New User Payment

We have a very flexible inclusion policy for new employee(s) added during your subscription cycles. Here are few salient points regarding how we calculate new employee(s) payments. Every 3 months from your start date, our system will run a check for number of employees deactivated and number of employees added, to find out the actual additions over-and-above the initially paid employees.

For example: – You start with 10 employees, within 1st three months you don’t add any employees – no new invoiceBetween 3 to 6 months, you add 2 employees then at the end of 6 months, our system will send you an invoice for the 2 additional employees –Between 6 to 9 months you deactivate 2 employees – no new invoice – and so on.
There will be no refunds for deactivated employees. You are free to utilize the unused credit of any deactivated employee, by adding a new employee in his/her place, as you won’t be charged in that case.
At the end of your total subscription cycle – You will be sent a new invoice for the actual number of active employees in your account at that time (irrespective of how many employees you have added/deactivated in between the subscription period).
All invoices for New Employee(s) will be charged on a pro-rated basis, by calculating the amount up till the subscription renewal date for the newly added employee(s).

Deactivation or Cancellation of Account

You are solely responsible for properly deactivating or canceling your account. You may deactivate/cancel your account at anytime from the “Account” page within your account.
There is no separate deactivation/cancellation fee, over and above the subscription fee you may be paid for using your account (if any).
All the data present in your account will be immediately inaccessible, and it will be deleted from our servers upon deactivation/cancellation of your account. Once your account is deactivated/canceled, your data cannot be recovered.
Once you have deactivated/canceled your account, there will be no charge/fee billed after the end of any already paid subscription of the account.
sumHR may at any time and for any reason terminate the Services, terminate this Agreement, or suspend or terminate your account. In such case, sumHR will give you temporary access or option to download all your account data as-is, before or after termination of service.
