Overall Satisfaction with Everest (Return Path + 250ok)

Pieces of the product are good, some are ok and some are underwhelming. The Everest suite is a roll-up of several email SAAS firms into one new home, we used some but not all before. First-year of the new company was fine, with reasonable pricing and apparent terms. However, we didn't notice hidden in a linked doc in small print a 60-day notice clause. When they got in touch to renew 45 days before the contract ended (as had happened for the previous 5 years) we asked to shrink our service. This is not allowed under the terms unless you cancel 60 days before the end and then renew afresh. So we were forced to renew as the previous year, the end of a 6-year relationship and terrible CS. Don't use these guys, they are sharky at the extreme and not apologetic about it. They are clearly maximizing the bottom line by getting ready for some form of exit event. We have handed in our notice (365 days ahead now) and won't be using these again ever.
