7.4. Generally, Fiftytwo does not provide assistance in connection with error detection and/or error correction in the Customer's third-party products, including Products that may be used to carry out the Delivery.

Subscriptions ordered erroneously will not be reimbursed. The price applicable from time to time for any hosting of the Customer's solution is index-linked by 3% once a year.
