Important: Ask FM Is Not the Contract
Contractual work exists only in the Approved Project Scope.
Ask FM conversation may recommend features, but it cannot promise deliverables by conversation accident. Only what appears in your Approved Project Scope will be delivered.
Project ID System
Each project involves multiple identifiers. Here's what each means:
PLAN ID
Planning phase only. Used during initial consultation.
PROJECT ID
Overall customer work identifier. Tracks the entire engagement.
SESSION ID
Temporary workspace/data session. NOT authentication. Session ID identifies your workspace, not your user account.
INVOICE ID
Billing record. Tracks payment and financial transaction.
DELIVERY ID
Final deliverable package identifier. Used for download and version tracking.
Session Extension
Keep your temporary workspace available after project completion.

Three Important Clocks
Do not confuse retention periods. Each serves a different purpose.
Secure Link Expiration
The secure download link expires (e.g., 48 hours).
But your paid entitlement doesn't expire. You can request a new link.
Delivery Package Retention
How long the finalized package remains downloadable on our servers (typically 30 days after generation).
After this, you must have already downloaded your copy.
Working Workspace Retention
How long your editable workspace remains available (project completion + optional extension).
After expiration, workspace enters deletion according to project policy.
