3. FREE TRIALS, ORDERS, FEES, PAYMENT, AND FREE CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS
3.1. Free Trials. New Wrike customers are eligible to participate in a free trial. The free trial starts when a Customer creates a Customer Account and ends upon the later of (i) fourteen (14) days from the free trial start date, or (ii) a date agreed upon by Wrike in its sole discretion. During the free trial, certain Service and features may not be available. At any time during the free trial, a Customer may convert its free trial Customer Account into a paid Subscription by clicking the “Subscription” button within the Wrike console. Customer’s continued use of the Service after upgrading to a paid Subscription is subject to its ongoing compliance with this Agreement, and any free trial terms and conditions shall no longer apply. Customer can view the specific details of its Service plan by referencing the "Account Management - Subscription" page, available after logging into the Service. Customer may not receive notice or confirmation from Wrike that the free trial has ended or that the paid Subscription has begun.
3.2. General Terms and Billing. Wrike will bill and Customer agrees to pay Fees at the beginning and upon renewal of its Subscription, plus any applicable Taxes, unless and until Customer timely cancels its Subscription or Wrike terminates it. The Subscription will automatically renew for successive Subscription Terms unless either Party provides written notice of its intent not to renew prior to the expiration of the then-current Subscription Term. Wrike may increase the Fees due under the applicable Order or Order Form for the applicable renewal term (if any) by providing notice to Customer of such increase at least sixty (60) days before the commencement of the upcoming renewal term, provided that the per-unit Fees shall be increased by no more than the greater of (i) the then-list price as publicly marketed on Wrike’s website, or (ii) five percent (5%) of the prior Subscription Term’s Fees. Customer must cancel its Subscription before the Subscription renews to avoid incurring the next Subscription Term’s Fees. Fees may include Service-level changes as requested by Customer. Wrike will automatically bill Customer for each renewal period on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of its Subscription. If Customer elects to upgrade its Service level or otherwise add any paid component or feature, Wrike will prorate the amount due based on the number of days remaining in Customer’s billing cycle; provided, however, that any such proration shall be based on Customer’s Service level or paid components or features in existence immediately prior to Customer’s election to upgrade or add paid components or features. If Customer downgrades its Service level, Customer may cause the loss of Customer Data or features for its Customer Account; Customer agrees Wrike shall not be liable for any such losses. Except to the extent required by applicable law (including, without limitation, Australian law), all purchases are final and WRIKE DOES NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL OR UNUSED SUBSCRIPTION PERIODS, OR WHERE CUSTOMER HAS ELECTED TO DOWNGRADE ITS SERVICE LEVEL OR OTHERWISE REMOVED ANY PAID COMPONENT OR FEATURE, OR FOR ANY FEATURE OR COMPONENT THAT CUSTOMER HAS PAID FOR BUT NOT USED.
3.3. Fee Increase Grace Period. Wrike may, in its sole discretion, offer a grace period during which Customer’s Fees will not increase for a certain period of time. If Customer does not accept the increase or addition to the existing Fees, Customer may elect to terminate its Subscription during the then-current billing period and Customer shall not be liable for such Fee increase after the applicable billing period; however, any later renewal of the Subscription will be subject to the increased Fees. If Customer’s credit or debit card used to pay the Fees reaches its expiration date, Customer’s continued use of the Service constitutes its authorization for Wrike to continue billing Customer, and Customer remains responsible for any uncollected amounts.
3.4. Free Customer Accounts. Customer may cancel its Subscription at any time and cancellation will be effective immediately. Customer agrees that, after termination or expiration of its Subscription, its Customer Account will be converted to a free Customer Account (if available for the particular terminated or expired Subscription).
3.5. Taxes. In connection with the purchase and/or use of the Service, Customer may be subject to Taxes, by any authority which has jurisdiction to impose such Taxes. Customer agrees that Customer is solely responsible for its obligation and payment of any such Taxes, and Customer agrees, unless otherwise required by applicable law, to indemnify Wrike to the extent that Wrike incurs any obligations or other liabilities in connection with such Taxes. Wrike’s failure to charge appropriate Taxes due to incomplete or incorrect information provided by Customer will not relieve Customer of its obligations under this Section 3.5.
3.6. Payment Fees. If Customer makes any payment via credit card, foreign currency, or wire transfer, all associated credit card fees, currency exchange fees, and outgoing and incoming bank fees (including, without limitation, Customer’s bank fees and Wrike’s bank fees) (collectively with credit card fees and currency exchange fees, “Payment Fees”) shall be Customer’s responsibility and shall be recoverable by Wrike from Customer. Customer may include such Payment Fees at the time of the payment to Wrike. However, if such Payment Fees are not included by Customer at the time of payment to Wrike, then Wrike shall be entitled to full reimbursement of such Payment Fees from Customer within sixty (60) days of any applicable payment initiated by Customer.
4. TERM AND TERMINATION
Wrike may, with or without prior notice, immediately terminate the Customer’s Account, Subscription, Subscription Term, and/or access to the Service. Such termination may be made in Wrike's sole and absolute discretion, with or without cause. Customer agrees that Wrike shall not be liable to Customer or any third party for any termination of its Customer Account, Subscription, Subscription Term, and/or access to the Service.
5. CUSTOMER DATA AND ACCOUNT
5.1. Customer Data. Customer retains all rights to any and all of its Customer Data, subject to a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-free license to Wrike as necessary to provide the Service hereunder. Each Party shall apply reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative security measures, as appropriate relative to the Service, to keep Customer Data protected in accordance with industry standards, including those identified in Section 8.7 for Wrike.

