Description of the Software and Service

The SpamFree Software and Service allows e-mail users to minimize the number of spam e-mails that reach their inbox.  The Software blocks spam instantly at the e-mail application level.  You do not need to change anything about the way you send or receive e-mail to use the Software.

Trial Period and Purchase Terms

You may use the Software and the Service only upon purchasing the Software in accordance with the purchase terms that were presented to you at the time of purchase (the "Purchase Terms"). Such terms may differ on the various promotions that Spamfree is running at various times, and each promotion may have a different trial period as indicated in the Purchase Terms. At the trial period, you will be offered to use the Software for free, without any payment obligation.  During the trial period, You may cancel your registration and terminate the use of the Software and the Service by sending us a message through the link provided in the welcome e-mail that you receive from us upon registration, or by contracting the SpamFree support team at Support@SpamFree.com.  After the trial period, to continue your use of the Software and the Service, you must purchase the Software at the price provided to you in the Purchase Terms.  The purchase of the Software allows you to use the software for a period of one year (the “Term”), after which you will be required to pay an annual renewal fee in order to continue using the Software and the Service. During the first thirty (30) days following the purchase of the software, you may terminate your use of the Software and the Service in the above manner and receive a full refund of the payment.  Thereafter, the Purchase Price is non-refundable and should you cancel your subscription before the end of the Term, you will not be able to receive a refund for the remaining portion of the Term.  SpamFree reserves the right, at its sole discretion, at any time, to offer the Software and the Service to customers at a discount or to offer premiums and/or promotions as incentives.  All fees and charges shall be charged to the credit card provided by you during the purchase process, and you agree to pay all such charges, including any applicable taxes relating to your purchase of the Software and use of the Service.
