  • First we review the software with you to ensure you feel a trail will be of value. If so, we will collaborate with you to establish a fully operational and personalized domain. Once it's prepared, you have the opportunity to try it out at no cost for a duration of three months. If you find it satisfactory, we'll transition you to the suitable plan. However, if you decide it's not the right fit, we will terminate the domain after the three-month trial period without any charges.
