Additionally, we may revoke your license or restrict your access to our Platform if we believe that your actions may harm us, our business interests, or any of our users. Failure by us to revoke your license or restrict access does not act as a waiver of your conduct or a waiver of our right to revoke at a subsequent point in time for any of your prior or new actions constituting breach.

3. Customer Data

“Customer Data” means any user data or customer data submitted to the Software (defined below). All Customer Data shall be subject to our Data Security Policy and our Privacy Policy.

User shall, at its own expense, comply with all laws, rules and regulations, and assume all liabilities and obligations imposed by such laws, rules and regulations, with respect to the User’s use of the Platform.

5. Platform Availability

Although we try to provide continuous availability to you, we do not guarantee that the Platform will always be available, work, or be accessible at any particular time. Specifically, we do not guarantee any uptime or specific availability of the Platform. You agree and acknowledge that the Platform uses remote access and may not always be either 100% reliable or available. Only users who are eligible to use our Platform may do so and we may refuse service or terminate your access at any time. We cannot guarantee that anything found on our Platform will work to the functionality desired by you or give you any desired results.

6. Modification of Platform

We reserve the right to alter, modify, update, or remove our Platform at any time. We may conduct such modifications to our Platform for security reasons, intellectual property, legal reasons, or various other reasons at our discretion, and we are not required to explain such modifications or removal. For example, we may provide updates to fix security flaws, or to respond to legal demands. Please note that this is a non-binding illustration of how we might exercise our rights under this section, and nothing in this section obligates us to take measures to update the Platform for security, legal or other purposes.

7. Platform Security

Apsona implements administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of your information and all user content (“User Content”). Those safeguards used are based on industry standards. Aside from such industry standard safeguards, Apsona can make no guarantees regarding any Platform security or any User Content secured.

8. Payments

Such third parties will have terms and conditions independently applicable to your transactions. Where applicable, you must agree to our third party payment processors terms and conditions for processing payments.

10. Free Trials

You may be able to participate in a free trial subscription by submitting your information along with any requirements as set forth by the Platform or the AppExchange. The duration of the free trial is listed on the Platform (usually 30 days) and may change at our discretion. The free trial versions are fully functional and no different from the paid versions.

11. Subscription Plans and Renewals

Apsona offers free trial periods for all our products. After the trial period, licenses must be purchased and renewed on an annual basis in order to assure continued availability.
