Terms of Service
Effective date: July 22, 2026 Last updated: July 22, 2026
These terms are the agreement between you and Fewer ("we", "us", "our") for using usefewer.com and the Fewer service. We have written them in plain language on purpose, because terms you can't understand aren't really terms you agreed to. If anything is unclear, email privacy@usefewer.com — the same inbox as privacy questions; we are a small team — and we will explain it properly.
If your company has signed a separate written agreement with us (for example, a design-partner or pilot agreement), that agreement wins wherever the two conflict.
The short version
- Fewer finds software spend and coordination overhead your company is paying for but not using, shows you the evidence, and — only when someone at your company approves — carries out the removal.
- Nothing is ever changed or removed without your company's explicit approval. Fewer recommends; your people decide.
- Fewer is a business tool. You need authority from your company to connect its systems.
- The service is in early access. It works, we stand behind it, but you should treat it accordingly — and our liability is capped, as with any software service.
- Your data stays yours. Our rights to it go exactly as far as running the service for you, and no further.
1. Accepting these terms
By creating an account or using Fewer, you accept these terms on behalf of the company you work for, and you're confirming that you have the authority to do that. Fewer is built for business use — it is not a consumer product, and you must be at least 18 to use it.
2. What Fewer does — and doesn't do
Fewer connects to business systems your company authorizes (identity directories, calendars, accounting and billing systems, workplace tools), looks for spending and recurring commitments that no longer earn their keep, and presents evidence-backed recommendations for your team to review.
Three boundaries define the service:
- Humans approve everything. Fewer never deletes, cancels, or changes anything in your systems on its own. Every action requires explicit approval from an authorized person at your company.
- Reversibility is built in. Before Fewer carries out an approved removal, it saves a "before" snapshot so the change can be undone. How long and how completely something can be restored also depends on the underlying provider's own recovery windows (for example, how long your calendar system keeps deleted items) — we show you what we know about those limits with each recommendation.
- Fewer evaluates tools, not people. It is not an employee-monitoring or performance tool, and you agree not to use it as one.
3. Early access
Fewer is currently in early access. That means the service is evolving: features may change, and occasionally something may be rough. We run it on production-grade infrastructure with encrypted backups and tested restores, and we treat your data with the care described in our Privacy Policy — but you should hold an early-access product to early-access expectations.
4. Your account
Sign-in is handled by our authentication provider; keep your credentials to yourself and tell us promptly at privacy@usefewer.com if you believe your account has been compromised. You are responsible for what happens under your account. Your company's administrators control who at your company can access your workspace and what they can approve.
5. Connecting your company's systems
When you connect a system to Fewer, you confirm that:
- you (or the administrator making the connection) have your company's authority to connect it;
- the connection doesn't break your company's own agreement with that system's provider; and
- your company will keep the right to grant us this access for as long as the connection is active.
You can disconnect any system at any time; when you do, we delete the data that came from it, as described in the Privacy Policy.
6. Approvals are your company's decisions
This is the most important section of these terms.
Fewer's recommendations are supported by evidence, and its removals are designed to be reversible — but the decision to approve any action belongs to your company, and so does responsibility for that decision. Before approving, the reviewer should check the evidence shown. If something is removed on your approval and you need it back, use the restore path Fewer provides — and tell us quickly, because provider-side recovery windows are finite.
7. Your data
Everything your company's systems provide to Fewer, and everything Fewer derives from it, is your company's data. You give us the limited rights we need to host, process, back up, and display that data — solely to provide the service to you. We do not sell it, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not use it to train AI models (nor may our AI providers). How we handle personal information is covered in the Privacy Policy, which is part of these terms.
When your account ends, you can export your data, and we delete it on the schedule described in the Privacy Policy.
8. AI-assisted recommendations
Fewer uses AI models to turn evidence into readable recommendations, inside strict guardrails (the figures come from your data, not the model's imagination — see the Privacy Policy for details). Even so, recommendations can be imperfect or incomplete. They are decision support, not decisions: review the evidence before you approve. Where a recommendation states a projected saving, it is an estimate, not a promise.
9. Acceptable use
Don't use Fewer to break the law, to violate other people's rights, or to monitor or evaluate individual employees. Don't probe, overload, or attempt to breach the service or other customers' workspaces; don't resell the service or scrape it; don't reverse-engineer it except where the law says we can't stop you. If security research is your interest, email us first — we're receptive, but we want to know it's you.
10. Ownership and feedback
We own the Fewer service — the software, design, and everything that makes it work. These terms give you the right to use it, not own any of it. If you give us feedback or suggestions, we can use them freely to improve the service, with no obligation owed — though we do genuinely read them.
11. Ending the relationship
You can stop using Fewer and close your company's account at any time. We can suspend or end accounts that violate these terms, create security risk, or where we're required to by law — and if we ever discontinue the service or your access for reasons other than your breach, we will give your company reasonable notice so you can export your data first. Sections that by their nature should survive (your data rights, our liability limits, governing law) survive the end of the agreement.
12. Disclaimers
Fewer is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-interruption. We do not warrant that recommendations will identify every saving, that every projected saving will be realized, or that the service will be error-free. Nothing in these terms excludes warranties that the law does not let us exclude.
13. Limits on liability
To the fullest extent the law allows:
- Neither of us is liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, or goodwill — even if advised of the possibility.
- Our total liability for all claims arising out of the service is capped at the amount your company paid us for the service in the twelve months before the claim — or US $100 if the service was free during that period.
- These limits do not apply to your company's payment obligations, to either party's gross negligence or willful misconduct, or to anything the law does not allow to be limited.
The heart of the bargain is simple: Fewer never acts without your approval, and we build every action to be reversible — but decisions your company approves are your company's decisions, and our liability is bounded accordingly.
14. Indemnity
Your company will defend us against third-party claims arising from your company's misuse of the service, your content, or a connection made without the authority section 5 requires — and will cover the resulting costs. We will defend your company against third-party claims that the Fewer service itself infringes their intellectual-property rights, and will cover the resulting costs.
15. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and disputes will be resolved in the courts located there. Both parties consent to that jurisdiction. Before either of us sues, we agree to try to resolve the dispute directly first — a genuine conversation is cheaper than court for everyone.
16. Changes to these terms
If we change these terms in a way that matters, we will notify account holders by email at least 14 days before the change takes effect and post the new version here with an updated date. If you keep using the service after that, the new terms apply. If you don't agree with a change, close your account before it takes effect and we'll honor the old terms until then.
17. Contact
If any part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still stands. These terms plus the Privacy Policy (and any separate written agreement with your company) are the entire agreement between us about the service.
