Question 1

Is this like a lease?

Accepted Answer

No. You own a meaningful part of the system outright. The subscription covers the intelligence layer — the part that needs continuous investment to stay current.

Question 2

What are we actually paying for each month?

Accepted Answer

Access to the SituAItional Awareness platform, including secure cloud storage, firmware updates, AI analytics, maintenance, and support. A fully managed intelligence system: not a camera rental.

Question 3

What if our needs change?

Accepted Answer

That's exactly what our system is designed for. You can use different configurations for different environments and use cases, so you're never paying for capabilities you don't need.

Question 4

Is the access to the SituAItional Awareness platform fixed for the term?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your subscription rate is locked for the duration of your 12-month agreement. No mid-term price surprises.

Question 5

What's the minimum commitment?

Accepted Answer

12 months, with renewal at your discretion. No automatic lock-in beyond the initial term.

Question 6

Do we need an IT team to manage this?

Accepted Answer

No. The system is designed to be managed by operations teams, not IT departments. The Echidna Burrow handles connectivity and data management in the field. The platform is browser-based and requires no on-premise infrastructure or specific software to be installed.

Question 7

Who is responsible if the unit is damaged or stolen in the field?

Accepted Answer

Full terms covering damage, theft, liability, and replacement are set out in your Service and Licensing Agreement, which we'll walk you through before deployment. For customers who want additional peace of mind, Echidna Care covers priority support, and accelerated hardware replacement for a small monthly fee.

Question 8

What happens to our data if we cancel?

Accepted Answer

Your data remains yours. We don't retain, sell, or use your operational data beyond the life of your subscription. Full details, including data handling and retention periods, and your rights on exit, are set out in your Service and Licensing Agreement.
