Export Source File for Rise

Hello!

I have been using Rise for years...like a lot. I have had my own Articulate subscriptions but some of the companies I worked for would provide one for me (saving me $$$) well a few weeks ago ALL of my Rise links (and I had A LOT) in Review stopped working. Imagine my surprise as I was sending out my portfolio as a freelancer, a recruiter told me my links were broken...enter into the realm of SHEER PANIC.

I contacted Articulate and they said sorry but they are gone. Help me to understand how I paid for the subscription, created a product, and now it is gone?!? I understand Articulate needs space on their servers BUT I have no way to download the Rise courses that are MY intellectual property. Years of work GONE without a notice NOTHING! 

Here is my question: Is there anything I can do moving forward to protect all of the work I do? With the cost of subscriptions only going up it's challenging for freelancers to pay for a subscription you may not need to pay for if the company provides it.
