    },
    {
      "question": "Will my renewal keep the same price?",
      "answer": "Not necessarily. The agreement states that fees for renewal terms are at Profound's then-current rates, regardless of any discounted pricing in a prior Order."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can I get a refund from Profound?",
      "answer": "Fees are non-refundable. The only documented exception is Profound's infringement-mitigation clause, under which Profound may terminate the agreement and refund pre-paid, unused fees for the terminated portion of the term."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is there a free trial?",
      "answer": "The pricing page offers a 'Try for free' option on the Growth plan. The agreement's Trials and Betas clause allows internal evaluation for the period Profound designates, or 30 days if none is designated, with no warranty or support during the trial."
    },
    {
      "question": "What happens to my data after cancelling?",
      "answer": "Following expiration or termination, Profound will promptly return or delete customer data, apart from copies kept in standard backups or required by law. Access to the platform ceases when the term ends."