Customer will notify Wrike immediately of any unauthorized use of its Customer Account or any other breach of security relating to Customer’s use of the Service. Customer will be liable for losses, damages, liability, expenses, and attorneys’ fees incurred by Wrike or a third party due to someone other than a User using a Customer Account.

Customer acknowledges that Wrike will rely on the information provided by Customer to resolve issues arising with the Customer Account.
5.3. Customer Account Access/Instructions. The Customer Account owner and any authorized Users will have access to information in the Customer Account, subject to the account’s sharing settings.

Customer agrees that Wrike may rely on instructions given by the Customer Account owner either through the Account dashboard or via email from the address on file at Wrike for the Customer Account owner. Customer agrees not to request access to or information about an account that is not owned by the Customer. In the event of a dispute regarding Customer Account data, Wrike will only release information to persons other than the Customer Account owner pursuant to a court order or other notarized waiver and release as determined by Wrike. Customer is solely liable and responsible for understanding the settings, privileges, and controls for the Service and for controlling whom Customer permits to become a User and the settings and privileges for such User, including, without limitation, the right for a User to invite other Users (either paid or unpaid) to use Customer’s Service, the right to incur charges on the Customer Account, and the right to access, modify or share tasks or projects, etc. Customer is responsible for the activities of all of its Users, including orders they may place and how Users use the Customer Data, even if those Users are not from Customer’s organization or domain.

8.18. Assignment. Customer may not assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement either in whole or in part without Wrike’s prior written consent, except that Customer may assign this Agreement in whole to one of Customer’s Affiliates, or to a successor in interest as part of a corporate reorganization, consolidation, merger, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.

8.22. Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence; Modifications. The Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties relating to the Service and Customer Data and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral and written agreements. For any conflict between these terms and any supplementary BAA terms related to PHI, this Agreement shall control. Nothing contained in any other document submitted by Customer shall in any way add to or otherwise modify the Agreement or any Wrike license program terms under which an Order is submitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and an order form prepared solely by Wrike, referencing this Agreement as governing terms, and signed by the Parties (an “Order Form”), such Order Form shall control. Wrike may update or make changes to the terms of this Agreement from time to time for valid reasons, such as adding new functions or features to the Service, technical adjustments, corrections of typographical or other errors, for legal or regulatory reasons or for any other reasons as Wrike deems necessary, at its sole discretion, without notice (but the modified Agreement may be reviewed at https://www.wrike.com/terms/ and will be identified by the last updated date). Customer’s continued access to and use of the Service after the changes have been implemented constitutes acceptance of the changes and the then-current terms. When material changes to the terms of the Agreement are made, Wrike will provide Customer with notice as appropriate under the circumstances, e.g., by displaying a prominent notice within the Service or by sending Customer an email. Customer’s continued access to and use of the Service after such notice and implementation of the changes will constitute Customer’s acceptance of the changes and the then-current terms. In the event Customer wishes to add on additional features or components to its Subscription that require additional terms of use, Customer agrees that Customer’s Account Owner has the full legal authority to accept and bind Customer to such additional terms of use in connection with enabling such additional features and components via the Service, e.g., from within Customer’s account management portal.

Wrike’s resellers and distributors do not have the right to make modifications to this Agreement or to make any additional representations, commitments, or warranties binding on Wrike, its Affiliates, or its subcontractors. No waiver or amendment of any term or condition of this Agreement shall be valid or binding on any Party unless agreed to in writing by such Party.
