HTHR may make available to Customer access to the Platform and related Services on a limited trial basis at no cost to Customer ("Evaluation"), and may, from time to time, invite Customer to participate in pre-release or beta versions of features, functionalities, or modules (each, a "Proof of Concept" or "POC"), in each case solely for evaluation and testing purposes during the specified trial period (the POC and Evaluation, the "Trial Period"). Participation in a Trial Period is voluntary. The Evaluation shall end upon the first occurrence of (i) thirty (30) days following initiation, (ii) one hundred (100) connected calls or (iii) four-hundred (400) minutes, unless extended by HTHR in its sole discretion.

HTHR reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to discontinue or suspend Customer's or any user's use or access to the Platform and/or POC at any time in its sole discretion. If Customer or its Authorized Users are accessing and using a POC, the Platform or any services in connection therewith during a Trial Period, this Section 3.5 will apply and take precedence over any inconsistent or conflicting terms with respect to the Trial Period.
CUSTOMER'S AND ITS AUTHORIZED USERS' USE OF OR ACCESS IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRIAL PERIOD AND ANY SERVICES DURING THE TRIAL PERIOD IS ENTIRELY AT CUSTOMER'S AND EACH SUCH AUTHORIZED USER'S OWN RISK. HTHR IS NOT OBLIGATED TO CORRECT ANY BUGS, DEFECTS, OR ERRORS IN THE POC OR THE PLATFORM OR SUCH SERVICES DURING THE TRIAL PERIOD, OR SUPPORT OR MAINTAIN THE PLATFORM OR POC OR SUCH SERVICES DURING THE TRIAL PERIOD. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THE AGREEMENT, HTHR WILL HAVE NO SUPPORT OBLIGATIONS, INDEMNIFICATION OR DEFENSE OBLIGATIONS, OR LIABILITY OF ANY TYPE WITH RESPECT TO THE TRIAL PERIOD (UNLESS SUCH EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN WHICH CASE IN NO EVENT WILL HTHR' LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THE TRIAL PERIOD EXCEED $100). CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FEES (OR LACK THEREOF) REFLECT THE ALLOCATION OF RISK IN RESPECT OF ANY TRIAL PERIOD AND THAT HTHR WOULD NOT MAKE SUCH TRIAL PERIOD AVAILABLE WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS ON ITS LIABILITY. IF CUSTOMER DOES NOT AGREE TO THE ALLOCATION OF RISK IN THIS SECTION 3.5, ITS SOLE RECOURSE IS TO IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE THE TRIAL PERIOD.

If any legal action is brought by a party to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to receive its attorneys' fees, court costs, and other legal expenses, in addition to any other relief it may receive from the non-prevailing party.
