3.      EVALUATION USE. You are permitted to try The Edge® software, without purchasing a license for business use, for a period of up to six months, provided that you do not utilize The Edge® software for business purposes, but solely for determining whether or not you want to purchase an Edge® software license for business use.

4.1.3.      Requirements.  To be eligible for this money back guarantee, you or a member of staff must attend our Edge Introductory Training, either in person or virtually, or have completed an instore training.  Failure to do your due diligence in learning the software voids this money back guarantee.

4.4.1.      Software license purchase. If you are purchasing your Edge® software license, then we will provide reasonable and customary technical support for The Edge® software, at no additional cost to you, for a period of six months commencing on the date of purchase.
