Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel before your next billing date and you will not be charged for the next month. No long-term contract.
What if I need more than 4 to 5 hours?
We can scale to a higher-tier retainer or add hours at a per-hour rate. Just ask during onboarding or any check-in.
Do unused hours roll over?
Up to 1 hour per month rolls into the following month so you do not lose ground if life happens. Anything beyond that resets each month.
Can I pause for a semester?
Yes. Pauses are easier than starting fresh. Send an email to pause and another to resume.
