Yes, SMARTY operates its services primarily through a subscription model. This approach ensures continuous access and functionality for users of its services, such as address lookups.
SMARTY utilizes a subscription framework designed to provide seamless and uninterrupted service. Instead of one-time purchases for individual uses, customers subscribe to a specific service level or a block of usage. This model is particularly beneficial for consistent or high-volume usage, ensuring the service remains readily available.
How SMARTY Subscriptions Function
The subscription model at SMARTY is structured to offer convenience and reliability, particularly through its auto-renewal and usage management features:
- Continuous Service Availability: A core benefit of the subscription model is that it guarantees constant access to SMARTY's services. This is vital for users whose operations depend on real-time data or frequent address validation, as it prevents any service interruptions.
- Automated Renewals: For accounts that have chosen the auto-renewal option, SMARTY automatically processes renewals. When a user exceeds their current subscription's allocated usage, or upon a pre-defined renewal period, the system charges the registered payment method (credit card or invoice) to renew the subscription.
- Dynamic Usage Blocks: If a user's activity surpasses their existing subscription level, SMARTY automatically provisions and charges for a new block of address lookups. This process also initiates a renewal of the subscription from the current date, ensuring that service continuity is maintained without requiring manual intervention from the user.
This system provides users with peace of mind, knowing that their access to SMARTY's services will remain active and adapt to their usage demands, all while maintaining a clear and predictable billing cycle.
