If access to the Service is provided to you for free or for Trial purposes, such access is governed by these Terms of Service. At any time prior to or during the free or Trial period, we may, in our sole discretion, terminate the free or Trial access without prior notice and without any liability to you, to the extent permitted under applicable law, for any reason, including to prevent abuse of the free or Trial access. After the free or Trial access period expires, you may only continue using the Service by enrolling in a paid Subscription, if available, or as we otherwise permit.
