Hey guys

I've been wondering a lot about this and I've asked couple opinions about this from several of my friends who happen to know more about PCs than regular person. I think you know what I mean?

Anyway there's a website where you can buy or try it for a week for free so you can decide is it what you want or not. OKay sounds good? yeah it does, so what I did was I tested it for a week for free I though it was okay and wanted to buy it.

Suddenly I noticed it said to me at the website that "1 trial week" or "50% off from first purchase" I was like "omg I take the 1 week trial" so I did and it worked.

After the week was done I did the same again, paid with paypal 0$ and canceled the auto payment and that's it. So I can use it for free forever?

My first friend said that it could be a trap that they can email to you then and say you've to pay for 4 weeks of trial.

Second friend said it's their fault that they don't fix the bug at their website.

Third friend agreed with my 1st friend.

Me: I asked from the support and they said it's okay to use. Second support guy I said about the bug and they said they would fix it but still nothing?

what do you think?

what do you think?It depends. I am not a lawyer and cannot provide you with legal advice.

If the terms on their site relating to this offer indicate it can only be redeemed once then they could legally compel you to pay for your use of the service outside of the trial. (I think this is unlikely to happen)

If an official representative of the company told you it was ok to do what you're doing then it's probably ok.
