

If Customer does not agree with any modifications to this Agreement and/or Linked Documents, Customer may terminate this Agreement by sending a written notice of termination via email to DoubleCloud's e-mail address indicated on the Site or Management Console within 30 days from the effective date of DoubleCloud's notice. After the expiry of 30 days without such termination notice, such absence of termination notice will be deemed acceptance of the modified terms by Customer.

3. TRIAL PERIOD

3.1. DoubleCloud may, on a case-by-case basis, decide to provide Customer with a Trial Period to test the Services free of charge. Such Trial Period will be limited by the duration and extent of the usage rights granted by DoubleCloud.

3.2. DoubleCloud may keep records of Customer's use of Services to determine when the Trial Period ends (when the granted usage rights expire).

3.3. If Customer continues to access and use the Services after expiry of the Trial Period, this will be deemed Customer's acceptance of the paid version of the Services in accordance with the terms hereof. Customer may switch to the paid version of the Services before the Trial Period ends by adjusting the respective settings in the Management Console. In this case, any Credit that is unused during the Trial Period shall be retained and the fees for Services in the paid version shall be reduced for Customer accordingly. In any case, a Credit provided during the Trial Period is limited to the duration of the Trial Period set for Customer and is forfeited thereafter.

3.4.
