Enterprise Subscribers shall ensure that the total number of Authorized Users does not exceed the maximum number of seats authorized by and purchased from Variant Work (each of which seats represents a unique (named) Authorized User). Enterprise Subscribers may assign different Authorized Users to the seats authorized by and purchased from Variant Work, so long as the total number of Authorized Users at any time does not exceed the maximum number of seats authorized by and purchased from Variant Work, but Authorized Users may not transfer (including by way of sublicense, lease, assignment or other transfer, including by operation of law) their seat, user name or right to use the Sites, Services or Software to any third party. You, the Enterprise Subscriber, and your Authorized Users are jointly responsible for your Authorized Users’ use of the Sites, Services and Software. You are also responsible for ensuring that all of your Authorized Users comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any violation of the terms and/or conditions of this Agreement by any of your Authorized Users shall be deemed to be a violation thereof by you.

Variant Work reserves the right to revise its Fees, including by increasing or adding new Fees, at any time on ten (10) days’ notice. Such notice may be sent to you by email to your most recently provided email address or posted on the Sites or by any other manner chosen by Variant Work in its commercially reasonable discretion. You will be deemed to have received any such notice that is posted on the Sites on the day it was posted.

You may cancel the subscription at any time by following the “View cancellation instructions” link below.
Free trial
Variant Work may offer a free trial membership from time to time with regard to certain Software or Services (a “Trial”). By accessing or using the Sites, Services or Software, you agree to the terms of any such Trial and further agree to any changes Variant Work may make to such Trial as described in “Changes to Services or Terms” below. If you cancel the Services before the end of the trial period, all your rights to any remaining free trial period will be waived (unless you started your Trial via our iOS app, in which case your trial will continue until the end of the trial period), and you will not be eligible to participate in any further Trials, except as allowed by Variant Work in its sole discretion.
This Agreement shall continue until you cancel your subscription or until terminated by Variant Work. You may cancel your subscription at any time, although only an authorized representative of an Enterprise Subscriber may cancel the Enterprise Subscriber’s account. If you cancel after your subscription renewal date, you will not receive a refund for any amounts that have been charged. Your cancellation will be effective at the end of your then-current subscription period, subject to applicable law, and you may use the Services until your cancellation is effective (unless your access is suspended or terminated as set forth below).
Variant Work may deny you access to all or any part of the Services or terminate your account with or without prior notice if you engage in any conduct or activities that Variant Work determines, in its sole discretion, violate this Agreement or the rights of Variant Work or any third party, or is otherwise inappropriate. Without limitation, Variant Work may deny you access to the Services, or terminate this Agreement and your account, if your use of the Services exceeds the 30-day and 24-hour use limitations set forth under the section titled “License.”
If you are an Authorized User of an Enterprise Subscriber, and this Agreement or the applicable agreement for Services and Software is terminated in relation to such Enterprise Subscriber, or if you otherwise lose access to the Services and Software via your Enterprise Subscriber (e.g., if you graduate from that Enterprise Subscriber or are no longer employed by that Enterprise Subscriber), Variant Work may elect in its discretion to (a) terminate your account or (b) downgrade your account to an individual subscriber account, at which point you agree that your use of the Services and Software will be as an individual subscriber in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (which Agreement at that point will be solely between you and Variant Work).
If you are an Authorized User of an Enterprise Subscriber, your Enterprise Subscriber may elect in its discretion and at any time to revoke your Authorized User status and (a) terminate your account or (b) downgrade your account to an individual subscriber account, at which point you agree that your use of the Services and Software will be as an individual subscriber in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (which Agreement at that point will be solely between you and Variant Work).
Upon termination of your account(s) for any reason, your right to use the Services and Software and to access the Sites and any of its content will immediately cease and all content in your account(s) will be deleted. All provisions of this Agreement that by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, limitations of liability and miscellaneous provisions.
Except as may be expressly set forth herein, all Fees paid or accrued in connection with any Services are non-refundable, and Variant Work will not prorate any Fees paid for a subscription that is terminated before the end of its term.
This section titled “Termination of Agreement with Enterprise Subscriber” applies only to Enterprise Subscribers.
Either Variant Work or you may terminate this Agreement by notice if the other party breaches any material term of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of the breach from the non-defaulting party. In addition, Variant Work may suspend the Services upon notice if you fail to make any payment when due and fail to cure such breach within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of the breach from Variant Work. Any such suspension or termination shall be without limitation of any other right or remedy available to the terminating party.
Variant Work may terminate this Agreement for convenience upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice without liability to you. Following a termination pursuant to the foregoing sentence, Variant Work shall refund the pro rata portion of any Fees relating to the remaining term, as applicable.
Either Variant Work or you may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to the other party if the other party has a receiver or similar party appointed for all or substantially all of its property, is declared insolvent by a court of competent jurisdiction, ceases to do business in the ordinary course, files a petition in bankruptcy or has a petition filed against it in bankruptcy, becomes the subject of any court or administrative proceeding related to its liquidation or insolvency (whether voluntary or involuntary) that is not dismissed within ninety (90) days, or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors.
If this Agreement is terminated or otherwise expires for any reason, you shall promptly return to Variant Work or destroy, as directed by Variant Work, all Confidential Information, Software and other materials in your possession or under your control belonging to Variant Work, and all rights and licenses granted by Variant Work pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, your right to use the Services and Software and to access the Sites and any of its content will immediately cease and Variant Work may elect in its discretion to (a) terminate your Authorized Users’ accounts or (b) downgrade your Authorized Users’ accounts to individual subscriber accounts.
All provisions of this Agreement that by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, limitations of liability and miscellaneous provisions.
You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment and ancillary services needed to connect to or access the Sites or otherwise use the Services, including, without limitation, modems, hardware, software, internet service and telecommunications capacity.
