We will treat your company in a professional manner and expect the same from you. We hope to never have to enact this provision. However from time to time we get a real zinger of a client that will go to any length to try to get more than they bargained for by treating our employees, partners, third parties, management, and company in an unprofessional manner, or demanding products and services for free. This hurts all of our clients over time, and this clause gives us the ability to stop such issues before they start. It is intended to prohibit the waste of valuable time, money, and resources which would be better spent investing in our software and services.
