If we offer products from other companies, those come with their own terms. We're not responsible for third-party products or services.

- Becomes public (not through our fault)
- Received legally from others
- De-identified data
We can share confidential information when required by law or court order.
4.3 Your Data Belongs to You
You own all your data. We can use your company name and logo in our marketing materials.
4.4 Changes We Might Make
To the Service
We may update the service and will notify you of major changes. We reserve the right to discontinue the service but will give you notice.
To These Terms
If we make important changes to these terms, we'll email you or post a notice in your account. If a change negatively affects you and you disagree, tell us within 30 days. You'll keep your current terms until your renewal, then the new terms apply.
4.5 Understanding Service Capacity
Our team members have 30 productive hours per week. Your service class determines how many customers share a team:
- Economy Class: Up to 6 other customers (bi-weekly calls)
- Premium Class: Up to 3 other customers (weekly calls)
- Business Class: 1 other customer maximum (weekly calls)
- First Class: Dedicated team just for you (unlimited calls)
“Unlimited” services are subject to your service class's available capacity. If we can't complete something this month, it rolls to next month.
4.6 Nonprofit Pricing
To qualify for nonprofit rates, you must be approved by Microsoft as a nonprofit. You need to maintain this status and tell us immediately if it changes. If you lose nonprofit status, you'll be switched to regular pricing.
By subscribing or renewing, you agree to these terms.
