Q1. What is the difference between Trial and Paid accounts?

Trial accounts will allow you to use the application with a limited number of users, for example a trial account of EazeHR can be used with 3 users. Also some advanced features like customized reports, configurability of setup are not given in Trial accounts. We also reserve a right to block Trial accounts if the usage exceeds pre-specified limits - these limits are enough for normal working and allow us to control malicious usage.

We are aware of the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of your data.All the data transfer and communication between your machine and our applications on the internet is through a secure SSL connection ensuring that all communications are secure.
