Remain the owner as your estate evolves.

Estate Stewardship is optional ongoing maintenance and advice for your digital estate, with coverage defined in the engagement. It helps you maintain the system and decide how it should evolve. Your signed agreement establishes work-product ownership, licenses, administrative control, and handover; those rights are not automatically created by starting or ending Stewardship. Cancellation, payment, access, and provider terms continue to apply.

Stewardship is the ongoing, owner-grade care of the estate that was built: keeping the CRM clean, tuning automations as the operation changes, keeping reporting honest, refining the funnel, supporting launches, and adding new pages, forms, and flows to the same architecture. Advisory is included — you decide the direction with a partner who knows the build, not a queue you file tickets into. What is covered is agreed per engagement and adapts as your operation changes rather than running to a fixed checklist, because the point is to keep a system you own compounding in value instead of quietly decaying. It maintains and evolves your estate; it is not a generic retainer attached to software you merely rent.

Support runs on business-hours coverage with a direct line to the principal — Estate Stewardship is the post-build tier that provides it. The honest boundary is that service-level and response commitments are agreed per engagement rather than offered as a universal standing promise, and no blanket uptime guarantee is published. That is deliberate: ScaleBridger states support at its real status instead of advertising an SLA or an uptime number it has not committed to. What you get is defined, named coverage with a real person accountable for your estate, and the specific levels written into your own engagement.

Your signed agreement identifies what your company owns, what is licensed, and which accounts, source files, and handover rights are included. Under the Client Account Protection Addendum, work product remains ScaleBridger's unless a separate signed agreement transfers it; source files, repositories, and administrative control are not included in standard fees unless a signed agreement says otherwise. Rights depend on full and timely payment. Third-party software, licensed assets, and provider accounts retain their own terms. The aim is to reduce vendor captivity by making the required rights, access, and documentation explicit. With those rights and access in place, the estate can be operated by ScaleBridger, an internal team, or a qualified successor, subject to the system's actual maintenance and operational requirements. The asset-by-asset boundary is on the trust-model page.

Stewardship is optional. You can end it under the cancellation terms, while payment, license, access, and handover conditions continue to apply. The signed agreement determines what you own, what you may use or modify, and what another operator may access. Ending the service is not an automatic transfer of work product or source and administrative rights. The Terms permit restrictions when an account is in default, and third-party services retain their own conditions. Plan the required permissions, documentation, ongoing subscriptions, and maintenance before changing operators; additional handoff or migration work may carry fees.
