6. Add-on Features & Services

The Honeycommb platform was architected knowing that not every network's needs are the same. Honeycommb provides a baseline feature set, described as any feature not identified as an add-on, along with a number of "add-on" features and services in order to offer networks the ability to not pay for features or services they don't or to pay for features and services they do need.

    Outside of termed agreements, you may chose to add or remove feature add-ons at any time. Certain feature add-ons may require a separate agreement.
  • 6b. Add-on Services
    If you paid for add-on services, it is Honeycommb's obligation to provide all aspects offered within each service package. Some of these services require your participation, for example, 1 on 1 calls. You must make yourself reasonably available for aspects of services that require your participation or you forfeit that aspect of your service. A separate service agreement may be provided.
