Subscription
-
2.1
With the purchase of a subscription, the Provider grants the Customer a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license, without the right to sublicense, aimed at allowing the Customer, through specifically authorized users, to use the Services for the Subscription Term and exclusively within the scope of the Customer's commercial or entrepreneurial activity.
-
2.2
Subscriptions are available at a fixed cost, which is determined based on the number of writes performed on the databases associated with the domain or domains configured in the Customer's account. These writes occur during the period of use of the Service, which may be monthly, annual, or follow another agreed cadence. By writes, we mean page views, i.e., the number of load requests. In the event that the number of write operations exceeds the limit provided in the active subscription, the account will be placed in "overage" mode. In this mode, access to the data consultation panels will be limited to a single page of a website owned by the Customer, and the recording of additional events configured by the Customer in the usage settings will be inhibited. It is the Customer's responsibility to take measures to prevent any unauthorized use of the Services and, in the event of unauthorized use, promptly inform the Provider.
-
2.3
If the number of writes exceeds the limit provided in the active subscription, the account will switch to "overage" mode, preventing access to the data consultation panels. However, the recording of new data will continue even beyond the established threshold. The Customer has the option to reactivate access to consultation features at any time by adjusting their subscription plan to the new write volumes generated by their websites. This can be done by purchasing a subscription with a higher event registration threshold, as indicated by the Provider. To change the amount of writes included in the subscription, the Customer can request it through the Website or send a written communication via email to the Provider. The Provider will evaluate the request, reserving the right to approve or reject it at its discretion. If approved, the additional subscriptions will be activated on the same day as the approval. Additionally, a self-service function is available to change the subscription plan within the thresholds set by the Provider. The rights granted under this article are exclusively granted to the Customer, excluding controlled companies, group subsidiaries, or controlling companies, unless otherwise agreed between the parties.
-
2.4
The rights provided by this article are exclusively granted to the Customer, excluding any controlled companies, group subsidiaries, or controlling companies, subject to a different agreement between the parties.

Failure to purchase the Subscription by the end of the trial period will result in the inability to continue using the Services.
