These email notifications may include: updates to Ahrefs' toolset, tips and tutorials on using Ahrefs tools, and system messages.
You're also given an option to subscribe to promotional offers and weekly updates from Ahrefs blog, which is not obligatory for completing the registration process.

In order to protect the integrity of the Service, Ahrefs reserves the right at any time in its sole discretion to block registrants and subscribers from certain IP addresses from accessing the Service.
You may become a registrant of the Service at no cost. As a registrant, you will have the ability to participate in some, but not all, of the features and tools available within the Service.
In order to access additional features, including the ability to use many of our tools, you must become a subscriber to the Service.
We offer paid monthly subscription plans and annual subscription plans. These subscriptions are paid upfront monthly or annually depending on your subscription plan and according to your billing period, with automatic renewals every month or year respectively. You therefore acknowledge and agree that there will be recurring payments by you for the same and that we are authorised to charge the same credit card that you have used for the initial subscription and/or any other payment method used. This will continue until you cancel your subscription plan with us. Such cancellation must be made by you before your subscription renews in order to avoid being charged for the following month’s or year’s subscription fee. When you cancel, you will still have access to our Service based on your subscription plan until the end of your subscription period. You may also opt to downgrade your subscription plan at any time. Any downgrade will only take effect after the end of your current subscription period and the provisions in this section will continue to apply to such downgraded subscription plans.
Depending on the subscription plan you select, you will be entitled to varying number of features and/or different limits. Any additional usage on top of those provided under the respective subscription plans is subject to additional charges as set forth in our pricing page. We will periodically charge you for such usage on a pay-as-you-go basis. This will continue for any accrued pay-as-you-go usage even after the cessation of your subscription plan for any reason and any unused portion will expire by the stipulated timeframe without being transferred to any subsequent usage period. In the event that such charges are not paid by you, we shall have the right to remove your access to our Service at any time and apply the value of your remaining subscription plan towards the fulfilment of such charges.
Unless required by law, Ahrefs is not obligated to provide you a refund at any time or for any reason. For your monthly subscription, you may request for a refund after payment has been made for non-use, but please be advised that we reserve the right to decline your refund request should we see any material activity in your account.
