Courtesy Access Terms

Effective: 13 October 2026 · Last updated: 13 October 2026

These terms add to our Terms of Service.

Courtesy codes are typically special access we share through partner communities. They aren't the same as a standing free trial.

1. What you get

A courtesy code gives your account free access to one of our paid tiers, starting the moment you enter the code. We don't ask for payment details.

The tier, the number of days and the deadline for entering the code are stated where you receive the code, for example in the email that brings it to you. After you activate it, your account page shows the tier and the day your access ends.

2. How long it lasts

Access starts when you enter the code. The predetermined number of days begins the next day. Access ends at midnight, your local time, at the end of the final day.

Example. If you enter a 14-day code on a Tuesday, your counted days run from Wednesday through the end of the Tuesday two weeks later.

"Your local time" means the time zone on your account. If we couldn't detect one, we use the time zone most relevant to the group receiving the code: for example, Brasília time (BRT) for courtesy access programs intended for Brazil-based communities.

3. When it ends

When courtesy access ends:

• your account goes back to the plan it had before
• nothing is charged. If you have a paid plan, your next charge comes on your pushed-back billing date (see below). If you decide to upgrade, that's your own choice.
• nothing in your account is deleted. All saved research stays on your dashboard, on the free plan or any paid tier. It's only deleted if you delete your account, and you can ask us for a copy before you do.

You can subscribe to a paid plan at any time, before or after your courtesy access ends.

If you already pay for a plan. A courtesy code gives everyone the same thing: the courtesy tier, free, for the courtesy period. If you already have a paid plan when you enter a code, you keep what you have and we add the courtesy days to your plan, so you never pay for days we gave you. In practice:

• If your plan is below the courtesy tier, your account is upgraded to the courtesy tier for the courtesy period, and your next billing date moves back by the same number of days.
• If your plan is the courtesy tier or higher, your next billing date moves back by the courtesy days.
• On an annual plan, your current term is extended by the courtesy days instead.
• If you subscribe to a paid plan during a courtesy period, you pay right away and take your spot under the Founding Beta Terms, and your remaining courtesy days are added to your new plan.

Courtesy days don't count as paid months under the Founding Beta Terms.

4. When you can use a code

Each code has a deadline: the last day it can be entered. A code entered before its deadline applies in full, even if the courtesy period extends beyond the deadline. Each account can use a given code once.

5. Courtesy access and founding pricing

Courtesy access doesn't take a ring spot under the Founding Beta Terms. You get a spot only when you first pay for a plan. While you're using courtesy access, other people may pay and fill ring spots.

Codes aren't mutually exclusive. Using a courtesy code doesn't stop you from using a different access code later.

6. Asking for more time

If you'd like more time, whether to enter a code after its deadline or to extend your access, email us at info@givingtreemap.com and explain your situation. We decide extensions case by case.

7. Codes are personal

Use the code for your own account. Codes can't be sold or exchanged for money. If a code is clearly being misused, for example posted publicly to get around paid plans, we may cap the number of times it can be used or stop it from working for new activations. People who have already activated it in good faith keep their access, though we retain the right to revoke access for anyone who has abused the terms of a courtesy access program, or who knew, or should have known, that their code came from such abuse.
