FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Section 1: Subscriptions & Payments

Q: What happens if my subscription payment fails or expires?
A: Don't worry, we've got you covered! If a payment doesn't go through, we offer a 3-day grace period to update your payment method so you don't miss a single beat. We will send you a friendly reminder during this time. If your details aren't updated after 3 days, your account access will be temporarily paused, displaying a gentle "Payment Required" overlay. Rest assured, your data is never deleted—your history remains completely secure and frozen in place until you choose to reactivate.Q: What happens to my data if I downgrade my subscription plan?
A: Your hard work and hosting history are entirely safe with us. If you downgrade from Premium to Standard, any premium data (like your Menu Planning, Recipes, and curated Task lists) will be safely frozen and tucked away behind the scenes. If you ever choose to re-upgrade in the future, your premium libraries will instantly unlock right where you left them. Your data is only ever removed if you explicitly choose to permanently delete your Nectar & Nest account.Q: What is your refund and subscription change policy?
A: To keep our backend tracking completely stable, subscription tiers and billing periods (Monthly vs. Annual) cannot be modified or refunded mid-cycle. If you choose to downgrade or cancel your plan, you will retain full, uninterrupted access to all of your paid features until the end of your current billing period, and your changes will officially take effect on your next scheduled billing date.

Section 2: App Terminology & Features

Q: What do "Allocated" and "Unallocated" mean on my planning sheets?
A: These terms help you beautifully distinguish between your community commitments and personal hosting!
"Allocated" refers to your officially rostered or scheduled entertainment events—gatherings you have formally committed to host within your Interchange Roster.
"Unallocated" refers to your personal, self-directed entertaining events—those beautiful gatherings you choose to host purely out of your own desire and heartfelt hospitality.Q: What is a "Collective" event?
A: A Collective event is our beautiful way of handling joint or shared gatherings! Whether it’s a potluck, a co-hosted family reunion, or a collaborative friends or workplace feast, a Collective event lets you track multi-host contributions cleanly without cluttering your personal diary view.Q: What happens if I permanently move or change my home Locality?
A: Nectar & Nest moves seamlessly with you. If you update your primary home base in your profile settings, the app will automatically recalculate and resort your entire contact library across our local, national, and international Waterfall matrices based on your new home coordinate—no manual retagging required!

Section 3: Data Ownership & Desktop Access

Q: Who owns the data I put into the app?

We do not track, scrape, or sell your personal social histories, guest lists, or culinary archives to third parties. It is a dignified, intentional space built by Community for Community.Q: Can I download or back up my information?
A: Yes! To give you total peace of mind, Nectar & Nest features a built-in Monthly Backup System.

While the core hosting diary is designed as a mobile-first app for your phone, you can still access our web portal via any desktop browser to manage your account details and handle bulk contact uploads.Q: I have a long guest list I’d like to add to my Personal Contacts Library. Do I have to type it all in by hand on my phone?

However, the ability to instantly upload and sync this CSV file is an exclusive feature reserved for our Premium Plan subscribers, right inside the Nectar & Nest app. If you start on our Standard Plan and decide you want to bypass manual typing later on, you can easily upgrade your account at any time to unlock this direct, in-app bulk-import tool!Q: What if I want to add more personal contacts later on? Can I still use this bulk onboarding tool?
A: Absolutely! You can use this feature as often as you need. Whenever you have a fresh batch of contacts to add, simply grab a fresh template from our website—or keep an empty master copy saved to your desktop. Whenever your library grows, just fill out the sheet, remember to save it as a CSV file, and do another quick bulk upload straight into your Premium Nectar & Nest account!
