Renewal

It is important to review the terms of the Monsido agreement. The contract automatically renews, and there is a 30-day cancellation notice prior to the renewal date. It is the Monsido recommendation for customers to set up a reminder in the work calendar 30 days before the renewal date.

Review the policy and set alerts for renewal dates.
