The OneOffice Service may be integrated with, or may otherwise interact with, third-party applications, websites, and services (“Third-Party Applications”) and third-party personal computers, mobile handsets, tablets, wearable devices, speakers, and other devices (“Devices”). Your use of such Third-Party Applications and Devices may be subject to additional terms, conditions, and policies provided to you by the applicable third party. OneOffice does not guarantee that Third-Party Applications and Devices will be compatible with the OneOffice Service.
Service limitations and modifications

If you do not agree to a price change, you can reject the change by unsubscribing from the applicable Paid Subscription prior to the price change going into effect.
Renewal and Cancellation
With the exception of Paid Subscriptions for a Pre-Paid Period, your payment to OneOffice or the third party through which you purchased the Paid Subscription will automatically renew at the end of the applicable subscription period, unless you cancel your Paid Subscription before the end of the then-current subscription period.
