We continually update and improve our Services. Anova may alter the Services at any time without prior notice and without your consent. We will provide you with reasonable prior notice if we make a change to the Services resulting in an overall material decrease in functionality of the Services. If we do make a change that results in a material decrease in functionality, you may terminate your Subscription under clause

8.3.

1.3 SUSPENSION OF SERVICES

We may limit or suspend the Services from time to time at our discretion (for example, to perform scheduled maintenance or in the event of a security emergency). If Anova limits or suspends the Services, we will give you reasonable advance notice so that you can plan around it. However, there may be some situations, such as security emergencies, where it may not be practicable for us to give you advance notice. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to narrow the scope and duration of the suspension or limitation as is needed to resolve the issue that prompted such action.

We may suspend your access to or use of the Services following thirty (30) days’ written notice if Customer is in material breach of this Agreement or any Schedule (including but not limited to Customer’s failure to pay Anova the fees for the Services as set forth in a Schedule).

 

2 Anova Free Trial

The trial effectively starts on the date on which you are granted access to Anova and will expire 30 days after.  You will not be billed on the expiry of the free trial, and we do not request or hold billing information.  You may cancel your trial at any time by emailing hello@myanova.com. Otherwise, the trial will automatically end after 30 days. 

 

When the trial ends, all user access will be revoked, and you will no longer have access to data submitted during the trial period. The personal data of the users which you have created on Anova will be deleted after 30 days.
