To be eligible to register for a Contentful account and use the Contentful Services on a trial basis, you must review and accept the terms of this Agreement by selecting the checkbox or via any other mechanism that we provide from time to time. PLEASE REVIEW THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS OR USING THE CONTENTFUL SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS WITH THE CONTENTFUL ENTITY INDICATED BELOW (“CONTENTFUL”).
