We believe transparency is key, and that's why our terms are published for all to see.

Here's the small print (it's actually a reasonable size to be fair)

The friendly version

For all the non-lawyer type people out there.

  • You agree to pay us and we agree to provide you with a service
  • If you don't pay us, we don't (in fact won't) provide you with the service any more
  • You won't do anything illegal with our software, we don't want to go to prison
  • You agree to not steal our stuff as we're sure you don't want to go to prison
  • You won't use our stuff to do illegal things, we like the police and we'll help them catch you
  • You won't use your phone whilst you're driving - it's against the law and it's dangerous
  • All services are on a plan unless we agree otherwise: Crittah Lite - month to month, Crittah Small Biz - 3 months, Crittah Enterprise 12 months but hey you probably expected that anyway
  • If you want to stop, just give us 30 days notice
  • Like a mobile phone plan if you're in your plan you may have to pay something to finish early
  • That's how we keep our costs down and our service high

Sound fair?

For the legal eagles out there

Here's the detailed version.
