We have one stead-fast rule for all contracts. You must use a password manager.
We provide a password manager which fits your business size and security. However, you may use any password manager, provided it passes our inspection.
AYCE Contracts vs Piecemeal
An All-You-Can-Eat (AYCE) contract and a piecemeal contract represent two fundamentally different approaches to service agreements. In an AYCE contract, clients pay a fixed, often monthly fee, gaining unlimited access to a range of services within the scope of the agreement. This model is akin to a buffet, where everything is available at no extra cost, promoting predictability in budgeting and a comprehensive service experience.
Conversely, a piecemeal contract operates more like an à la carte menu, where clients pay separately for each individual service or task they require. This approach offers flexibility and can be cost-effective for those needing only specific, limited services, but it can also lead to variable costs and less predictable budgeting.
For the sake of simplicity we offer two standard agreements.
