Good to know
A few clear answers.
What is free?
The browser reminder generator is free, including Copy and Download TXT. No login is needed.
What does the $9 kit contain?
Twelve individual editable email templates and an editable DOCX, an example follow-up calendar, a blank tracker XLSX, a separate fictional-demo XLSX, an offline PDF guide, START-HERE.html and README.txt. It is a one-time download, not a subscription.
How does download delivery work?
MadeThis hosts checkout and digital-file delivery. Use the purchase download page or receipt link for the download. The separate site library is optional: sign in and choose Save to My Library on the purchase download page. Purchases are not matched to accounts by email.
Does it send emails or check payments?
No. You review, personalize and send your own messages, then reconcile payments against your records. Neither the tool nor kit verifies payments or syncs accounts.
Will my client pay?
There is no guarantee. These files help with communication and organization; they are not legal advice or collection representation.
Are my invoice details saved?
The generator keeps details only in this page’s memory and processes them in the browser. Hosting providers may process request data, and MadeThis checkout processes purchase data. See the privacy notice.
