A free trial, or free demo version, is a service that offers you various apps and internet portals conditional on you registering your card. The terms and conditions usually state that it is a free service for a certain period and once this period expires, a certain amount will be deducted regularly (monthly or annually).
How can you protect yourself?
- Read the terms and conditions of the service carefully.
- If you do not wish to continue using the service, do not forget to cancel it before the ‘Free Trial’ period expires.
