These updates are managed through a combination of automated cloud delivery for SaaS deployments and coordinated version releases for on-premise customers.

On-premise clients are offered guided update packages, with step-by-step instructions and support resources to ensure smooth transitions during maintenance windows.

BoardPAC’s policy on data ownership ensures that client organizations retain full ownership over their board meeting data, documents, and records stored within the platform. Clients are granted complete control over how their information is managed, accessed, and transferred, whether using SaaS or on-premise deployment options.
All uploaded board documents, meeting minutes, attachments, and user-generated content remain the property of the client organization.
BoardPAC does not claim rights over client data and adheres to strict confidentiality measures, including contractual commitments in its Terms of Service and privacy policies.
BoardPAC provides mechanisms for data export, backup, and migration, enabling organizations to retrieve and transfer all board-related records in standardized formats as needed.
When transitioning between SaaS and on-premise or migrating to other solutions, BoardPAC supports secure data portability, ensuring clients can move their information without risk of vendor lock-in.
BoardPAC’s contract renewal and cancellation terms are structured to give clients flexibility while emphasizing clear notice periods and service commitments. Here are the key data points:
Contracts and subscriptions are typically annual, with automatic or negotiated renewal at the end of each term unless a notice of non-renewal or change is provided by the client.
To reduce the number of end users or downgrade service upon renewal, written notice (including email) must be provided to BoardPAC at least 30 days before the end of the current term.
Additional end users can be added at any time during a term and are billed pro rata to ensure all subscriptions align with the organization’s annual renewal cycle.
Service levels, pricing, and terms for the renewal period may be updated, and clients will be notified in advance of any changes, typically through updated order forms or term amendments.
If a client chooses to cancel, the subscription remains active until the end of the current (paid) annual or contractual period; there is no right to refund or credit for unused time.
Cancellation requires written notice (email accepted); once received, services continue until term-end, with no further charges for future periods.
The agreement may also be terminated by either party with 30 days’ written notice in the event of a material breach not cured within that notice period.
Immediate termination is possible if a party ceases business operations or files for insolvency.
