In the event a Customer provides billing information at the time of registration for a free trial, Customer understands and agrees that Customer shall be automatically billed the entire fee associated with the selected Paid Plan on the first (1st) calendar day following the end of the free trial period unless Customer cancels such free trial prior to the end of the free trial period.

When the Customer cancels the subscription, it will remain active until the end of the currently paid billing period at which point it will automatically cancel and will no longer be auto-renewed.
