Contract and demo record
Five questions worth getting in writing.
- Which features, roles, storage, usage, support, and security controls are included in this exact plan?
- What can we export without vendor help, in which formats, and what would be missing?
- How are backups tested, and how would we request a restore after an error or incident?
- What happens to our data, subprocessor copies, and account access after termination?
- Which accessibility standards and test results cover owner, staff, and client workflows?
