A: Hello,

1. Why was the LTD agreement with AppSumo users discontinued after being honored for over two years?

Notice is a 0 employee company running at a loss at the moment. The overheads (basically servers and some apis) are exceeding the revenues. We need to find some sustainable way of running it or we will close the app.

2. Were any alternative solutions considered to keep loyal users onboard without requiring a new payment?

The issue is not only a solution issue, it's that all of that takes time and developers time (which is expensive). It was the most straightforward way to "save" the product.

3. Is the decision final, or is there a chance of partial access or feature limitations for LTD accounts?

The decision is final.

4. How has the team evaluated the impact of this change on the AppSumo community and Notice’s long-term reputation?

I know, following many emails I received, that users seem to think Notice is some sort of giant of the web. Notice is a 0 employee SaaS that did not succeed, the only reason it is still running it's because there's still usage, my dad is using it, and I just could not turn off the switch on 4 years of hard work. I love the product, a lot of free users love it, sadly people that have money seem to not be very interested.

5. Will AppSumo issue an official statement regarding this breach of the LTD agreement with buyers?

I don't know, there's a paradox. The best way for me would be to kill the product, and there will be no breach as the product will not exist anymore. But the best way for the current users is that we find a solution together, it's breaching the contract, but at the same time it's the proper thing to do.

I will let the community know how it went in a few weeks, if we're not sustainable I will shut down the product anyway (with proper notice so everybody can get their data)
