Free Trial Policy
During the free trial period, customers are granted complimentary access to our hosting services, which include enhancements to speed and CO2 optimisation features as detailed on the Performance package. Please note that these upgrades are provided at no additional cost for the duration of the free trial.
However, it is important to understand that while the hosting and specified upgrades are included, any development work undertaken as part of the Development package is chargeable. Specifically, should you require development services during your trial, the provision of up to two hours of development work is available but will incur charges if the service is cancelled at any point during or after the free trial period. These charges are non-refundable and designed to compensate for the professional time spent on development tasks requested by the customer.
Additionally, if a customer trials the Development package as part of the free trial and subsequently cancels, any development hours used during this period will be billed at our full agency rate.
By accepting this free trial, you agree to these terms, acknowledging that while the trial includes hosting and performance upgrades, any development work requested is subject to charges as outlined above, payable upon cancellation of the trial or service.
