You agree that we have the sole authority and discretion to determine the period of time for testing and evaluation of such Trial Services. You will be under no obligation to acquire a subscription to use any paid Service as a result of your subscription to any Trial Service.

You agree that FRSLABS will not be liable to you or to any third party for any harm related to, arising out of, or caused by the modification, suspension or discontinuance of any of the Beta Services for any reason. You agree that all Trial services should be used for non-commercial, internal testing and evaluation purposes only.

You expressly agree that you will not use the Sandbox Services for any commercial or revenue earning activity. You agree that we have the sole authority and discretion to determine the period of time offered for Sandbox Services.

Account Creation

You will have to create an account (“Account”) by providing all required information in order to access or use the Services. If you represent an organization and wish to use the Services, we recommend that you appoint an Organisation Administrator to create other users with suitable access rights to use the Software Services. We request that you use only your corporate email address for such Account creation.

Account Information

It is important that you provide us with accurate, complete and up-to-date information for your Account and you agree to update such information to keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, or if FRSLABS has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, FRSLABS may terminate your user account and refuse current or future use of any or all of the Services.

Organisation Accounts

When you sign up for an account for your organization you may specify one or more Administrators. The administrators will have the right to configure the Services based on your requirements and manage end users in your organization account. If your organization account is created and configured on your behalf by a third party, it is likely that such third party has assumed administrator role for your organization. Make sure that you enter into a suitable agreement with such third party specifying such party’s roles and restrictions as an administrator of your organization account.

You are responsible for i) ensuring confidentiality of your organization account password, ii) appointing competent individuals as administrators for managing your organization account, and iii) ensuring that all activities that occur in connection with your organization account comply with this Agreement. You understand that FRSLABS is not responsible for account administration and internal management of the Services for you. You are responsible for taking necessary steps for ensuring that your organization does not lose control of the administrator accounts. You may specify a process to be followed for recovering control in the event of such loss of control of the administrator accounts by sending an email to support@frslabs.com, provided that the process is acceptable to FRSLABS. In the absence of any specified administrator account recovery process, FRSLABS may provide control of an administrator account to an individual providing proof satisfactory to FRSLABS demonstrating authorisation to act on behalf of the organization. You agree not to hold FRSLABS liable for the consequences of any action taken by FRSLABS in good faith in this regard.

Fees and Payments for Subscriptions

Certain Services are available under pre-paid subscription plans of various durations. Payments for pre-paid subscription plans are made in advance through our payment gateway partners with a range of payment methods. If you are on an automatic renewal, your subscription will be automatically renewed at the end of each subscription period unless you inform us that you do not wish to renew the subscription. At the time of automatic renewal, the subscription fee will be charged to the payment method last used by you. We provide you the option of changing the details if you would like the payment for the renewal to be made through a different payment method. If you do not wish to renew the subscription, you must inform us at least thirty days prior to the renewal date. If you have not informed us that you do not wish to renew the subscription, you will be presumed to have authorized FRSLABS to charge the subscription fee to the payment method last used by you. From time to time, we may change the price of any Service. Any increase in charges will not apply until the expiry of your then current billing cycle.

No Refunds

Our pre-paid Subscription Services are billed in advance for the chosen plan and is non refundable. Therefore, we request you to opt for the subscription once you are fully satisfied with the Services. If you are dissatisfied at anytime during your first seven days of using our Service, please contact us on support@frslabs.com. We will do our best to address your issue, provide a work around or give a timeline for a solution that will meet your needs.

In the event of such termination, all data associated with such user account will be deleted. For paid services, we will provide you prior notice of such termination and option to back-up your data. The data deletion policy may be implemented with respect to any or all of the Services. Each Service will be considered an independent and separate service for the purpose of calculating the period of inactivity.
