If a resource we use to provide you with this service (for example computer hard disk space and the cost of backing it up) gets less expensive over time then we will try to automatically share that price reduction with you by reducing your next subscription cost or by increasing the amount of resources you are allowed to use at the existing price.
  3. Keep you informed of alternative subscription plans so you can meet your needs better for example to downgrade or upgrade based number of staff requiring access to financial records.

  5. Set the limit based on reasonable averages for other users like you.

Currently we provide for 3 users per Business File before requesting you purchase additional Business File licences.
  7. Set limits for the common good in order to prevent one user inadvertently using excessive resources that should be shared with other users.
  8. Reserve the right to terminate service to you if you exceed your limits or abuse the service or our staff or communication channels in any way.
  9. Tell you well in advance (normally) if you breach any limits and we will give you the option of reducing your usage back below the limit or upgrading to a more appropriate plan.

  11. We reserve the right to vary prices or features for all customers (including free users) at any time but will always try to give you reasonable notice and try to improve your service overall rather than reduce it.
