The sandbox is not for commercial use.

Access to and use of the sandbox is not granted for a specific trial period. You may continue to access and use the sandbox for as long as this agreement is in place. That said, we may terminate this agreement and revoke your access to the sandbox:

• at any time if you commit a material breach of this agreement that cannot be remedied or is not remedied within seven days; or
• with seven days' written notice, for any reason.

You can also terminate this agreement for the same reasons (see clause 9 below).

• By accessing the sandbox, you confirm that you understand and agree that:
• Any feedback or information you share with us about your use of the sandbox is not confidential and we may use it for any purpose as we see fit.
• The sandbox may contain bugs and errors, experience disruptions, and not operate as intended.
• The sandbox is for use only with test data. It must not be used for hosting or processing any confidential information or personal data (as defined in data protection laws).

• You will comply with all the terms set out in this agreement.
