3.1 The Agreement is formed when an authorised representative of the Customer agrees during a Microsoft Teams or similar remote demonstration or sales call to commence the Surfaceloop trial and subscription on these terms, provided that:
- the call is recorded;
- the call is transcribed;
- these terms are made available to the Customer before or during that process; and
- the Customer is given a reasonable opportunity to review them before acceptance.

5.1 The Customer may begin with a free 14-day trial starting on the activation date notified by AMVIA.
5.2 During the trial, the Customer may access the service subject to this Agreement.
5.3 Unless the parties expressly agree otherwise in writing, if the Customer proceeds directly from the trial into a paid subscription, the discounted subscription price in clause 6.2(a) applies.

6.2 Fees
(a) £149 per month where the Customer signs up to the paid subscription directly from the 14-day trial; or
