If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Service.
The Company reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Modifications become effective upon posting to the Service. Your continued use of the Service following the posting of modified Terms constitutes your acceptance of such modifications.

Response times are measured from initial contact during business hours (Monday-Friday, 9 AM - 5 PM Pacific Time, excluding U.S. federal holidays). Response time commitments apply to initial responses, not issue resolution. Critical system outages affecting all users will be addressed with priority regardless of tier.

Active subscribers will be notified via email of any material changes to features included in their subscription tier. Changes that reduce functionality may entitle subscribers to cancel their subscription and receive a pro-rated refund for the remainder of their billing period.
