Where a User creates a Workspace on behalf of an Organisation they are authorised to represent and that Organisation becomes a Customer, the Organisation’s full legal name should be specified in the relevant Management Page.
- The available Subscription Plan types can be viewed in the 42Q App. A Subscription Plan type can be changed once assigned. The Subscription Plan type determines the cost of the associated Subscription Fees and Addon fees.
