10.6. When the Subscription ends, the User's data is not deleted. Library items above the free limits stay available read-only, and profile customization that requires the Subscription is hidden and restored on resubscribing.

10.7. Cancellation and refunds are governed by the Refund Policy (https://tryliner.tech/legal/refund-policy), which forms part of these Terms. It does not limit the User's rights under consumer protection law.
