Frequently asked questions

Why do I need a separate POS license agreement for my building material store?

A generic software license may not cover industry-specific needs like bulk inventory tracking, delivery management, or seasonal uptime. This agreement addresses those issues, ensuring your POS system works for lumber, garden equipment, and hardware sales.

What happens to my sales data if I terminate the agreement?

The agreement includes a data retrieval clause that requires the provider to return or export your data in a usable format. This protects you from losing years of customer and inventory records.

Can I integrate this POS with my existing accounting software?

Yes, the draft includes an integration clause that allows you to specify required integrations, such as QuickBooks. This ensures the vendor provides necessary APIs or support.
