The subject matter of this agreement is to set out the rights and obligations of the parties concerning the provision of the Service to the Subscriber within the scope of the selected Plan.

The person approving it declares that they are authorised to accept this agreement on behalf of the Subscriber.
5. Scope of the Service

6. Trial period
The trial plan is free of charge for the period specified in the Plan.

The Service Provider sends e-mail reminders to the Subscriber's authorised representative 14, 7 and 1 days before expiry.
8. Fees and payment
Plan fees are published in the quotation, in the order document or at sixbloom.com; unless otherwise stated, they exclude VAT.
