1.
What is the rationale of charging TimeTec TA by a block of 10 users instead of counting the license by the exact number of users to reduce the implementation cost?
Staff turnover is never constant and always changing in a company. To charge for an individual license for every new recruit is cumbersome because you have to go through TimeTec TA license subscription and payment process before he/she can be registered into the system, or you will need to cancel a user license if he/she had resigned. Charging 10 users per block of user licenses would ensure that a company has some spare licenses to be used at anytime. The TimeTec TA license subscription fee is only USD2 per user per month, comparatively low in the market, and the minimum of 10 users as a unit of group license only to justify our investment and commitment to provide high quality and reliable system for you.
2. If my company has a subscription billing cycle of one year, and in the middle of the year, we hire some new staff and we run out of spare user licenses. Can I buy new User Group License and still sync with my billing cycle?
Yes, you can subscribe to a new User Group License anytime, and sync it to the expiry date (calculated monthly) of your billing cycle. You would be charged according to the remaining months of your existing expiry date. In reverse, if you want to reduce your User Group License due to staff reduction, you can unsubscribe and get the refund minus the administration charge of USD10 and bank charge accordingly.
Note: The Term of Subscription Discount is not applicable for additional User Group License subscription in between Billing Cycle.
