The Service may support integrations with certain Third-Party Platforms. In order for the Services to communicate with such Third-Party Platforms, Customer may be required to input credentials in order for the Services to access and receive relevant information from such Third-Party Platforms.

We do not endorse, and hereby disclaim all liability or responsibility to you or any other person for any Third Party Service.
Subscription Term, Fees & Payment
Some parts of the Service are billed on a subscription basis (“Subscription(s)”). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”). Billing cycles are set on a monthly basis.
Auto-Renewal and Cancellation
At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you or Tettra cancels or modifies it. Either party can give the other notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of a subscription term to stop the Subscription from automatically renewing. You may cancel your Subscription renewal either through your online account management page or by contacting Tettra customer support team.
Account Suspension for Non-Payment
If any fees owed to us by Customer (excluding amounts disputed reasonably and in good faith) are thirty (30) days or more overdue, we may, without limiting our other rights and remedies, suspend any fee-based Service until those amounts are paid in full, so long as we have given Customer ten (10) or more days’ prior notice that its account is overdue.
Payment
A valid payment method; including credit card, wire transfer, ACH payment or check; is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide Tettra, Inc. with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and a valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize Tettra, Inc. to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments.
Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, Tettra, Inc. will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.
Free Trial
Tettra, Inc. may, at its sole discretion, offer a Subscription with a free trial for a limited period of time (“Free Trial”).
You may be required to enter your billing information in order to sign up for the Free Trial.
If you do enter your billing information when signing up for the Free Trial, you will not be charged by Tettra, Inc. until the Free Trial has expired. On the last day of the Free Trial period, unless you cancelled your Subscription, you will be automatically charged the applicable Subscription fees for the type of Subscription you have selected.
At any time and without notice, Tettra, Inc. reserves the right to (i) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer.
Fee Changes
Tettra, Inc., in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle.
Tettra, Inc. will provide you with a reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective.
Your continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.
Refunds
Except when required by law, paid Subscription fees are non-refundable.
Purchasing Decisions
We may share information about our future product plans because we like transparency. Our public statements about those product plans are an expression of intent, but do not rely on them when making a purchase. If Customer decides to buy our Service, that decision should be based on the functionality or features we have made available today and not on the delivery of any future functionality or features.
Termination
We may terminate or suspend your account and bar access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, under our sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever and without limitation, including but not limited to a breach of the Terms.
If you wish to terminate your account, you may simply discontinue using the Service.
All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.
Account Deletion
You have the right to request that Tettra delete your account, including all Content posted by your Team, Billing Information provided by Customer, and Personal Identifying Information provided by the Customer and/or its Authorized Users for the purposes of creating a Tettra Account. We agree to request deletion of any such data shared with Third Party Services, to the extent allowed by their technology and terms. Tettra agrees to comply with all such requests within 30 days of receipt.
If you are a EU Resident, please see our Privacy Policy for Tettra’s procedure to delete your account.
Storage of Customer Content
Tettra does not provide archiving services and reserves the right to delete all Customer Content posted to the Service 30 days after termination of Customer’s applicable Subscription Term.
Feedback is Welcome
The more suggestions our customers make, the better the Service becomes. If Customer sends us any feedback or suggestions regarding the Service, there is a chance we will use it, so Customer grants us an unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, sublicensable, transferable, royalty-free license to use any such feedback or suggestions for any purpose without any obligation or compensation to Customer, any Authorized User or other Customer personnel. If we choose not to implement the suggestion, please don’t take it personally. We appreciate it nonetheless.
