You may only sign up for one free trial or evaluation license in each calendar year.
(c) Renewals.
You agree that Crawford Computing shall have the right to automatically and without notice renew your license to continue to Use the Crawford Computing Products or Services upon expiration of your then-current license, and that as part of such renewal Crawford Computing shall have the right to charge the applicable renewal fees and any applicable taxes, which may be different than those you paid when you initially purchased or last renewed your license for Crawford Computing Products or Services to any credit card you used to purchase your then-current license. You agree that if you elect to not permit Crawford Computing the right to automatically renew your license to Use Crawford Computing Products or Services or your credit card information on file with Crawford Computing does not permit automatic renewal, then Crawford Computing may terminate your license if you do not otherwise renew your license.

(d) Cancellation of Renewals.
You may cancel a renewal of a subscription only on the following terms: If your most recent original or renewal of Crawford Computing Products or Services was for a period of greater than fourteen (14) days, you have fourteen (14) days from the date that your subscription was last renewed to elect to discontinue your Use of Crawford Computing Products or Services.

We will not apply a termination charge if you stop your service when still within your contract term.

Crawford Computing retains all rights to any intellectual property (code) created for any contract, and the contractee retains the rights to the content. If you wish to take your website with you upon severance of contract with Crawford Computing, you may choose to buy the rights to it outright for $3,500. In such a case you will recive a compressed zip file with the entire website ready to upload to your new host, and Crawford Computing will assist in getting it up and running. Crawford Computing will retain your website data for a period of one (1) month after termination, during which time you may choose to but the rights to it. Note: if you otherwise wish to visually copy the site from scratch creating your own code to eliminate the $3,500 charge, Crawford Computing has no control over that, the charge is for assistance and a ready-to-go pre-coded site.
Our Prices: $350 coding fee for the first year. After that time you may choose to go to a month-to-month contract at a rate of $35 a month coding fee or may continue a yearly membership of $350 coding fee which nets you a two free months.
