The system tracks the expiration date of your Strategic Pricing Associates contract, and some values reset after your expiration date passes without a renewal. Those values are described in detail in this documentation. Purchasing the Strategic Pricing companion product is a one time charge. In addition, you purchase your services directly from Strategic Pricing Associates for a single year, or at a discount for multiple years. Contact your sales representative for more information.
