HourGlass provides online access to its time tracking and project management solutions to all subscribers. The solution is hosted on our secure servers and accessed via the Internet through your standard web browser. Each person who uses HourGlass needs their own license.
A subscription is an agreement to receive access to HourGlass services. Within a given subscription, all licenses are from the same Payment Plan (see below) and are renewed on the same date.
All subscriptions have at least one license and include 24/7 online support, updates, archiving and best of all; no sign-up fees, no setup fees, no termination fees, no hidden costs and you can cancel at any time. Canadian customers will be billed in Canadian dollars and are subject to sales taxes, all international customers will be billed in US dollars. -
How is my bill calculated?
Your bill is based on the quantity of licenses and the payment plan type selected in that subscription. The Renewal Date is the date the payment will be processed. An organization may have more than one subscription and potentially more than one renewal date.
