2.2. Free plan

Vayne currently offers a free plan that allows you to use the Services without any charge. Vayne reserves the right to change the amount of credits available under this plan or even to cancel it at any time, without notice.

If you decide to cancel your plan, your credits will be rolled over to a free plan, and available for a maximum of 12 months. After that period you will lose all remaining credits and will be left with the credits available in the free plan.

You are responsible for the use of your credits and will be responsible for upgrading your plan if you exhausted your credits.
