The User is obliged to indemnify Drive-Apps for any direct damages caused by the User in violation of these terms of use or in violation of the law.

9.5 Term and termination

The Customer may terminate the Agreement by ceasing the monthly payments under the Application, in which case the access to the Application will automatically terminate on the last day of the paid month.
