Cross-clause notes
The Terms of Service, § 6 (CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES) describes rights the platform takes in user content, and the Privacy Policy, Privacy Policy › “Security vendors” describes disclosure of data to third parties or subprocessors. Both clauses are in force at the same time — read them together.
Verified retention clauses point in different directions: the Privacy Policy, Privacy Policy › “Data security & retention” describes broad or open-ended retention, while the Terms of Service, § 3 (USER ACCOUNTS, SUBSCRIPTIONS AND FREE TRIALS) describes deletion or erasure. Which clause controls in a given situation is not resolved by the documents' text alone — this is surfaced as an ambiguity, treated as Caution.

We reserve the right to change our subscription plans or adjust pricing for the Services in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any price changes or changes to your subscription plan will take effect following reasonable notice to you. If we post new prices or make changes to the subscription plans, you will have the option to cancel your subscription if you do not agree to the new pricing. Should you choose to cancel, the cancellation will take effect at the end of the current subscription period, and no further payments will be required. All subscriptions are payable in accordance with payment terms in effect at the time the subscription becomes payable. Payment can be made by credit card, debit card, or other means that we may make available.
