The trial period is effective directly from the moment of the purchase and ends exactly 14 days later.
3.2 Unless the Customer cancels the subscription within the 14-day trial period, the subscription will automatically continue against the regular payment conditions, as a result of which User is entitled to and will charge the applicable monthly/quarterly/yearly fee related to the Service immediately after the end of the trial period.
