Terms of Service

The Cost Comparison

Modern DataTools is free. The Cost Comparison, a digital report that compares what the tools you select would cost for the workload you enter, with PDF, Excel and CSV files, is free for a limited time: no payment is needed, and the full report opens in the browser that built it. A free report can be opened for 7 days after it is built, so please download the files you want to keep. The terms below for paid reports apply to reports bought earlier, and again when the Cost Comparison is sold again.

• What you see before paying: the report is built first, and you see a preview, the products it covers and the price before you go to checkout.
• Price: free for a limited time. There is no subscription and nothing renews. A report bought earlier keeps the price it was bought at.
• Payment: handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
• Delivery and access: the report opens as soon as the payment is confirmed. You can open it and download its files for 12 months, in the browser you bought it in or with a link sent to your checkout email. Please keep a copy of the files you need beyond that.
• What the report is: an estimate based on publicly available vendor list prices and the inputs and assumptions shown in the report. It is not a quote, and actual invoices may differ (see Accuracy and Disclaimers above). Each version of a report is fixed once built.
• Rebuilds: for 7 days after your payment you can change the workload, sizing and growth inputs of the same comparison and rebuild the report up to 3 times, at no charge. Each rebuild is a new version, priced at the rates verified when it is built; earlier versions stay available. A rebuild that fails does not count. Access to every version ends with the access to the original purchase, and a rebuild does not change the 14-day right to cancel below. Another comparison or workload after that needs a new report. If we find an error in our prices or calculations, correcting it is our responsibility and does not use your rebuilds.
• Use: the report is for you and your organization. Please do not resell it or publish it as a whole.

Refund policy

• 14-day right to cancel, on every purchase. You can cancel any purchase within 14 days of buying it and we refund you in full, including any tax. You do not need to give a reason, and you keep this right after opening or downloading the report.
• Automatic refunds. We refund you in full without being asked if you were charged twice for the same report, if the amount charged was not the price shown, or if we could not deliver your report (for example because the vendor pricing behind it changed before delivery).
• Our errors. If, during your 12 months of access, we find or confirm an error in the prices or calculations used in your report, we correct it where we can, or refund you in full if you ask.
• How to cancel or ask for a refund: email contact@modern-datatools.com from the email address you used at checkout, say that you want to cancel, and include your report ID if you have it. You may use the cancellation form below, but you do not have to. We start the refund within 2 business days and complete it within 14 days of your message.
• How refunds are paid: to the card or payment method you paid with, including any tax charged. Banks usually show it within 5 to 10 business days.
• After a full refund online access to the report and its download links end.
• Please contact us before disputing a charge with your bank; we can usually resolve it faster.

Cancellation form

Complete and email this form only if you want to cancel. A message in your own words works just as well.
