Details, details

We can only discount one account. If you need to support multiple groups, one account will give you everything you need to support them.

If you’ve been paying for Basecamp, we can’t refund or discount payments made before your discount started.

We reserve the right to end the discount program due to chronic abuse of the free accounts or other circumstances. If we do, anyone who is already participating will continue to have their discounts applied. We just won’t offer up new free or discounted accounts.
