That seems to be a special case. The vendetta online site says:

 Try the game for free, no strings attached, no credit card required. Sign up for a trial account, download the client and play whenever you like, up to a total of eight hours in the game. If you decide Vendetta Online suits you, it's easy to upgrade to a paying account (major credit cards, PayPal, and other methods accepted). Rates start at $9.99/month, with bulk discounts down to $6.67/mo for larger blocks of time.

So it could be that the client is the trial client. You will see if this is the case after eight hours of playing :)
