Asked. Answered.
◆ FAQ · 04
Q · 01
Can we cancel month to month?
Yes. 30-day notice, no penalty, no clawback. We've never asked anyone to sign an annual contract.
−
Q · 02
What if we use less than 20 hours a month?
Hours don't roll over, but we'll proactively suggest optimization work to keep the meter useful. Most months you'll use the full allotment.
+
Q · 03
What if we need more than 20 hours?
We'll quote a System Build or Integration Project alongside the retainer. We don't overcharge against the retainer; we just scope a separate engagement.
