Spacebase’s policy ensures clients retain full ownership and control over their data, with clear mechanisms for data portability and access.
Data ownership: All lease accounting, management, and supporting documents stored in Spacebase remain the property of the client, not the vendor. Organizations have the legal right to their information and can access it whenever needed.
Data portability: Spacebase provides tools and support for exporting data in commonly used, machine-readable formats, enabling clients to transfer their entire lease portfolio, records, and documents to other systems or platforms without restriction.
No vendor lock-in: Clients are not locked into the system, ensuring easy migration to another platform should business needs change.
Spacebase offers flexible terms for scaling up or down to accommodate changing organizational requirements within its subscription-based SaaS model.
Easy adjustment of licenses and features: Organizations can increase or decrease the number of user licenses, modules, or assets managed as their needs evolve, with changes typically managed through the Spacebase account team or via the platform’s admin controls.
No major infrastructure changes needed: As a cloud-native service, scaling up (adding new business units, geographies, or asset types) or down (removing users or retiring assets) is immediate and does not require additional IT deployment or local setup.
Cost and billing adjustments: Subscription fees are adjusted accordingly based on the new usage level, ensuring organizations pay only for what they need, whether expanding or contracting their operations.
No lock-in penalties for change: Scaling up or down does not incur penalties, but minimum subscription thresholds or notice periods may apply, depending on the contract; large adjustments may require advance notice or formal agreement updates.
Spacebase follows a SaaS contract model with structured terms for renewal and cancellation designed for transparency and client flexibility.
Contract renewal: Most Spacebase contracts renew automatically at the end of each term unless the client provides advance written notice of their intention not to renew. This ensures continuity of service and support without interruption.
Notice period for non-renewal: Clients are typically required to submit written notice—often 30 to 90 days before the renewal date—to opt out of the automatic renewal process. Specific notice periods may vary depending on contract terms agreed at signup.
Cancellation during term: Clients may cancel their contract early, but cancellation may be subject to an early termination fee or the requirement to pay all remaining fees for the current subscription period, as is standard for enterprise SaaS agreements.
Data return and migration support: Upon cancellation, Spacebase supports clients in exporting their data in a machine-readable format, ensuring no vendor lock-in and facilitating an orderly transition to another provider.
Service continuity: Access to Spacebase will remain active until the end of the paid subscription period, even if cancellation is requested, giving clients time to migrate from the platform.
