Know what you are agreeing to
A contract shapes how easy your service is to change later. Reading it before you sign takes far less time than untangling it afterward, and a few plain questions cover most of what matters.
The term and the exit
How long does the agreement last?
What happens if you need to leave early?
What happens if you move or close a location?
Can you add or remove services during the term?
What happens when something breaks
Support is easy to overlook until you need it. Ask who you contact, when they are available, and how problems get escalated. Get the answers in writing where you can.
Put renewal dates on a calendar
Agreements that renew on their own are easy to miss. Note the renewal date and any notice period when you sign, so the next decision is one you actually get to make.
