Termination

Upon the termination of this Agreement due to the expiration of your paid subscription term, your account will not immediately lose access to the Convox Console. Instead, it will revert to the free subscription level, where you will retain access to Convox Console's basic features but lose access to premium, paid features. This ensures that users can fully benefit from the service they have paid for, without immediate loss of functionality upon cancellation.
Convox is committed to data integrity and respects the privacy and security of your data. Account deletion or deactivation, including the removal of related information and files, will only be considered in extreme circumstances, such as a significant violation of our user agreement. Such actions are considered a last resort and, where feasible, will be preceded by attempts to communicate with the involved party to resolve the issue.
For those not under a year-long or other fixed-term contract, either Convox or the user may terminate this Agreement at any time with proper notice to the other party. Following termination under these conditions, the user will transition to the free subscription level, as mentioned above. It is recommended that users export any data they wish to preserve before their paid subscription ends.
Certain Terms provisions are designed to survive termination. These include, but are not limited to, ownership rights, warranty disclaimers, indemnity obligations, and limitations of liability.
