You may be wondering...
Will I need to download software?
No, you will not. Fermata is hosted on secure cloud servers and managed by one of the best technology teams in the industry.
Once I start using Fermata for free on my first Matter, what is my price to add another Matter?
$600.
Once we’ve used Fermata on our first Matter and it extends beyond 24 months, what is the cost to continue to use Fermata?
$600. The same as using it for an additional Matter.
What is the renewal timing of the annual Matter licensing?
Each Matter license renews on the 366th day; one year following the day of its inception. The exception is the Unlimited Matter Licensing which renews on a twelve month cycle beginning in the first month of inception.
Can our current Hold data be uploaded to Fermata?
I need a Legal Hold tool now and have more than one Matter to manage. What is my annual cost?
The Free pricing plan is extended to each new Customer (outside of the Unlimited Plan) for the first two (2) years on your first Matter. For example, if you have five (5) Matters today, your price is calculated on only four (4) Matters. 4 X $600 = $2,400.
Are there cancellation penalties to release a hold or stop using Fermata?
None at all.
What are my payment options?
We accept Credit Cards, valid Purchase Orders or ACH. New users choosing the Free plan will not be invoiced until an additional Matter is added.
What are the limitations of the free plan? And why free?
Research indicates more than half of all organizations don’t use defensible, appropriately designed tools for their Litigation Hold Matters. This results in inefficiency and risk of evidence spoliation or deletion, driving the need for an economical, easy to implement solution. So we designed and built one.
We are so confident you will appreciate the simplicity and defensibility of Fermata’s easy to use design, we are happy to license it to you; fully featured and without functional limitation for up to 24 months at no charge.
If you are willing to invest and use Fermata, we want to honor that investment and allow you to actually use it, certain you will find great utility in Fermata for all your Hold Matters. We think you’ll like our friendly team and customer service too.
