What happens when my trial expires?

Funny question I know, but by default my LibraryThing account had a link to the tinycat catalogue, but I had no access to the back end. Then I went and signed up for the 30 day trial (which was dumb really, because I don't really need access to the back end) so now I'm wondering, when the 30days is up, does the whole thing disappear, including the default access to the search feature, or do I just lose my admin ability?

Happy to help clarify: You have an organizational TinyCat account, meaning you'll need to subscribe before your free trial ends to maintain front-end access to the catalog. If your free trial expires without a subscription, the front-end will get disabled and any visitors to your TinyCat will not be able to search your catalog. You will always be able to log into the Admin portal, for re-enabling the catalog (if it is ever disabled), changing settings, etc. You will also always have access to your LibraryThing account/catalog, where your book data actually "lives". I hope this helps.

Please let me know if you have any further questions!

Thanks Kristi,

Thanks for clearing that up. That makes sense but it seems like I shouldn't have signed up and then we'd still have access to the front end. :)

The tinycat interface is great , btw.
