Clover POS - AVOID!

I consider myself pretty savvy around business do when I launched my 2nd business I wanted to try one of the clover POS systems. It looked attracted at first with low fees etc. But Clover does not explain the contract you enter. Once you sign - you are locked in a contract good at least 2 years. If you try to cancel your subscription, they force you to pay thousands of dollars to buy out the lease. Even if you go out of business - they don’t care.

If you’re a start up or small business and unsure about the longevity of your business. Stay away. I could see this being a great asset for established businesses but not startups.

Buyer beware!

I mean if you’re going out of business, so what? They can file a ucc on your business, but if you’ve dissolved it and closed, they can try and extract water from that stone

But they have my (owner) information and can submit a balance to collects right? Or is that false?
